Hi Nairaland users have you guys heard this culled from Punch newspaper:[b][/b][color=#990000][/color][/size][size=8pt][size=8pt][/size]

Recently, America’s TV girl, Oprah Winfrey, called on America to sever diplomatic relationships with world’s topmost corrupt countries.

Worst of all the countries, Oprah surmised, is Nigeria.

According to her, “all Nigerians – regardless of their level of education – are corrupt.”

It is very pathetic that Oprah could ascribe to a larger population, the evil act of an insignificant number of persons in the world’s most populous black nation.

Oprah’s conclusion is based on the fact that a Nigerian of Igbo extraction was caught with $500,000, which was alleged to have been stolen from a foreigner through the Internet fraud popularly known as 419.

Oprah had sponsored an hour-long programme, which ran for several days on the CNN, with the sole aim of exposing the clever tricks espoused by this group of Nigerians to con their victims.

Much has been said about the greed of the victims themselves, and I need not say more about it.

However, at a time when Americans are committing heinous crimes against children and women, nobody has tagged all Americans as murderous.

So, why call all Nigerians rogues because of the sin of a few bad eggs?

Oprah regularly tells her life story: how she was sexually abused by close relations, how she ‘walked the streets’ (Americans’ euphemism for prostitution), etc., but nobody has ever deemed it fit to tag all American men as incestuous because of Oprah and others’ experiences.

She did drugs – just like the typical American teenager, but nobody has cast all American youths in the mould of drug abusers!

So, why should an individual that is supposed to know better sentence a nation to odium for the infraction of a tiny fraction of its population?

I urge Oprah and her likes to disabuse their minds about Nigerians.

Be wary of requests for money from strangers, and if you fall for a scam, blame your greed and not Nigerians.

Gods Girl u have jst spoken my mind.
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, "

Dealing wit our thieves has to start somewhere, it's just so sad 4 some pple that Dariye, Kalu, Nyame and Turaki are the first scape goats.
If u ask me "We are marching towards a corruption free country."

The Bible and everything in it is true from cover to cover.
Consider this nairaland people, WHY IS IT CALLED "THE WORD OF LIFE"?

"The Bible was inspired by the Spirit of God. Contradictions in the Bible are assumptions of those that have little or no knowledge of it".
Believing the Bible stories by Faith makes you a BELIEVER. And knowing the story inside the stories or the mystry in the stories makes you a CHRISTAIN.

You never know who would be Mr or Mrs RIGHT tommorow.
Afterall dating is not being in a relationship.

It all depends on what your story is all about.
You also be careful how you go about announcing your story else someone else would make a million dollars out of it right under your nose.
