Why
people are celebrating the demise of Col.
Moammar Ghadafi, I choose to be sober
because another African country has just
fallen into the hands of the imperialist! He
,  might hv gone. But he fought imperialism
even to his last second on earth. The
imperialist have seen free oil to exploit. They
could hide under the clog of democracy to
extend capitalism reign of loot to where it
was vehemently resisted. I weep for Africa!

How won't these indices be up when the nation was exporting a crapload of oil daily and had only 6 million mouths to feed? Even YOU would have been hard pressed to run Libya without the people seeing some of the oil proceeds. This is in stark contrast to Nigeria where we have[b] 150+ million mouths[/b] to feed.

their country sells 1.5 m barrels of oil daily and has a population of only 6 million!

Libyans will not miss the era when stormtroopers could kick down the door, yank away their daddies and bury them in shallow graves with impunity. They will be pleased to have the power to select their own leaders.

texazzpete:

You people don't care about Africa, stop pretending. You're just a bunch of teenagers who scoff down anything they read on conspiracy theorist websites.

He started out well and ^but ended on a bad note. The west saw the[b] deficiency in people he governed and took advantage of it[/b].
Killed by his own people, manipulated and ochestrated by the west,

Check out Muammar Gaddafi's Leadership in Libya.
1.There was no electricity bill in Libya; electricity was free for all its citizens
2. There was no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law
3. Home considered a human right in Libya –Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi’s father has died while him, his wife and his mother are still living in a tent
4. All newly weds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family
5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%
6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kick-start their farms –all for free
7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it – not only free but they get US$2,300/mth accommodation and car allowance
8. In Libyan, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price
9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 (N22) per litre
10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally
11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.
12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens
13. A mother who gave birth to a child receive US$5,000
14. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country. RIP

Ghadafi went too far in such a way that he forget about human right he called his people rats and all that even killed lots of people with massive graves here and there he would have stayed longer but he cause his death he knows the world dnt liked him he would have been soo good to his people nyway soldier go soldier come.

But i strongly believe nothing to regret libyia  will be better now than his regime.He is a hero he has done well let another try.Saddam was found in a cave but he was found in a hole imagine 42years he has no underground that can lead him to another country in case of emergency.wow!!!

COOL DK:

How I wish Nigeria is ruled by a Gaddaffi! May be a revolution will start.
No matter what, the man in question has both his positive and negative side. RIP Gaddaffi!

eaxes:

[b]africans especially black africans are their own worst enemy.[/b]I am Nigerian and i sometimes feel like i was born into the dumbest race of humanity.
Now ghaddafi might not have been a saint but then again show me a saint in the world.It is a matter of "who has not sinned cast the first stone"
This whole event to get rid of ghaddafi was a plot put together by the western powers for their own interests.
We are witnessing the colonizing of africa 2.0 and obama is the man in the driving seat.
Obama has basically hod winked all of africa and will deliver africa as a prize to his white masters.
You have been warned. Keep believing the western media propaganda like cnn,sky,fox etc. I have stopped watching those channels long time ago.
Rule of thumb for you guys, If a western country like america or britain is against a leader of a country stop and think. The leader must be doing something fundamentally right.If western government like the leader of country then your leader must be doing something fundamentally wrong.

Dear All,
In my own view, i think libyan will definitely regret what they did to Gadafi, the following are my reasons
1. Over 60percent of libyans dont work yet the man feed and cloth them with the oil money.
2. Gadafi try all his best to protect the libyan and libyan people from foreign attack, that is why libya is one of the most powerful country in Africa.
3. NATO and other western invasion into Libyan are doing all they are doing for their own interest i.e at the detriment of the libyan. They will destroy and rebuilt the country so that they can have control over their oil money.
If America and NATO are truely fighting for africa and not their personal interest why cant they intervene in civil war in Syria, Tunisia(recently concluded) and egypt(recentrly councluded),  They are more particular about libyan because of the oil money and they have succedded in killing the only man who can stop them from achieving their aims.

