Gaddafi Wanted To Break Nigeria by jmaine: 4:05am On Oct 22, 2011
Why is this story just emanating now    . . .

Slain Libyan leader, Col. Muammar Gaddafi was a major sponsor of terrorism activities and religious fundamentalism in the country, resulting in his supply of arms and ammunition to sectarian groups during religious uprisings, terrorist attacks and even the post elections violence that rocked the nation soon after the 2011 presidential elections, Saturday Vanguard has learnt.

Security sources disclosed that they had been aware of the intention of Col. Gaddafi to instigate the destabilization of Nigeria with a view to bringing to fruition, his proclamation early this year, that Nigeria would disintegrate into several parts unless the country was divided into two, with North going their own way and the South forming their own country.

Saturday Vanguard was told that it was in his bid to make this happen, that Col Gaddafi massively funded the construction of Mosques and other Islamic Centers of worship in Kano and other cities of the North. He was also said to have embarked on several humanitarian donations and visits to Kano and these other Northern states, most times unannounced, after which he would journey back to his country.

There were also several visits by several top and influential Northerners, especially those of the Islamic faith to Libya ostensibly on the invitation of the late Libyan leader when he was alive and held sway in Tripoli before the revolution against him started which security agencies were aware of and we closely monitored these persons”, the source said.
It is against this backdrop and that of several well documented destabilization plots, allegedly sponsored or supported by the late Libyan leader, Saturday Vanguard gathered, that Nigeria moved swiftly in recognizing the National Transition Council after Gaddafi had fled Tripoli and such nations like the USA, Britain, France, Italy and the European Union gave the NTC recognition with some establishing temporary missions in Benghazi.


Though South Africa questioned the rational for Nigeria’s rush in giving full diplomatic backing to the NTC, unknown to them, Nigeria had suffered untold destruction and crisis as a result of Col. Gaddafi’s patronage and the only way to free her from the former Libyan leaders’ strangle-hold on these groups was to cash in on the international coalition’s resolve to help bring democracy to Libya.

Gaddafi's interest in Nigeria has always been known. The article has some fact in it but it's all old news.
