Ghadaffi is an african hero, revolutionary if you will, the same can be said about mugabe. You let a revolution take out ghadaffi or mugabe and in comes western puppet dictators ready to bend over backwards for European countries. The sooner you brainwashed poo tards who are calling for them to be desposed can realize that poo, the sooner africa will be able to lift itself out of poverty and regain its glory.

I agree with you, Ghadaffi is too important for Africa

As much as I dont entirely agree with the G.O but in the context of the Nigerian state, I think he was right.
What exactly are we going to be protesting against? I need answers to this particular question? To get the PDP out of power? Well, we can do that come April with an organized opposition and strategy. Truth be told, Nigeria does not need egyptian or Tunisian styled protest, it will not work here, no need starting something we wont be able to finish. We are in an election year there is no need for mass protest, go and mass protest at the polls, simple. The Egyptians even face a bigger problem now with the ouster of Mubarak, there is a looming unpredictability of a military rule, some of them are begining to wake up to the fact that they may have created a bigger problem with powers now in the hands of the military and no clear plan as to how the transition process to civilian rule will go.
We have to be careful not to copy verbatim things that ve worked abroad without understanding it in the Nigerian context. The question is do we need a change? Yes of course! Can we achieve it through mass protest as in Egypt snd Tunisia? Chances are very slim? One thing we all fail to realise is the main aim of the protest, which was to change government, inevitably that will lead to a fresh election as is being anticipated here in Nigeria. So why stir up needless comotion? Because it is happening in Egypt and Tunisia that do not even see themselves as part of Africa? Abeg make we use our head jor!

Thumbs up rhymz!
I wonder why some shallow minded Nigerians are calling for protest in Nigeria. Tunisia, Egypt and Libya's cases are totally parallel to that of Nigeria. These are countries whose leaders have solely ruled for decades. Is it their birth right? We are not experiencing such in Nigeria. Yes, we need change in terms of better life for the people and in the economy as a whole. If you beleive revolution will bring about this change we are championing for, then, the revolution should be through the ballot box as this is another election year! You all have the opportunity to vote out leaders you donot want and vote in those you can trust with power.

Protests in Libya !!!.

This is interesting but I believe the  time has come for Colonel Gaddafi to call it a day.
Only God knows the part the western world are playing in all of this protests

The End for Gadaffi, The End of Dictatorship on the face of earth, welcome to freedom the world of inter connection

Typical. Could have been predicted. I expect Ghaddafi to shove them aside with ease.
Mubarak and Ben Aliarethe biggest pussies alive.

Yea yea yea. I dont have to knock my head on the floor five hundred times in a day in  guise of prayers just because of NairaLand. You can do it better.

Yes, like this

Matthew 26:36-39 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gesthemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be very sorrowful and heavy. 38 Then saith he unto them, my soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou Wilt.

and this

Numbers 20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them.

He sponsored many rebelions on the African continent, I wonder if any African leader will be crazy enough to allow him to take refuge in his country.

I believed that the way we do anchor issue on Nairaland is not the best. Why must we be deliberating on issue that we all suppose to gain fro and we are going to be abusing each other or go against our individual believe or ethnicity? This is an issue that honorable administrator of great nairaland should attend to and find a lasting solution to. Thanks

Re: Protest Begins In Libya by insideview: 3:01pm On Feb 20, 2011
And the time of trouble's begin.

The inability of the existing political & socio-economic order to cater for a growing world population is just beginning to manifest.

Ghadaffi and his fellow members in the 2 decade club may just yet ride out this wave, but make no mistake, change is upon us and it will not relent until sated.

Personally, i believe the world is moving into a period of troubles akin to Europe's when the feudal system collapsed. The transition to a new order usually takes longer than a few years. And eventually that transition will catch up with Nigeria (i wonder if it hasnt already)

As for Ghadaffi, the question now is not if he (or the system he represents) will fall but when.
Re: Protest Begins In Libya by toback: 5:08pm On Feb 20, 2011
i think that Nigerians has not been reacting positively to the events in north Africa and the middle east. Nigerians are suffering even more than Tunisians in the quality of their living standard. so it is not just the issue of dictatorship that drives such uprising. i think that the fact majority of Nigerians are in difficult economic condition is enough for us to protest.
Re: Protest Begins In Libya by Kobojunkie: 9:32pm On Feb 20, 2011
^^^^ It does not take a genius to figure that out but apparently, some have already cooked up excuses for why they would rather Nigerians continue to live docile. lipsrsealed

Gadaffi apparently brought in merceneries fron Chad and Nigeria to fire @ protesters, they are bn paid $18,500 dollars to fire @ protesters because his army is split, half are siding with the protesters while the other half are fighting side by side with the mercenaries.

His son's statement last nite was a joke, he tried to blame illegal immigrants for the protests, sadly all the weapons used to fire @ proetsters have got made in England on them, journalists have bn banned by Gadaffi, internet and electricity blocked so its dificult to know what's really happening, I can't see a Revolution in Libya am afraid unless the merceneries turn on him but I cannot see that happening because they are getting paid a lot of money to shoot to kill, I remember that good-looking son of his paying Beyounce $1M to sing for him two yrs ago, the pictures were splashed in the Daily Mail.

Gadaffi is a despot, tyrant, military dictatorship with an authorithian regime but Europe who happen to be one of his trading partners would do absolutely nothing because of his oil and gas reserves especially Italy whose deal is with Libya is about 39%. China and Russia are libya's biggest trading partners, they both have a lot of things in common wit Libya, dissidents face torture and a terrible human rights record.
Re: Protest Begins In Libya by kodewrita(m): 3:07pm On Feb 21, 2011
He has already lost the eastern part of the country. Benghazi is lost to him. An army unit(the thunderbolt unit) revolted and took the fight to the presidential guards unit that was fighting for Ghadaffi. they successfully defeated them and took over their barracks. Its going to happen somehow.

Re: Protest Begins In Libya by pleep(m): 6:39pm On Feb 21, 2011
people dont realize that the reason that these leaders were in power so long is because they have done so much good for their contries. compare libya to nigeria. it is better to have a good leader for 32 years than 8 bad leaders
Re: Protest Begins In Libya by Abuleoshi: 7:43am On Feb 22, 2011
i thought some people here said it was not possible in libya?where is gadaffi today?his family don't even know his where about.
