1.Gaddafi was able to do all that with liberal oil revenues. Libya has 5 million people, and was producing ten times more oil than Nigeria.

2.My ultimate point which you missed was that countries that are not manufacturing powers, especially in terms of military weapons are weak countries

See China and Iran. Both who learned the hard way to invest in industrial development, and as a result are not vulnerable at all to imperialist powers.

Zimbabwe now just exports diamonds, imports all it needs, thereby destroying it's local industry and job creation power, creating discontent, which leads to crisis

As King Gezo said two centuries ago..
He who makes the gunpowder wins the war.

Gaddafi fought NATO with weapons made in NATO countries. Recipe for disaster if you ask me.

See my point?

I see your point very clearly

If he was so loved by his people, why was it only his tribesmen from sirte and environs fighting for him?

42 years in power, and you could not build a sustainable institution that will continue to work even when you are no longer there.

And people hail gadaffi

Anyways I don't blame them, they are from Sub Saharan Africa, where they have things worse

ollah1:
Blantant nonsense. Libya was a desert pre Gadaffi, he ensured every Libyan lived a great life. They laid no bills on water or electricity and they were always paid educated or not. Gaddfit reduced the employment and illeteracy rate of Libya and in the midst of all these, he was at war with NATO.

The same NATO ousted him and turned the country to a failed state. Know your facts right

Gadaffi was a problem that needed to be dealt with

And the mission has been accomplished

You gadaffi sympathisers can cry all you want

9jakohai:
A country cannot develop using an economy based on selling raw materials, and using the revenues to import.

Libya was exporting oil, and using the money to import foreign stuff, including foreign military hardware. Instead of making its own.

Zimbabwe economy was based on exporting agric produce and diamonds. Plus Mugabe's land redistribution wrecked the economy by depriving it of forex which lead to inflation and a weakened economy, and the currency becoming worthless.

Gaddafi and Mugabe.... All those years in power, and their countries cannot make cars, guns, computer, etc. Meanwhile, Deng of China and Park of South Korea spent twenty years in power, and both their countries became manufacturing hubs, now powers.

Sorry, but Gaddafi and Mugabe were the cause of their country's problems by their import dependent policies. Which made their countries more vulnerable to the same imperialist powers.

Gbam!

You nailed it

mofedamijo:
Whats the difference,insult is insult,some professors insulted trump live on t.v,they’re still working,some did during the protest,as a matter of fact someone flong a paper to his face few days back......i dont support such actions,but i like pple who re not cowards,insult pple behind thier backs n when u finally see them u start smiling......NO,trump brought diz upon himself,despite obama been black,he was respected,never seen a POTUS so disrespectful like this before,so therefore he il be disrespected as well,thats life.........

You are right

Trump brought this on himself

ivolt:
He won't end up anywhere, I didn't recall him being involved in war crimes.

Tell that to the Ndembeles he murdered like meat, and see what happens next

Kzinne:
i guess the Zimbabwean military couldn't stand the idea of receiving orders from a woman

not that, but the idea of turning the country to family property annoyed the hell outta them

Talk2Bella:
Lies

I experienced something similar in the east too, so it may be true.
All these Okpoko/Head bridge ipob members are dangerous fellows

Her life, her business.
Nothing special in what she is doing.

Donjazzy12:
This is exactly what messed up Laurent Gbagbo! A great leader, when he lost the election, his very very foolish wife adviced him not to hand over. When the coup to remove him happened the soldiers brutally and mercilessly raped his wife in broad day light and in his presence!

Only foolish men allow women to lead them yo their deaths. Mugabe sacked his loyal vice President because he was clearing the road to put his wife in power.

Foolish fool!

Are you sure soldiers raped his wife?

How true can that be?

DWJOBScom:
I am not proud of her and will not raise funds for her.....

Even if you despise your president or ruler , you don't have the right to disrespect him to his face!

We must be careful of what we promote.

Shouldn't that also be applicable in Nigeria too?

We have smeared the image of that office, especially during GEJ

Frenchfriez:
I understand you broh. Similarly, we haven't heard the last of NFL's Kaepernick who took a knee for the anthem. Trust me, that guy's career would nose dive. Its not like he is exceptionally good.

His face is on GQ as the citizen of the year.

And if you follow him on insta, you will see the massive support he gets, both from the citizens, and even black stars like diddy


America is not Nigeria bro,

And Nigerians seems to be getting more stupid by the day

Some Nigerians who would be yabbing this lady for yabbing trump were the same people insulting and disrespecting their former president anyhow (GEJ)

I know some people like that

timesup234:
Why dont you just admit to the fact that there are some degrading jobs white people will never do. Those jobs are picked up by desperate immigrants mostly from Africa. The condition of these jobs are horrible and no right thinking person should be allowed to be enslaved like a dog.

What you said is quite dumb you know?

Most people doing menial jobs (in number, not percentage) are white, from the guy flipping burger, delivering pizza etc even tho Hispanics don come cover ground lol; D

There is NO job that u will not see white people doing,


This guy sef

jantavanta:
I beg O! I cannot put asunder what hath been put together. Conditions can determine our inevitable choice of spouses. But let us just be aware of the challenges that have been affecting us as a people. Oyinbo do not want to go back to a world dominated by Africans.

LMAO; D

With the current crop of Africans, there is NO WAY we can dominate the world, even in 50 years from now.

peacesamuel94:
IF truly Mr David is a star today because of his frog voice and song buying skills then it is a bigger shame to Wizkid.

Your greatest rival in the Music Industry today is a so called frog how come?


