Ruling the country for for 41 years until his demise in October 2011, Muammar Gaddafi did some truly amazing things for his country and repeatedly tried to unite and empower the whole of Africa.

So despite what you’ve heard on the radio, seen in the media or on the TV Gaddafi did some powerful things that were not very reminiscent of a vicious dictator.

Here are ten things Gaddafi did for Libya that you may not know about…

1. In Libya a home is considered a natural human right

In Gaddafi’s Green Book it states: ”The house is a basic need of both the individual and the family, therefore it should not be owned by others”. Gaddafi’s Green Book is the formal leader’s political philosophy, it was first published in 1975 and was intended reading for all Libyans even being included in the national curriculum.

2. Education and medical treatment were all free

Under Gaddafi, Libya could boast one of the best healthcare services in the Middle East and Africa. Also if a Libyan citizen could not access the desired educational course or correct medical treatment in Libya they were funded to go abroad.

3. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project

The largest irrigation system in the world also known as the great manmade river was designed to make water readily available to all Libyan’s across the entire country. It was funded by the Gaddafi government and it said that Gaddafi himself called it ”the eighth wonder of the world”.

4. It was free to start a farming business

If any Libyan wanted to start a farm they were given a house, farm land and live stock and seeds all free of charge.

5. A bursary was given to mothers with newborn babies

When a Libyan woman gave birth she was given 5000 (US dollars) for herself and the child.

6. Electricity was free

Electricity was free in Libya meaning absolutely no electric bills!

7. Cheap petrol

During Gaddafi’s reign the price of petrol in Libya was as low as 0.14 (US dollars) per litre.

8. Gaddafi raised the level of education

Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans were literate. This figure was brought up to 87% with 25% earning university degrees.

9. Libya had It’s own state bank

Libya had its own State bank, which provided loans to citizens at zero percent interest by law and they had no external debt.

10. The gold dinar

Before the fall of Tripoli and his untimely demise, Gaddafi was trying to introduce a single African currency linked to gold. Following in the foot steps of the late great pioneer Marcus Garvey who first coined the term ”United States of Africa”. Gaddafi wanted to introduce and only trade in the African gold Dinar – a move which would have thrown the world economy into chaos.

The Dinar was widely opposed by the ‘elite’ of today’s society and who could blame them. African nations would have finally had the power to bring itself out of debt and poverty and only trade in this precious commodity. They would have been able to finally say ‘no’ to external exploitation and charge whatever they felt suitable for precious resources. It has been said that the gold Dinar was the real reason for the NATO led rebellion, in a bid to oust the outspoken leader.

[size=15pt]Why they killed Muammar Gaddafi (New World Order)[/size]

Some believe it [the NATO/US-led Libyan invasion] is about protecting civilians, others say it is about oil, but some are convinced intervention in Libya is all about Gaddafi's plan to introduce the gold dinar, a single African currency made from gold, a true sharing of the wealth.

Gaddafi did not give up. In the months leading up to the military intervention, he called on African and Muslim nations to join together to create this new currency that would rival the dollar and euro. They would sell oil and other resources around the world only for gold dinars.

It is an idea that would shift the economic balance of the world.

"If Gaddafi had an intent to try to re-price his oil or whatever else the country was selling on the global market and accept something else as a currency or maybe launch a gold dinar currency, any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite today, who are responsible for controlling the world's central banks

Not to mention...there was never any evidence of a evil dictator, just media created lies.

You are indeed great you lived a life worthy of been emulated.
Now that you have gone to the great beyond your people are suffering seriously.

This western invasion is what you were afraid for your people. Unfortunately that time they never knew the implication of doing what they did.

May Allah forgive your shortcomings as you are but human. may your good work shine your grave.

As for your people may God forgive them they don't know what they did.

you missed my point. Am in no way saying Gadaffi never did good things for his people but it is also crystal clear that he also did wrong things.

may his soul rest in perfect peace...Amen

as it is always said,"you don't know the value of what you got until you lose it"

This is how the new world order uses the US Government to work. When they see you as a threat to their world domination, they will start demonizing you though their media then turn the people against you and attack you and this plan has worked so well for them. They did it in Libya, now trying it in Syria and they have turned to Russia, demonizing putin and russia has started who knows the country that will be next.

...

dnt try to cover his sins

You've said it all. In Nigeria, a leader is deemed good only when he is gone. I'm not a politician but someday, Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan will be remembered as a good Nigerian leader.

and why he wanted to remain power for life? Nonsence

Toosure70:

And who says it is a crime to remain in power for a while after doing so much for the citizens under your care? Take for example the most performing Governor from the south-south geopolitical zone of our country: Should he decide to remain in power either as a Senator, Minister or Member, House of Reps;, does that translate to "nonsense" as u call it? Hell no! Or is he going to be made a victim of the hegemonic force of the EFCC or ICPC just as Gadaffi was made to become that of the US and NATO?
