great:

With the current state and direction of both the
government and the people of Nigeria—Africa’s
largest nation and the world’s most populated
black country—the nation is not headed for
improvement on these shameful rankings, but
more predictably to slide further down the
ladder into the darkest crevices of the black
hole of Calcutta.
The question is: To act or to give-up? And the
follow-up question is: If we the people decide
to do something, what should and can we do?
