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?

One day 10 years ago in the countryside of southern Nigeria, a slim middle-aged man drove past a bag of garbage. Garbage is not an unusual sight in West Africa; village roads are often lined with a parallel hillock of trash dusty bottles, spoiled food, tin cans, car parts out of which small trees sometimes grow. But this solitary bag looked promising. It was a quiet, sunny late afternoon in the dry season. The man stopped the car and walked over to look inside.
