Mummar Gaddafi is remembered in western culture as a terrible dictator whose demise was a breath of fresh air for Libya. While he certainly filled the role of vicious dictator sanctioning murders and bombings, he also had redeemable qualities that prove the dual nature that composes human character. What follows are 10 Muammar Gaddafi facts they don’t want you to know.

10• He was initially revered as a handsome revolutionary hero after seizing power without shedding a drop of blood in 1969.


9•His political theory, outlined in his Green Book, was designed to fix the flaws in capitalism and communism and free the oppressed people of the world.


8•He helped wrestle control of oil from those taking advantage of lesser countries, with Libya becoming the first developing country to receive the majority of revenue from its own production of oil.


7•Gaddafi’s Green Book decrees that homes should be thought of as a basic necessity and therefore a natural human right.


6•Under his rule, Libyan citizens who wanted to purchase vehicles were subsidized half of the price.


5•Because the Islamic religion forbids the notion of interest, interest loads were not in existence in Libya.


4•Newlyweds were granted the equivalent of $50,000 to start their lives off on the right foot under his leadership.


3•He went to great lengths to make water readily available; the Great Manmade River Project was the world’s largest irrigation project.


2•Medical expenses and electricity were both free under Gaddafi’s rule.


1•Libya’s literacy rate skyrocketed from 25% to 83% while Gaddafi was in power.

?confused??

This guy is 10 times better than all nigerian leaders combined

Libyans never knew the worth of what they had! Same with Africa!!

He fought well against external influences and forces like the US and won, but his people betrayed him. And now, they wished they never did.

Because after all, Hunger, Poverty and war knows no Tribe........

Libya was paradise, how about now?

One hell of a place,

just because the people allowed external forces who are scared of their failure to put Libya under their armpits.

Olusegun who?

Nigeria would have been a far more better place without the likes of obosanjo.

Never trust those Americans, they've done more harm than good

May be the guy wasn't as bad as US wants us to believe.

Ghaddafi maybe is chilling someplace now while those who masterminded his assassination and the actual perpetrators will never know peace, as God wills.

Technically, His people didn't betray him . But was literally betrayed by his people under the influence of the imperialists (US)

According to facts, he was assasinated by an external body (I think France)

Libya will know no peace unless they ask for forgiveness

Post ghadafi Libya is a mess
Democracy is a US-sponsored scam

can you mention any African leader better than them ?

Hmmmm

If you have any sense of history, you will understand what the person is passing across.

The only two strong men of africa gadaffi nd mugabe one is dead nd d other is too old once he dies am sure the westerners will come nd re colonize africa again

even Hitler was able to turn Germany into an industrial & military super power (at the time);


Chairman Mao revolutionized China but at the expense of freedom & about 40m lives;

Stalin turned Russia into a fearsome military power but committed genocides;

Erdogan is quickly turning Turkey back into an Islamic state through authoritarian means;


so make what you will of Qhaddafi...


no matter how bad a leader is, they always have some good works to 'brag' about... but we must never forget that good infrastructure & other physical amenities are not enough to compensate for natural liberties & personal freedom...


the dividends of democracy are not roads, light, water or other physical amenities...

the dividends of democracy is your freedom... to life, expression, religion, thought etc...

US of Atrocities. Atrocities and oppression. Where Libyans complaining?
