What your sources dont tell you:

That Ghadaffi has kept salaries artificially low for 42 years.

That most young men cannot afford a wedding which normally costs a minimum of $10000. So that newly wed ish is simply pot-of-gold-at-end-of-rainbow fairytale.

that its so bad that some of them actually sow the suit to be worn years ahead in hope of affording a marriage.

that big businesses besides the government run ones have largely flopped because of ghadaffi's poorly thought socialist principles.

that the male population was depleted badly by Ghadaffi's escapades in Chad.

that the Great ManMade river was a white elephant with the only remnants being abandoned water pipes seen in city centers across the country.

that the average libyan hospital is so bad that the rich travel to italy or egypt for treatment rather than die of infection.

I AM TIRED OF READING THESE COPY AND PASTE SHIITS ALREADY, IF LIBYA IS THAT RICH WHY DIDNT MOST OF YOU BLEACH YOUR SKIN AND MOVE OVER TO LIBYA AND CLAIM CITIZENSHIP?

CANADA, UK, USA, JAPAN, GERMANY AND FRANCE ARE AMONGST THE RICHEST COUNTRIES ON EARTH, YET THEIR PRESIDENTS DOESN'T GIVE FREE ELECTRICITY TO THEIR CITIZENS, NOBODY PAYS A NEWLY WEDS IN ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY AND YET YOU GUYS CLAIM LIBYA PAYS EVERY NEWLY WED U.S.$50, 000 IF ITS ACTUALLY TRUE THEN IT MEANS THOSE LIBYANS SOLD THEIR BIRTH RIGHT AND THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO KILL GADDAFI LIKE THIS.
ABEG MAKE WE FACE OUR PROBLEMS 4 9JA AND LEAVE THESE LIBYANS ALONE, IF ANYONE OF YOU LIKE THAT COUNTRY SO MUCH PLS MIGRATE TO LIBYA ASAP,

THANK YOU, DONT MIND NIGERIANS, EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH IS HEAVEN AND BETTER AS FAR AS IT IS NOT NIGERIA. LIBYA FOR GODS SAKE SHOULD BE RICHER THAN UAE (DUBAI) IF NOT GADDAFI. MUCH OF THE RUBBISH PEOPLE KEEP PARADING ONLINE ARE TOTAL BULLLSHIT. LIBYA IS NOT HEAVEN AND ONLY ONE SINGLE MAN DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO RULE A COUNTRY FOR SO LONG AND CLAIMS TO BE THE MESSIAH.

Kodewriter, stop spreading falsehood. Did someone pay you to stain the goodwill efforts of a deadman?

I think so. Gaddafi is now a dead man and his legacy lives on either good or bad. What are the legacy of both past,present,dead and living Nigerian leaders? just mention one thing that they have done for this Nation.

Use your head. Libyans are all around you. When you read trash like the one the poster is helping spread, at least have enough balls to approach the next libyan to ascertain the truth of such suggestions. These lies popped up on the internet about 5-6 months ago. A quick search on google, would reveal this if you had at least attempted it, and it is easy to understand how this could have been some propaganda messagefrom the Ghaddafi regime to it's supporters/potentials. Also, if you did a google search, you would quickly notice that this has been spread mostly on black African sites, and not even Libyan, western sites, or even North African sites. Imagine how gullible whoever started this must have believed black Africans to be, to have chosen to make this available to most only Black African sites. And this could have been one of the recruiting tools used to recruit west African black fighters during the civil war.  Many of them were allegedly paid a mere $2000 to give their lives in the end.
