  I THINK IT WILL BE BEST TO LOOK AT THE EUROPEAN MODEL. THE NEED TO PROVIDE GREATER MOBILITY TO WEST AFRICAN CITIZENS BETWEEN NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES WILL BE PARAMOUNT. HOWEVER, THESE NATIONS MUST MAINTAIN THEIR RESPECTIVE CURRENCIES. THE EURO MODEL SHOWED US THE VARIOUS PITFALLS THAT COME WITH THIS. WAT DO YOU DO WITH NEIGHBOURING NATIONS WHO DONT PULL THEIR WEIGHT? SURE, YOU CAN PROVIDE THE NECESSARY BAILOUTS AND HELP, BUT YOU CANT FORCE A HORSE TO DRINK.
