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?

Only in a banana republic would this sort of thing happen. Is the wife of the President an elected position?? How comes she is able to do this without the collusion of officials of the Presidency whose jobs are to ensure that the President performs his duties unfettered? How did she become so powerful as to hold everyone at bay and call the shots so hotly? It is down to one thing. Corruption and cowardice. These guys want to remain on her good books..'just in case'. It is sad. 80 days!!!! and no one can tell us what is happening to our President or what state he is in.! Na wah oh!

I would REALLY like to know a few things:

1. Why was YarAdua brought back in such a hurry.... Was he forced out of Saudi?

2. Why the secrecy about his return (even to his VP?)

3. Who ORDERED the troops for the 'operation', without the knowledge and approval of the acting Commander in Chief? And are there going to be recriminations or it is going to be another PDP 'Family Affair'?
