Did you know? The Nigerian Constitution + rights and freedoms

The 1999 constitution restored democratic rule to Nigeria [yet again], and remains in force today.
www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm

The Nigerian ideal, as expressed is the Constitution, is really wonderful:
14.2(a)  sovereignty belongs to the people
14.2(b)  the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government:
17.1  The State social order is founded on ideals of Freedom, Equality and Justice.
for example.  More rights here. 

On the other hand, the reality is that too many are unsafe, poor, and even oppressed. 
Furthermore, the document as drafted is not gender-neutral, it is not gender blind, it mentions marriage and 'woman', and uses 'he' when I presume it means me, you, and others who may not be male. 
See Sections 26 - 29 for instance. 
Citizenship can be gained by marrying a Nigerian male but not by marrying a Nigerian female?  Why?  I reject this asymmetry. 

What do you love / dislike about the Constitution of Nigeria?

Yes, Prime Minister

https://www.google.com/search?q=fashola&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAmoVChMI94a25emMyQIVxj4UCh11VQ8e&biw=1333&bih=534
 Former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola, is named Nigeria's Minister for Power, Works and Housing.

I just want to say, this is hope.

I think his appointment means we'll solve electricity (with enabling laws, with incorporating solar and sustainable off-grid modules; with a real answer, and we'll do it fast. )

I believe it means that there will magically appear a road and/or rail network throughout Nigeria that enables one nation to travel for work or leisure, that there will be adopted a system of maintenance for the same, and that we will forever remember Fashola of Nigeria.

I hope it means a fair home, land, and building system that enables individuals and groups to build wealth and enterprise in a stable and safe society. 

I also want to say that, should the brotha need me, I would (even) move to Abuja to be part of this revolution.
Of course if he already has the people he needs, never mind.  I'll be here campaigning for the split workday / split workweek.
(General idea: How sweet would life be if instead of 9-5, there were two daily six-hour shifts or two weekly three-day shifts?  Everybody gains.  Time, lifestyle, half the traffic, more commerce, longer business hours, better families, greater leisure, flexible time, ...)

Many Nigerians observe a religion

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
- The Holy Bible (NIV), Micah 6:8

Break Up? Never!

 A cartoon of Nigeria, where it seems to some that there is a trade-off between staying together / avoiding civil war, and growing / developing at a fast pace.
What do you think?
Should we break down up to speed up?
Or are peace and progress too closely linked?
