To think some black Africans still praise this man like like he is some sort of Mandela.

Anyway thankfully, history does not forget.

Indeed, you put it succinctly. This is the reason why I created a thread for this.

It's surprising to me as well that a large number of the younger generation (especially those born within the last 30 years) do NOT know first-hand the ruthless nature of Gaddafi. They are looking for heros all about hence they latch on to the memories of often dictatorial past rulers to fill in their fantasies for good governance.

Those of us who are older from back in the day knew Gaddafi to be a major sponsor of terror groups with the millions of USD of oil money Libya made and he was very vocal in making inciting comments and this is why after the Lockerbie PanAm bombing Gaddafi was fingered as a sponsor.

The iconic Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore was himself a ruthless dictator in his city-state but fortunately his was that of a "benevolent dictatorship" hence he put a lot into transforming his country from an underdeveloped to an advanced country while being ruthless on crimes such as hard drugs trafficking, Indian hemp trafficking and other vices through the death penalty. That should be the ideal Nigerian model or model adopted by all subnationals. The Nigerian President 'Bola Tinubu has to adopt this strategy instead of being too nice otherwise he would fail like the others before him who treated foreign Fula herdsmen and banditry with levity. Any corruption or crimes should be treated via capital punishments the Singapore way.

Nice comment, but I laughed when I saw tulumbu in your comment, that name alone destroyed your beautiful comment..

You want a man who want to grant presidential pardon, to drug lord, killers and criminals to come and fix Nigeria like the Singapore man did...? that man destroyed and set back Nigeria for another 50 years with this few period he snatched and grabbed power.

Very laughable, I would suggest you edit and remove that useless name from your beautiful comment.
