Consitutional Review
Current events have made me believe that our constitution lacks added value.
We need to think about effective administrative processes to prevent political bias of existing governments with regards to the constitution.
Senator Mantu refutes, defies, defecates, defines the constitution is now a daily occurrence which does not add value to the constitution.
According to todays news from the Guardian.com 4/5/2006 and past reports from various online sources.
Reviewing and tampering with the constitution on a daily basis makes it ineffective and prone to political bias.
We should as citizens demand a timely review of the constitution, for example after every thirty or forty years given we time to reflect on existing amendments.
I would also like to believe that an emergency clause which permits change at any given time will be put in place to bring our constitution in line with international demands for instance.
The constitution will also clearly define what constitutes an emergency in order to prevent the Mantu's of our nation from refutes, defecates and defining the constitution on a daily basis.
I believe that if value is added to our constitution it will make a positive international statement on all forums including investments.
I wake up everyday disappointed with our intellectuals
You added value to yourselves through education and yet you sit back while your country is being under valued
Spare me your knowledge of lenghty grammar without reason
I hope the next generation looks beyond the confines of the english dictionary.
Africa's problem especially Nigeria is elementary not even secondary.
My only hope is the next generation
I am living a bad dream.
