LIBYA & GADDAFI..THE OTHER SIDE

check his swag tho..


There are some facts that can't be denied when discussing Gaddafi. check em out.
1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free
for all its citizens.

2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are
state-owned and loans given
to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.

3. Home considered a human right in Libya –
Gaddafi vowed that his parents
would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a
home. Gaddafi’s father has
died while him, his wife and his mother are still living
in a tent.

4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$
50,000 ) by the government
to buy their first apartment so to help start up the
family.

5. Education and medical treatments are free in
Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25%
of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%.

6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career,
they would receive farming
land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and
livestock to kick- start their farms
– all for free.

7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical
facilities they need in Libya,
the government funds them to go abroad for it –
not only free but they get US
$2, 300/mth accommodation and car allowance.

8. In Libyan, if a Libyan buys a car, the government
subsidized 50% of the price.

14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $ 0.15

15. 25% of Libyans have a university degree

16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation
project, known as the Great
Man-Made River project, to make water readily
available throughout the desert
country.

Gaddafi is someone who wasn't terribly bad. However at the same time, he did fire at his own people. his good deeds were overlooked by his violent actions towards his people.

He's growing up

"Talking about rape and cutting bodies up, it just doesn't interest me anymore... What interests me is making weird hippie music for people to get high to. With Wolf, I'll brag a little more, talk about money and buying shit. But not like any other rapper, I'll be a smart-ass about it. Now it's just girls throwing themselves at me and shit, but I got a girl back home. People who want the first album again, I can't do that. I was 18, broke as fuck. On my third album, I have money and I'm hanging out with my idols. I can't rap about the same shit."

can't wait to hear what the final product is like!

money is a drug

I had an interview today @ Club Monaco. This has to be my fav interview so far. The questions weren't generic, and it was such a chill atmosphere. My fav part was when Aaron ( manager) would give me various scenarios, and i would pick out an outfit that best complements the situation. 2 jobs, school what am i doing???! I love money too much, or i'm just greedy.

Leaks > Tumblr

I was reading Drake's interview over on Billboard, he talks about how he enjoys leaks, but tumblr scares him. I completely agree with his point about tumblr & you gotta love a good leak. Everyone edits themselves on the internet, we feel like we’re some how connected with one another, but we take on a persona of who we wish we were, so it’s all fake. He continues to impress me, i'm most def purchasing the album.

"I look forward to leaks -- knock on wood. I shouldn't probably, but I do. Like I said, if it's a reasonable leak, I look forward to it. We're all sitting here in the studio like, "Oh man the night this leaks, it's gonna be so crazy!"
"I'm really scared for my generation, you know. The thing that scares me most is Tumblr. I hate what Tumblr has become. Because it like, it reminds me of those clique-y girls in high school that used to make fun of everyone and define what was cool, but in five years, when you all graduate, that shit doesn't matter. No one gives a fuck about that shit. Instead of kids going out and making their own moments, they're just taking these images and living vicariously through other people's moments. It just kills me. Then you'll meet them and they're just the biggest turkey in the world. They don't actually embody any of those things. They just emulate. It's scary man, simulation life that we're living. It scares me."

Ethiopia

My summer was amazing. I had fun in my home country of Ethiopia. I spent some time in the capital city Addis Ababa, which is where my grandpa resides. Addis Ababa is absolutely beautiful, and certainly overly populated. Ethiopia has developed in many different ways since the last time I had visited. I also visited Mekele, which is the capital of the Tigray region. Both of my parents are from Tigray. I loved being able to take long walks with my mom, as she reminisced about her childhood. There’s a lot of history theres so I really wanted to learn about it this time around. I visited Lalibela which is famous for its historical churches. I also went to Axum and learned that history runs deep in this city. Axum is known for being an ancient city. Queen Sheba was born in Axum! The Arc which once contained the 10 commandment is hidden in Axum, I was told that the Arc is protected by monks. I got to see the huge sculptures that are more than two thousand years old. Seeing these sculptures really made me think about life, and how civilization wasn’t always primitive. I visited the smaller towns, where I got a real sense of Ethiopia. I visited places Such as Wukro, Awassa, Debre Zebit, and Asebe. Asebe is where my Grandma grew up. She opened up a hotel in Abse two years ago, and if that wasn’t enough, she built a huge building which a bank is now renting. This woman is truly unbelievable. She’s the perfect mix of humor, wisdom, and style. Being able to drink coffee with my mom, grandma, and great grandma was surreal. I see where I get my stubbornness, dedication, and kindness from.

I learned so much from this trip. Life in Ethiopia is so different from life in Canada, and I don’t mean in the development sense. No matter what the people are going through, they have an easy going attitude. No matter what trials and tribulations they face, they ALWAYS have a smile on their face. City life in Canada isn’t the greatest. People confuse themselves and try to live life in a rush, as if there’s not enough time left in the world. Yet other people around the world don’t worry about the time they don’t have. They showed me a different lifestyle, which if good. Its a refresher from the norm.


Here are some pictures from the trip. Enjoy :)
