Last year he had summoned two hundred African chiefs to be crowned as Africa’s King of Kings. Libya’s leader Muammar Ghaddafi a few days before the start of the AU summit in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa sent a communiqué to all guests asking them to lay their garments en-route his grand entry as the King of Kings. Muammar Ghaddafi a few days later was elected as chairman of the 52 member African Union. Anyone who thought Ghaddafi’s divine cabaret was a ruse would perhaps have done a second take when Ghaddafi’s welcome speech dragged into a late night meeting with several African leaders. And what was Mr. Ghaddafi’s bone; the establishment of the United states of Africa.

I've always found "the Colonel" to be a charismatic fellow, and on this idea of a United States of Africa, I support him 100%.

Africa's disunity, a recursive reality down into her innermost enclaves, is the biggest impediment to her growth and success.

So he can Arabize our peoples. Please don't you think english and French are already hard enough to be speaking left and right.

Can't take that arabic gibberish too!

Let the Africans concentrate on national and regional blocks first before talking about United states of Africa. We are not there yet.

You're just exhibiting unnecessary fear over nothing.

How did you come to the conclusion that Gaddafi wants to "Arabize" Africa?

I hope this will not be a by force situation. "You must join, or else . . ."

now i am convinced you're an illiterate. Have you not been following the news or all you have is a transistor radio?

The guy says he's Igbo but sometimes I wonder if he really wasn't

This would mean one passport, one currency and one regional force. Ghaddafi’s pet project had been long in coming three years ago at a similar summit in Accra, Ghana, he had mooted this idea but ideological differences in the manner of execution had stalled the project. Ghaddafi wanted a fast-track but South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria preferred to foot drag preferring a phased approach on a sub-regional level

God forbid bad thing!
Tufiakwa
I reject any such alliance in Jesus's name

One regional force? Sorry i do not wish to bow to the gods in mecca anytime soon.

One passport? No . . . to travel to the US will become a nightmare sharing passports with terrorists.

I'm fine with the naija passport.

Use your intelligence for once please, the intelligence i know you posses but religious bias and hatred seems to have relegated it . Of course you can disagree with the US of Africa but this reason is just simply absurd.

What a myopic and simpleton way of thinking.

The 7/7 bombers were all British and would Tony blair say he wouldnt share his passport with them. The US judges's son in jail for fighting with the Taliban is a white caucasian american with a US passport. Please try to use it when analysing issues I know you have it!!!

e be like say na tarkwa bay boy you be. you appear to like the sound of your voice. david has the right to reject gadi mafia like you have the right to use seun's land.

gadafi is an arab nationalist how do you expect him to like black christians. you guys want to bring slave trade and genoside through the back door. it wont happen

i do not see any rational basis for a united state of africa. europe only started to unite after it had attained a high level of internal stability in the member states, and any state that wants to join must fulfill this criteria. while the union was a blessing to european states i do not think it would be for african states.

If you read my comments well you would see i stated that of course one can disagree with the US of Africa but it was his reasons i commented on.

Back to you.

Arab Nationalist - Black Christians I cant see any opposing words in here.

Let me tell you i am not a fan of Ghaddaffi neither am i in support of the US of Africa like he wants it. My problem with you guys is must you see every single issue from a religious bias?

Cant a simple foreign affairs thread be debated and analysed without your religious toxic. Since when has arab nationalism has anything to do wth religion that Ghaddaffi would never like black christians. Are there not Arab christians?

This thread should not be derailed with religious sentiments and lets analyse ad discuss with intellect please!!!

well said. however there's a new twist to all this; some apocalyptic leanings from the post messianic block. Ghaddafi could just be a stooge or acocylte to the ANTI-CHRIST-whoever he is-just as Benito Mussoloni was Hitler's fall guy in his conquest of Africa and the Japanese to the Americas and Asia. The only difference here is the detractor-Ghaddafi-is working from within

davidylan:

Now I'm convinced that your world is ruled by fear!

Grow some balls and stop panicking at every word uttered by a non-Christian.

My guy stop burying your head in the sand and wake up.If Ghaddafi had any senses at all he would understand the conmplexity and fairly young democratic age of several African countries.

