THEY LIED ABOUT GADDAFI.



Throughout the history of African governments, we've had heads of states who were ousted or killed because of what they believed in. It's their stand that made them lose power.

We must also "acknowledge" the role played by the US in ensuring that Africa is "clean"

One of the victim is Libya. During the days when Muammar Gaddafi was in power, Libyans enjoyed their lives until the US under President Obama labelled him as a dictator simply not he was pushing the United Africa agenda.


They feared that if the push was to succeed, they will lose some of their puppets.


He was hunted in his own country upto his birthplace of Sirte. 

Now , how was he a dictator ?


Under him, Libyans were enjoying free electricity that came free of charge as he saw that it was his responsibility to make sure that everyone could access power.


Citizens who took loans from State owned banks were not asked to pay with interests. 


Education and medical treatment in Libya was free. Before he rose to power, the literacy level of the country was 25%. By the time he was being ousted, it had risen to 83% . This free education was from primary to university level and graduates who were not employed were given a stipend to survive with.

Those who wanted to buy a car were also facilitated as the government would pay 50% of the price. This was to ensure that there was movements with ease.

Mothers that gave birth were also given some money to help them with upkeep of the child.


During Gaddafi's time, part of the oil sales in Libya was directly linked to accounts of citizens. This ensured that national resources benefited all.


His government went to the extent of supporting those who went abroad to seek treatment. They would pay close to 2000 dollars and also paid for travel and accommodation fee.

By the time he was being chased by the US led propagandists, Libya had no external debts and it even had reserves of over 100 billion that has now been frozen worldwide.


Even those who wanted to get married were never left behind. Newlyweds were given money by the government to support their new marriage life.


All of this was labeled as dictatorship. He was forcing his people to have a good life while people in the streets of Miami could not afford even clean water.


His only mistake was to call for a United Africa and also depending on his own national resources rather than taking loans that came with funny conditions.

               RAILA AND CURSE OF OPPOSITION IN KENYA. There is this one country in the world where no matter how people vote, they will never have an opposition leader. This literally means that the cries and pleas of the minority will have no one to articulate them to the ruling government. That country is..... Oooh, did I just hear you say Kenya ? That's right, the country is Kenya. Since gaining independence in 1963 , the country has never had a serious opposition despite having strong "opposition leaders" over the years. We can only have notable mentions like the Late Martin Shikuku and Keneth Matiba. It's either because of the totalitarian regime or to others reasons only known to the leaders. The  constitution spells out clearly that after the general election, the runners up of the presidential seat shall form the opposition which then will help citizens in keeping the government in check. This has never been the case here. The only time we can feel like the o

 WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF GEN ZS. Yesterday's protests sent out warnings to the tribal kingpins who have been using tribes as a way to lead that come 2027 things will be different. And today was also  the same in Mombasa.  Let's wait for tomorrow where the ''finals'' will be held in Kisumu. The protests were led by the '' Young Kavirondo Tax Payers Association ''  popularly known as  Gen Zs who went out on the streets to protest against the proposed finance bill. This pushed the government to the extent of revising the bill or rather removing the decoy in the form of 16% VAT on bread What I found inspiring about this is that social media plays a big role in the mobilisation of youths. This is a different generation of people who according to them, they know their rights. The worst is to come in 2032 when the Alphas and the Gen Zs come together to create a very courageous force that cannot be bribed with fifty bob. The protests were a blessing to B

 WHY ODM IS JOINING RUTO TO SURVIVE. First, ODM was a national party, with 8 tribal representatives from 8 now scrapped provinces. At coast, it was Najib Balala, now coast is gone, it doesn't belong to ODM. In central, it was Joseph Nyaga, central nologer thinks ODM. In Eastern, it was Charity Ngilu. Eastern went away with Kalonzo. In western, it was Mudavadi, now in government, and western is gone with Ruto. In rift valley, it was Ruto, now president. Gone forever. In Nairobi and Nyanza, Raila roared. He never roars in Nairobi. Even his Nyanza turf is now a shell of the past.  ODM has remained a luo party, and not all Luos ascribe to ODM. That's one reason ODM must join Ruto to survive. And since Ruto helped create ODM, Ruto will finish ODM completely.  ODM has been surviving and reinventing itself through demonstrations. It's leader, Raila Odinga, is the sole force to sermon demonstrations, and religiously, both educated and uneducated, heeds his call and comes ou
