Gaddafi Was Richest Man On The Planet At Time Of Death
Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi was the richest man on the planet at the time of his death at the hands of a mob of resistance fighters in 2011.
He was worth £111 billion at the time of his death, beating Bill Gates to second place.
Much of the dictator’s loot had been secretly hidden away in South Africa – with former members of the country’s special forces transporting planes full of diamonds and gold to warehouses in Johannesburg.
Six million carats of diamonds – six tonnes – and $179 billion in U.S. dollars were among the treasures squirrelled away in South Africa.
Gaddafi also owned hotels in the country – hinting at where he might have headed had he not been apprehended and killed as he tried to flee Tripoli in 2011.
The Libyan people have yet to reclaim the money: a commission designed to repatriate the dictator’s loot is still fighting a legal battle to get it back.
As well as representatives of Libyan government officials, several companies are trying to claim the loot – in what South African officials have described as the ‘biggest heist in the world’.

When the White strangers first came to Africa, We (my ancestors) were not sure about their intentions so most communities drove them away from their land but the White strangers managed to convince some of our traditional rulers that they had not come to cause any harm but just to preach the good news (the Bible) and also to trade with the local people. Some of the local chiefs along the coast started accepting the White strangers by giving them place to stay. The White strangers started building missionary centers where they stayed and preached the gospel and also traded with the local people. However, the white strangers later on expanded those missionary centers (including churches and cathedrals) into forts and castles where they packed slaves before shipping them abroad.
The white strangers did not understand the local language and the local people did not understand a word the white strangers were saying so it made communication very difficult. To help break the language barrier, the white strangers went to the local rulers and asked the local rulers to give them some of the local people to train so they could speak the foreign language which would make communication easier but none of those local rulers were ready to give their people out to go stay with strangers.
Later on, some of the local rulers came up with an idea that, instead of killing those criminals, they could actually give those criminals to the white strangers so the white strangers could preach the good news they said they came to preach to those criminals and also train them in the foreign language in order to aid communication which was better than killing those criminals. So the traditional rulers gave those criminals out to the white strangers and to show appreciation, those white strangers gave gifts like bottles of wine, mirrors, etc. to the traditional rulers. That was how the white strangers got their first “local servers”.
Those local people (the criminals) lived and served the white strangers in the castles and forts and learned the foreign language which enabled them to serve as mediators translating the local language for the white strangers and the foreign language to the local people. This helped a lot in communication. As I mentioned earlier on, those local servers living with the white strangers were the criminals in the society and although they served as mediators and made communication a whole lot easier, they also made life a living hell for the local people (some as a form of revenge).