To advocate for a United states of Africa at this early stage of African democracy goes to show how detached Ghadaffi is from African affairs and how ludacris the idea is. If simpletons like myself can make such clear cut observations then it should be easy for one to be able to sniff out an alterior motive by tracking this man's past political agendas.

I don't think "Arabization" is a far fetched concept in this case.

.

They are still enslaving people in Mauritania and Sudan.
Arabs started slave trade and are the last to give it up
Even Saudi stopped slave trade "officially" the other day and evidence of slave treatments still exists amongst their hired hands
Biko I bind any alliance with those bloody sons of murder
It's bad enough I have to co exist with the almajiris of Northern Nigeria

Are you certain it is the case that he does not understand the complexities which you claim? Or could it be that he is trying to take advantage of the fragile state of democracy in Africa to position himself where he envisions?

I concur!

king of kings, pah!

aint this another pawn on the-rush-to-globalization chessboard? what bait did they offer him?, anyway, u're largely blind to such issues in africa and you may well be until ur neo-colonized black mugs get tagged and chipped in ur sleep?!

and guess what? he has a one-year tenure and vows to achieve USA2 (united states of africa) in that one year, ?

open ya eyes man, open 'em wide, all this organizing everything into neat blocs, don't it just make it easy for some really smart influential someone to later propose a one-world government which they did by the way at this year's World Economic Forum at Davos and then some other powerful individual gets to be UN World Government Governor, its adding up bit by bit, aint it?

and when its here, where do you think you will be? how do u think u will feature in that new government, at the rate at which your economic bases are being bought out from under your black noses, or at the rate the world especially ur folks are procreating?! while seating on the most fertile soils globally, don't u think if the guy had fascist tendencies, ethnic cleansing might be an option to clear your lot out, anyway, i was just trying to scare ya, another scary bedtime tale

be careful what u're supporting, any fool with half a brain knows by now, world politics and affairs are largely being shaped by minds and hands that have defined agendas that do not bear democratic or just tendecies like u would want to believe

Lagos boy is always on the Arab's side cause he's a Muslim and that's typical of Muslims anyway. The point is, Qadafi is also pushing for pan Arabism. I hope you Arabic ass kissers know that too. Morocco was not or is still not a member of the African Union but is a member of the Arab league. And you want to unite African with these people? I'm sorry buddy. Arabs didn't get to Africa until around 800 A.D. And they don't consider themselves Africans in no way!!

There is no basis to form a United States of Africa except to make Ghadaffi an emperor. It is of no benefit to anybody but him. It would be utterly naive of anybody to think that Ghadaffi has a genuine care for you or me.

LOOKS LIKE GADDAFI WAS RIGHT ABOUT ISRAEL'S INVOLVEMENT IN SUDAN. THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTS THAT ISRAEL CARRIED OUT A BOMB RAID ON SOUTHERN SUDAN IN JANUARY. A PROBE SHOULD BE ORDERED FIRST AND FOREMOST AND IF TRUE THEN AU MUST ACT FAST ,NEXT BY IMPOSING SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL.

Ghaddafi is a basket case. He is not a politician but rather some sort of self made celebrity who yearns to become a leader of much more than just Libya. If there weren't politicians in Africa who take his deluded ravings seriously, he would just be a total figure of fun to be laughed at.

How can this guy be head of the AU when he categorically states that all African countries should become one party dictatorships like his own? With stupid statements like that, he spits on the graves of all those Africans who have fought, suffered and died for freedom.

Ghaddafi is not African. He is an Arab with an Arab's head on his shoulders. Allbeit a head full of shit.

As for a US of Africa? Africa is too big and too diverse to lump the whole continent under one banner.

i marvel at people's myopic way of looking at issues. but does it not dawn on them that the meaning of extremism is not confined to bombing alone and that the acts of the western world in itself can be summised to be as bad as that of the terrorist bombers. please be reminded that america backed sadam hussein against iran, backed osama against the russians and provided logistics to hezbollah against the syrian. now who is fooling who.

As far as am concerned, Ghadafi belongs to the class of human beings who lose their senility as they grow old.
I mean look at his recent drama at the Arab League Of Nations.
