If Ghadaffi Had Been A Nigerian by HRT2010: 10:49am On Oct 21, 2011
If this guy had been a Nigerian Head of State or President:
1. His "Odeeshi" from the Bakassi Boys would have bounced back all the bullets from the insurgents
2. His "Disappearing Amulets" from the Egbesu Boys would have catapulted him to his mother's village.
3. His "Madarakan" from OPC would have warded off all his enemies before they reach where he is.

Why should someone who sat tight for 42 years, amassed wealth and had the heart to kill his own people not take measures like consulting his Nigeria and Ivorien friends to protect himself from such brutal death?

Let us have your views people.

@ KX: Do you really thing that the 'odeeshi" of a Nigerian politician will expire and he will not have a fall back plan?
I am deeply surprised that Ghadaffi that does not give a damn about the lives of fellow citizens would not use diabolical protection from his African brothers.
I guess death catches up with every one!

Do not engage in baseless hypothetical events. It is not healthy for your mental health. Be a realist. He wasn't a Nigeria, simple as that.

In order to keep people of mostly Arabs in check. It needs an autocratic rule. Sorry if that sounds unfair but that is how that region works. If you understand the Arab mind and their teachings. You would know that democracy and pluralism is very alien to them.

This is not true,  Nigerians are better than that. We have worse leaders than Gaddafi. If Gaddafi had been a Nigerian, he wouldn't have lasted this long – pure and simple.  in Nigeria, we have our own unique way of dealing with despotic leaders. Abacha was a worse leader than Gaddafi, and  he could only last a few years. Believe it or not, Abacha did not die  a natural death, he was nicely dealt with with minimal bloodshed
Re: If Ghadaffi Had Been A Nigerian by mikron(m): 2:22pm On Oct 21, 2011
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.
Re: If Ghadaffi Had Been A Nigerian by mikron(m): 2:29pm On Oct 21, 2011
@ijogzk i kind of agree with you in the area of us starting our own revolution earlier but to label all nigerians as lazy is a very silly thing for u to say. If u are lazy i am not. Watch the way u talk in public.

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

The truth of the matter is that Ghadaffi would have being murdered for not even more than 12 years on the presidential seat, No matter how sweet his tenure is. I trust Nigerians, Abacha is a witness wherever he is. Abija neva die now. LOL
But His reign was a very great one, cuz thr was no pain in Libya, I wouldn't mind someone like him to rule us for 500 years, by now i for don marry.

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!! angry

I agree that Ghadaffi was a tyrant, the context of this information is for us Nigerians to ask our selves critical questions about what ,how we define what we are as a people, so called democracy we have of 12 years.

The simple truth here is that its a shame that a mad and crazy Ghadaffi was able to accomplish what our supposed , have been unable to accomplish in 51 years, " Calm & useless". undecided

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?

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
