FACTS ABOUT COL GADHAFI AND LIBYA:

·                     There was no electricity bill in Libya; electricity was free for all its citizens

·                     There was no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law

·                     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

·                     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

·                     Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%

·                     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

·                     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/month accommodation and car allowance

·                     In Libya, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price

·                     The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 (N22) per litre

·                     Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally

·                     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.

·                     A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens

·                     A mother who gave birth to a child receive US$5,000

·                     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

Under this bad man called Gaddafi, Libyans had the highest standard of living in Africa. In 2010, the United Nations Development Programmed rated Libya as having the highest ranking in its Human Development Index for Africa. In terms of the world, the UNDP HDI statistics considered Libya better than countries such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, Brazil and Turkey.

Nigeria was rated one of the worst developed nations in the world in terms of the Human Development Indices for both Africa and the world. Countries such as Ghana, Cameroon, Benin Republic, Togo and even poverty-stricken Bangladesh were ranked as better than Nigeria. Even worse, Sao Tome and Príncipe that Nigeria donates money to, was said to have a better standard of living than we do.

Gaddafi’s Libya had free health care, interest free loans from banks, free education and subsidized housing. Libyan’s schooling abroad had access to not only finance for their studies but recognition for engaging in scholarly activities. While our university system progressively loses value like termite-infested wood and our graduates can’t even write essays much less books, Libya had a literacy rate of around 90% with women receiving an almost equivalent exposure to education as men. Of course, our rating is somewhere far behind them, even Tanzania and Gabon are doing much better than we are.

Petrol in Libya in March this year was the equivalent of 19 Naira per litre, subsidized by Gaddafi’s government without complaint, while in Nigeria successive thieving governments have attempted to yoke the masses into perpetual slavery by increasing the cost of petrol each year, now they are threatening to cut out subsidy and leave us with fuel at 142 Naira per litre next year.

Nigerian refineries catering to 180 million people have a combined installed capacity of less than 460,000 barrels of crude oil per day, yet we’re lucky if we get 75% of this production capacity.

Under Gadaffi, Libya’s production capacity in its refineries was for 378,000 barrels. Their population is 6.4 million people. They only use about 220,000 barrels per day for domestic uses and export the rest.

Libya under Gaddafi had total installed electric generation capacity of 6,248MW for their 6.4 million people. Nigeria  have 4,000MW installed but we only see about 3,000MW of this capacity performing for 180 million people.

The inevitable in life is CHANGE and no man can claim monopoly of knowledge, I think that have warranted some Libyans for a forceful change.

Nevertheless, if Gaddafi have done so much for his people, I think having him in Nigeria will be a blessings to us.

So What's the Problem with Libyans? The long rule? Or what? Col. GADHAFI, needs to rule Nigeria for 500yrs! Pls we need Gaddafi like type

Reggie2:


Abraham Lincoln once said that no man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent. No matter how good Ghedaffi was, he still needed the consent of the governed; 42 years were not 42 days.

true talk

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! HE did all this for Libyans?!

Well!! Why dont you move over there and leave Nigeria alaone!!

The grass always looks greener on the other side until you reach there .Gbam if they were happy with him they wont say he should go

If the Libyans said they didnt want him anymore, the least he could have done was hold an election, present himself as a candidate and let the libyans decide who they want as a ruler. Stop spreading rubbish propaganda here jor!!

That man was an Animal.

BlackLibya:

You do realize he offered compromises and agreements but NATO rejected them and said he had to go? I remember hearing somewhere that he did offer elections but the idea was rejected because they said he would cheat, and NATO agreed.

Be honest, in what African country where they have said they would offer elections, has the international community said NO because they would not be fair? Where do all these people in these videos on youtube come from waving green flags if they dont support ghaddafi?

mikron:

He would ve been an hausa man. They are power drunk  not forgetting the sit tight syndrome which they posess. Ironically they (libyans) are also muslims. Abacha tried to be a life president but he failed. (died). Such things cannot happen here in naija. Our multi-Ethnicity status as a nation will not permit that.

How come all his kids and family members had western education and training overseas?
How come no hospital in Libya is amongst the 10 best in Africa?
How come no hotel in Libya is in top 10 in Africa?
How come Libyan state oil company is not well run like Saudi Aramco or PDVSA of Venezuela?
How come no university in Libya is in Africa's top 10?
How come he had oversea doctors and nurses?

Wahala90:

Who be this? First, must their hotel or hospital or university be in the best 10? Secondly, I challenge your claim of not having the best 10. List the best 10 hotels, hospitals and universities in Africa.

he has a Nigeria blood in him, his mother was a Nigeria. He was actually on his way to Nigeria when they killed him. He wanted to contest the next election in 2015 using his Nigeria passport.
