This Week's WHY ( $100 weekly prize money )

WHY do Nigerians complain endlessly and whisper very loudly amongst themselves about their pitiable lot and condition brought about by corruption, mismanagement and outright disdain that the so-called politicians have for the citizens, yet NEVER actually do ANYTHING about confronting these Poli-TRICK-cians and making a stand for good? Instead they largely go about seeking handouts and song-praising these same people! Are Nigerians cowardly by nature, averse to confrontation regardless of personal cost or actually really satisfied with their lot and condition?

Please be reminded that there is a new winner on EGetWhy.com daily. It could just be you

Welcome to egetwhy.com a topical discussion forum for ‘burning issues’ of the day.

We also provide a fast and comprehensive News Service using Best-Of-Breed technology to ensure that we have Nigerian, African and World News on our site in almost real time, 24/7, so generally, most breaking news will be available on egetwhy.com before most other 3rd party news and indigenous local news sites would have it.

It is our dream that egetwhy.com becomes the hotbed for discussions and debates on African political, socio-political and current affairs issues which will hopefully serve as a vehicle for the harvesting of ideas and a driver for much needed and overdue change in Nigeria, the West African sub region and the African continent in general.

The name, “egetwhy” is from a West African pidgin slang, “e get why” which when used rhetorically, asks a question: What is the reason why?” On egetwhy.com, we ask the reason why a particular thing/occurrence is everyday and leave that open to our users to tell us why it is so in their opinion. Hence the “WHY” of the day.
