Saddam Hussein was the president of Irag. He was born on this day,
April 28, 1937. His father died or disappeared 5 months before he was
born. He never met his father. His mother remarried, Saddam was beaten,
abused and maltreated by his step father which lead him to start
stealing and doing other criminal acts. He ran away from home to live
with his uncle. Fast forward, On July 16, 1979, Saddam became
the president of Iraq. Saddam used money from crude oil sales to develop
the economy of Iraq unlike Nigeria whereour leaders divert the whole money and leave the citizens with empty stomach.
Trouble started for Saddam when Iraq and Iran had a land dispute. The war between Iraq and Iran started in 1980 and lasted for about 8 years. Saddam Hussein borrowed money from United States of America and other Arab countries to fight Iran and he eventually won the war.
In another case, Iraq entered into a border dispute with Kuwait, Saddam claimed Kuwait belongs to Iraq. Saddam Hussein led government invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990, seized oil rich emirate of Kuwait. America supported Irag when it fought with Iran but oppose Iraq for invading Kuwait. America collaborated with United Nations to chase Saddam Hussein away from Kuwait in February 1991.
To cut the story short, Saddam Hussein was executed (killed) for violating United Nations sanctions and using weapons of mass destructions on his rivals.

Endeson, you nor well o. Why make a post to celebrate the late rogue,
Saddam Husein? Saddam Husein was a dictator and a criminal against
humanity. So, he should not be celebrated. Only fools or people of his
kind would say that he was a hero.

@shaibu:
America is like that, one should be careful when dealing with them,
@George: a good man can turn bad when he or she begins to pursue
unpopular interest @Robinson: Abacha was a dictator but is still being
remembered for few good things he did. I’m not taking sides with what
Saddam did, he allowed Power to control him though he initially served
his country well @realmichael, niyi, paul,taiwo , Josef, wada & all:
I appreaciate your comments. thanks

Ezeji Nnecky Chidinma
You
also forgot to add his evil deeds,he pays his workers 3 dollars in a
month.One day he came out to speak in public,he ordered the ppl to stand
from morning till night while he sat.One of his sons killed a whole
football team bcuz they didn't win a match..He treated his ppl like
slaves nd collected a greater portion of whatever he gave them....He
wiped out nd killed some Christian communities in iraq,bombed some
Catholic hurches ,leaving only the one his deputy attended...So please
before praising a devil,ask his followers if they are happy for him nd
happy with him

his bad side, this forum is mainly for people to learn and be eduated
on topical and vital issues.