The only area i fault gadhafi is that he outght to have surrendered honourably rather than  ending his life in a misrable manner like this.

RIP Gadhafi A true Comrade,

Ayowumie:

Am ashamed of you. Look at the kind of question you are asking. Ok, answer, even with Libyans money, you agreed that he did something, what does Nigerian govt do with Nigerian money?
Let me help you out, they still the money and impoverish the massess.
Can you provide source please. I have googled it but couldnt get most of the points you put here

Once again I'm not surprised by the reactions of most Nigerians, a group of people that has no balls 2 fight for their own freedom, yet they criticize those brave enough to start their own revolution.

I'm not completely surprised, after-all Nigerians didn't fight for democracy, it was handed to them based on luck. If Abacha didn't die, I'm sure, we would still be ruled dictator style because nobody wants 2 die.

My advice 2 Nigerians remains this: Stop your sentimental bull crap against the west and focus more on your bastardized system of government, leave Libya alone, for better or worse, at least now they control their own destiny and last but not least, the U.S could have captured Gaddafi in less than 3 days but chose 2 let NATO and the Europeans lead this time, because of the economic condition and yet you people still criticize, you said you hate Boko Haram yet you support Gaddafi and his lunatic ways, what an Irony!

abbey621:

@Owobokiri- I'm sure you must be joking, your points are baseless and unless you can cite credible source to prove this, then it's basically useless. Have you been to Libya? or do you know anyone living in Libya? If you did you won't even think about uttering such ridiculous statements. Gaddafi built Libya from scratch? Arrant nonsense! Libya had a king, who was violently ousted by Gaddafi, then Gadaffi murdered over 30,000 of his people who stood against him during the 1980's. You said NATO killed 50,000? Another lie! Why must you lie 2 justify yourself. You and other close minded Nigerians are the reason this country remains corrupt and ill-governed, there's no unity, not to talk of patriotism, instead most of you sit behind your couch or computer, crying foul foul, while government continue to eat your future away.

owobokiri:

Very painfull to watch. How can they kill a man who biult their country from scratch in this way? This whole Arab spring is fake. It was designed to get rid of Gadaffi. People say he was bad and i ask; what wrong did he do? freee education? free healthcare? no debt? free power supply? made a country of 6 million people feared around the world? They just recruited islamist and baptised them "revolutionaries" and my fellow Africans are gobbling the propoganda dished out by the CNN, BBC, FOX and co. Very very sad day for dear Africa. Obama has taken this continent back to colonialism. He seem to be secretely angry with black Africans and this "Gadaffi job" maybe the reason why he was recruited by his white masters. Why is it that obama never said a word about the racist killing of black people in Libya by his NTC thugs? People say that Gadaffi killed protesters but they forget that NATO and the NTC have killed in 7 months more people than Gadafii will ever kill in a lifetime. over 50k. With this NATO precedence, Africa is screwed. VERYYY SAD here.

owobokiri:

If only you can do what you are asking me to do - provide facts. I dont know what you are rambling about. Education is free in Libya, ditto health care. You can as well check the fuel price there and other "subsidies" which helped Libyans live better than most African states. Gadaffi took over from one of the most useless kings in the Arab world and his coup was more of a revolution for Libayns because King Idris was a western stooge who didnt know his left from his right. The coup in question was BLOODLESS! Google that.  I dont know where you got that "bloody coup" thing from. Killed 30,000? Where? Abu saliim prison? That was in the 90s and the people killed  in that prison were radical islamists who attacked their warders and killed them together with policemen guarding them. They also wanted to attack the seat of government and barracks same way they did in Bengazi in February  but were crushed. It is the remnants of this group that went to Iraq, Afghanistan and other islamic hot spots to fight against their todays comrade in arms - USA. They are the ones leading the "revolution" in Libya from Benghazi as we speak. Get your facts from an independent source and not from the utterly biased western media before accusing me of all kinds of nonsense.
