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?
