USA Africa Dialogue Series - INDEED BEAUTIFUL‹FW: WFN Constitution

Ayo,  This of course is the root of expression from which a proper constitution can come forward. And this is the product. (See, WFN CONSTITUTION, attached) Quite wonderful. If, eventually, the clutter/ detritus strewn round by the savage contention of warring political princes may be cleared; these are the clear issues to which the many-nationed folk of Nigeria may at last apply themselves and the adaptive genius they do possess. …Which also brings to mind "Towards Govts that Work", an article I scribbled a few years ago, that bears relevance and perhaps interest (See GOVTS THAT WORK attached).   

Best,  Baba m

Pamela, 

Tis indeed beautiful. Aristotle would be pleased. 

You see, as he put it; a good constitution, IS the "life of the people". 

This Constitution IS the Life of your people. 

In fact, if we could just grow up a bit, 

Tis the life of ALL people, in its basics. 

And on this World Women's Day, just one point fundamental to any 

Such document:  there must be equal input; from Women and Men. 

Twould set the truly sound base from which we all can proceed. 

Somewhere I've got a relevant item on this topic. 

Product of discussion with a very sage and intelligent Nigeria friend. 

I'll see if I can find it. Found it. (See TRUE CONSTITUTIONS , attached) 

Love as ever,  Paleway'z Néeka
