reading all the above comments i shake my head in pity... i pity the african man and his ignorance and how they believe evrything the americans and the europeans do is justified because CNN and BBC says so... it's a damn shame the way Gaddafi was captured and murdered after that and the international community is still quiet about it even if Gaddafi was as evil as they say he was he deserved the right to a trial just like every other A*#S or narcissistic sociopath but this tells us the western world have something to hide and it also shows their double standards. the sad thing is Gaddafi was the opposite of all the things u heard about him on CNN and the rest tell me how u nigerians boast of democracy when in reality we do not have anything close to that tell me one country in africa with an economy better than Libya's. Libya has $0 debt and is not a slave to the IMF like us and many other countries, in Libya there is free education, free electricity, free water, free medical care and lots of Libyans studying abroad with scholarships and a monthly allowance of over £1000 he also kept Al Qaeda out of his country knowing it was a strong target coz of the muslim popilation. Gaddafi was a strong critic of the west telling them the truth without any atom fear in him. Libya produces over 6000MW of electricity for a country with just over 6million people while Nigeria with over 150million people cannot boast of up to 4000MW and you have the mouth to talk?
Gaddafi was pushing for a United States of Africa he wanted us to unite and solve the problems facing africa. He wanted all african oil producing countries to stop accepting the dollar and start accepting only the Gold Dinar as a form of currency for the sale of crude oil (this was the biggest threat to the US) Gold is one thing that does not depreciate since 2000 the price of gold has increased by 800% while the dollar keeps depreciating. Do u have any idea how much this would have boosted the african economy?
?? it would have multiplied africa's income and helped reduce poverty but all these are not mentioned by CNN and co. The biggest problem of the black man is inferiority complex we always try to please the white man believing that he is higher than us and we end up acting whiter than the whites themselves. a good example is Barrack Obama. Gaddafi might have been strong headed and showed no mercy to his enemies but which military head of state is different??? I would sit back and watch as some see reasons in their comments after reading this while others still remain in their state of ignorance and attack me. Bless. R.I.P Moammar Gaddafi.
When i read this i was like: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooo, u got the point, these westerners will always enslave us cause it seems most of Africans can not Think.
Always believing these craps THEY say on cnn or whatever media. Gaddafi is the one who funded Sarkozy's Campaign and all his troubles started when he stated that publicly.
I feel sorry to say this but Barack Obama is not better than those whities.
Oh my Gosh when is Africa going to wise up and stand as one.
Though Gaddafi was rude his people never starved.
Rest in peace "Le Guide" may you watch upon your country from above.