A frog collected awards that you couldn't collect?


Then I wonder what he would have done if he had a sweet voice, if a frog has gotten to a level where he is now being compared to a "so called legendary musician" then he probably would have won the Grammy's, which you've not been able to win even with oyour sweet voice.

These were awards he (Wizkid) won last year

Shawnnn01:
Senseless Igbotic comment, was Rome built at once ?

What the guy you quoted said is the truth.

ibedun:
Igbos go cry again o!

How does this one now concern Igbo people sgajb
why will we cry,?

Kingx4sure:
I keep wondering what people gain from tribalism and hate speech. Why do some people use every thread on Nairaland front page to promote division and hatred. Such a pity!

For Christ's sake, tribe is by birth and not by choice. Why not celebrate our differences and get stronger together

Don't mind all these people

Low lives are the ones who behave in such manner most times

Caseless:
Davido is doing fine and very hardworking too. In fact, na him frog voice I like pass.

Having said that, this award does not in anyway prove wizkid has made the wrong decision- he only expanded his network.

Exactly

He dey find new customers lol

So you cannot blame Wizkid for trying different flow.
I personally like Sound from the other side, and I jam that album wella in my car stereo; especially songs like gbese, naughty ride; daddy yo and the rest.

I'm surprised many Nigerians are complaining about stfos while many foreigners I know LOVE the sftos (which has been the aim of Wizkid ab initio)

jantavanta:
I guess it sounds like a conspiracy theory. The "attaching" is done by their 'network'.
Check out the first three Presidents of a certain, West African francophone country after "Independence". Their wives were Europeans, so that African policies will favour Europe more.

When we were sending out our best for studies abroad, many of them returned with "attachments" to man commanding heights of our government. That is how we became re-colonized through the bedroom!

I hope we can see how the 'network' maintains their hold on Black American males and females.

Senegal abi?
These things happen.
Person cabbir marry his heartrob in peace?

Caseless:
music is about versatility. If an American art uses our pidgin , you'd say we are being celebrated. What's wrong in using patua when most of our artists got inspiration from Jamaica?

Wizkid is not ass-licking, he's making the right connect.

Tell them


These people just don't understand

they call it "asslicking"

Rubbish

Nedfed:
Davido is always at is best. Despite being born with a sliver spoon, he still hustling to make sure is music get to the peak. Born abroad yet he never lost it origin. He always futures must of our artists and also those artists do futures him likewise. He has much influence to futures has many America artists has he want but he did is visibility studies and discover we Nigerians believes in our own. Backs in the days when we listen and dance to the foreign music, but now Naija music is heard but home and abroad with all our artists gaining international recognition.

Wizkid could have been my best Nigeria musician, his voice, music and lyrics says it all. But the big mistake he made or his making is for him to be trying to future only foreign artists in must of his songs. Nigerians are no more freak with that. Many artists have done that in the past but failed, it even kill some of their career.

So, to our owo OBO, we say a big congrats to you for the great achievement. More of it still coming your way.
We Africans are proud of you, one love.

This kind English na wa o

"visibility" studies"

"future" only foreign artistes indeed

Nigerians and their wahala.

What is wrong with Wizkid sampling different sounds

Wizkid is still doing very well for himself on the world stage, and Nigerians here are talking rubbish on how he is "asslickimg"
Empty pride is what will kill u guys.


So doing international collaborations is now ass licking

jantavanta:
That is the question we should be asking. What they do there is to attach a White Spouse to any African American who is gifted, talented or "outstanding" or an "achiever" in any endeavour: music, sports, or professions.

I guess, his quest for his identity & roots came after his marriage(s).

Who does this "attaching?"

Paranoia no good o

BlowJobs:
. No let accent deceive you too, some of dem no know left from right o.

What to you mean?

He is now fat lol

potbelly:
You should be more bothered about the way your daughter talked to the maid...

You got that right

sukkot:
life is give and take. no black man is willing to sacrifice to build a country like that. most of you try to avoid ordinary nepa bill. most blacks go to these civilized countries and end up being miserable because they get to find out that the beauty of the place comes at a very high price. all the nonsense you do in nigeria will get you locked up. you will pay taxes for having a television, for putting your car on the street, for drinking water, for owning a house on the street, for hawking on the street, for even breathing the air lmao. most black people run to these civilized countries and after 2 years of over-sanitized heavily policed, heavily enforced taxation living they start missing naija and longing for the simplicity of life in naija.. whats my point ? all that glitters is not gold

You have a point bro

PataAlhaja:
What a dumb postulation!

Buhari was tried as he was the only viable option that could boot out the failure called GEJ.

Now that Falana thinks Buhari has also "failed" and no longer worthy of our votes, does that make him incompetent?

You are a fool!

A big fool!

What you wrote makes no sense

As old as you are

londoner:
You are so right. So many people leave their place of birth permanently not just Nigerians but also Ghanaians.

So many British and Irish people move to Australia and New Zealand as well as South Africans. It was also for a better life which their home countries did not offer. I lived in Australia for two and a half years so I have first hand experience.

In Nigeria there are Lebanese people that live in Nigeria permanently because their family settled there many years ago and made it home.

Exactly

He is down and in excruciating pains from wounds of gun shots from a gallant biafran soldier.

The gallant "biafran soldier" that was killed like a fowl, while Ibb later became Nigerian president

aribisala0:
Inequality is a big problem in Nigeria

Yeah

You are right.
Economic inequality in Nigeria

But the yiuths want to be like them, but are not ready to work.

They envy the life of the affluent, but are not ready to put into the work
