Oprah Winfrey through her show in April 2007 projecting Nigeria as the home of fraudsters was absolutely barbaric. It was not surprising though because many Americas are fond of reporting Nigeria in a bad light but they have never for once report on the achievements and contribution of Nigerians to the success of their economy.
A Nigerian in America design the fastest computer in the world, nobody reported on that; A Nigerian also in America design and electric car of GM motors; Oprah and her cohort do not deem it fit to report on that; A Nigerian is one of the greatest mathematician and Physicts in America today, we don't hear anything about him. Thousands of Nigerian Trained Doctors are saving lives in America and Oprah could not aired a show to commend this Nigeria but went and air a show on few Nigerian scammers that are not up to the many Nigerian that are contributing positively to the economy of the USA.
In Nigeria, before this show was aired, we held Oprah Winfrey in high esteem, she is hghly respected especially with the case of Tommy Hilfiger, but after the show we are all disappointed with what she did. She need to apologised to Nigeria for bastardising the Nigeria image that is on its way to recovery.
