US vs Ghana match: Ellen DeGeneres' ignorant tweet

For those who didn't watch the match, the US scored the opening goal 32 seconds into the game, making it the 5th fastest goal in World Cup history. Talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres then tweeted that it took her longer to look up where Ghana is. So she's never heard of Ghana before?

Lindodo what where u expecting?can't you see she is an "awo ibadan bi eni wo oyo?"

Truetalk said...

Not because she is Ellen makes her that intelligent. She too can be dumb. I guess every black African is from Nigeria then. The only popular nation in Africa.

Anonymous said...

Just in case you didn't know, Ellen is a comedian. This tweet should be taken lightly.

linda plz dnt mind ellen degeneres ignorant she has never bn to africa b4 nor does she knw anything abt africa.

Segun said...

Linda, she didnt mean that she does not know where Ghana is. She only meant it took her longer time to decipher what side of the pitch the Ghananians were playing...it does happen to me too sometimes.

Pls linda it was on this blog that I watched an african man say that Osun was a country in Africa. So ellen's ignorance can be excused. IAi

Linda u need to be more careful with your posts, i dont think that was what she meant oooooo, i feel its more like it took her longer to see from which side to which side of the field Ghana is playing from ni....... regards dear

Amy said...

Then I guess her internet must have been slow enough to open google in a 32secs! Dumb one she is. I think she has even deleted the tweet sef.

Excel unlimited said...

Don't mind her, that's why Africans need to seat up in dis world cup...just see Nigeria's game yesterday, No passion and determination to win

Anonymous said...

Kinibigdeal?.. we Nigerians (Africans) simply think too much of ourselves. She might knw its in Africa but where in Africa is another thing. Calling her ignorant or her statement ignorant for that matter makes u sound very shallow. And by the way.. .. what reasons really has anyone got to bother where some self inflicted backward nations of the world are? (Except ofcourse for the wrong reasons like playing horribly in the world cup or politisizing kidnapping of kids)

Linda, if given a world map, hw many counties can u confidently identify their location. And not just their continent

P.s: I think you comments these days are begining to lack dept. Common!!! - (frm d comment on indecent dressing - as if even guys are not disrespected if dressed in tatars to that of JayZ - being a celebrity comes with expectations frm pple) #nuffsaid

Nah, it was just ill humour. Definitely, a lady of her position should know about Ghana. She just tryina to say it's not a popular country. And this is very true (if you've been around the world)

Its a joke Linda. Tho one culd takee offence

Linda please, don't be silly. Ghana has played USA several times, I am sure Ellen Degeneres knows where Ghana is. Isn't it obvious that she was just supporting her country's victory? It seems to me like you are the ignorant one.

I don't think that is whta she meant by that statement. Mayb be she was refering to their position on pitch.

Anyone would say same if it was their country that scored the goal...

abolade olajuwon ryan said...

It was more than a game since Ghana beat USA in 2 previous World Cup meetings.. Its personal. Plus thats not the fastest goal in world cup history.. Hakan sukur scored 11 seconds into the game in 2002. But his goal is the fifth fastest in World Cup history.

Many of them are ignorant as well, just like Ellen DeGeneres.

Lin..lin this is very funny .. Because if you watch the world cup matches regularly there is a commercial they show almost after every matches or at half time.. If you watch that commercial then you will understand were DeGeneres belong.. (The ignorant) indeed...! So she has never heard of Ghana? d' gold coast.. If so then she is not in this world...shmmm yeye dey smell..

Anonymous said...

Linda, most Americans are uneducated and not exposed. Unfortunately many of us think more of them. They have a stable economy so with blue collar jobs they still live well so they don't really celebrate education like we do. They re not exposed and many of them never see airport before or watch stations of other nations

I was disappointed in Helen anyway. Went looking for the tweet this morning so I could drop my 2 cents for her. But couldn't find it. Glad u got a screen shot before she deleted the tweet.

She just displayed how ignorant most americans are.A lot believe the world started and ends in america. Even George Bush once called africa a country so what do u expect.All they do is watch TV.Too dmb to know that perhaps some of the gold she has is from Ghana or the chocolate she had earlier in the day may have come from cocoa from ghana.

Common Linda. She was just making a joke. She is a comediene for Pete' sakes. Abi u no wan make she sell her market as u dey sell ur own so???

Ellen should do her research or hire someone to. Ghana would have polvarised USA. They didn't want to disgrace them too much so America won't stop sending them aid. hehehe

Ok. Being objective, for someone who doesn't know where Ghana is, it would actually take longer than 32seconds to find. That being said, I'm sure Ellen knows where Ghana is and was just joking. Linda relax, not everything is an insult to africans.

I think both of you are right. The goal ranks 5th in world cup history and the fastest in US world cup history. My understanding of her comment is that the goal is the fastest the US has scored since they started going to the world cup

First of I need to understand what is bringing up the gay talk, who gives a fuck, secondly its Linda's opinion! If she feels the lady was being disrespectful that doesn't mean y'all have to insult her. If you don't like what you see dont read, common sense guys. We all have different views on what is funny or not. And for the others yeah keep insulting Nigeria if that makes y'all sleep at night. Rubbish

Anonymous said...

So what if she doesn't know where Ghana is? What's the big deal? There are thousands of people all over the world who don't know where many countries are, European, African or any other continent! Why take it personal? Do you think that Ghana is Nigeria that they hear negative press about every day on the news? Ellen is a fantastic woman with a great heart!

Anonymous said...

Linda, read well. What she said was "fastest goal in US world cup history". Meaning a record for the United States, and not a global record.

I believe that Ellen (just like most Americans) do not know ehre Ghana is. Most Americans do not know what's outside their backyard. Most Americans do not even know all the states in the US. This is a fact (hard to believe but true). The typical American is just too proud/busy to learn of any place else besides the US.
