Yeske!: That bridge needs to be maintained,I believe there should be a source of revenue to maintain that bridge,not with the same tax payers' money and still expect fourth mainland bridge to be constructed. |

ILIDEFI: I dont want to get involved in this childlike tribalistic nonsense, but your wrong buddy.. Abuja is africa's and nigerias first purposely built city in terms of design and input of revenue.. there was a time ibadan was even more popular than lagos.. Because it was a nigerian capital means nothing, infact the place has gotten better and better since 1990.. the same can be said about calabar? if you cant afford the bridge use the other one, infact you should be happy because the original route would be decongested.. however for those who GAT it, it provides not just a convenient ride but safer one in terms of security and freedom from drunken molue drivers!! |

oshea44: Some people are just idiot, they have never travelled outside the country Nigeria before and see how the Western World Govt tax the hell out of you, I am in Canada, the govt tax 13% out of everything you buy, 13% from your Wages, $500 for car insurance every month, which tax una dey pay for 9ja, Yet una go dey complain.. Mind you, the bridge cost alot of money and how do u pay taxes? let me ask you a question, paying toll money is it not better than bad road or nothing? Please sometimes let think before we talk, cos its extremely annoying...if my second home Nigeria go bill 30% of tax from my money, i go pay........ imagine if FG can fix electricity and ask us to pay ,peolple we still complain,they forget good things never come cheap. |

Nigerians want infrastructural development and other modern conveniences of life without taxation. In the USA, the taxes are: Sales Tax Hotel Tax School Tax Liquor Tax Luxury Tax Excise Taxes Property Tax Cigarette Tax Medicare Tax Inventory Tax Car Rental Tax Real Estate Tax Well Permit Tax Fuel Permit Tax Inheritance Tax Road Usage Tax CDL license Tax Dog License Tax State Income Tax Food License Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Gross Receipts Tax Social Security Tax Service Charge Tax Fishing License Tax Federal Income Tax Building Permit Tax IRS Interest Charges Hunting License Tax Marriage License Tax Corporate Income Tax Personal Property Tax Accounts Receivable Tax Recreational Vehicle Tax Workers Compensation Tax Watercraft Registration Tax Telephone Usage Charge Tax Telephone Federal Excise Tax Telephone State and Local Tax IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax Gasoline Tax (currently 44.75 cents per gallon) Utility Taxes Vehicle License Registration Tax Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Taxes Telephone Recurring and Nonrecurring Charges Tax Capital Gains Tax Ticket Tax, you know the one you go to court for not using turn signals, etc. If you think development is cheap or free, think again! 7 Likes |

You guys are all funny,we all know that developed western countries pay tax virtually on everything in life but one thing they don't do is praising the leaders on infrastructural development...Why would you celebrate something you ought to have?...mind you INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT IS NOT DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY!Please you economic and mediocre analysts,tell me why you have to pay for infrastructures that's meant to be there ... 3 Likes |

Play your part or get lost. You're obviously pained and you need someone to lash out. Sorry, i feel for you.....You have "moodswings" at your age?

At least, after decades of stagnation and rot in Lagos, LASG has found a way out of this rut and suddenly, projects are springing up around......Even if they are tolled(For maintainance and to fund other projects), it's sure better that what we had waiting for Obj and the Federal Govt when nothing happened. When will people understand that the alternative Lagosians have to these tolled projects have never been reliable. Speaking of "Alternatives"......"THERE IS A FREE ALTERNATIVE ROUTE!!!". If LASG wanted to be greedy, they would block that off and force everyone to pass the tolled bridge.....Then we'll know what "Slavery" is. 2 Likes |

I do not think this Eko Ile is from Lagos. He comes from Iragbiji like Tinubu. He seems to enjoy and justify any hardship perpetrated by his masters. So because you live in Lagos, your own "village", they must tax you to death? 1 Like |

This is total stupidity. Why should the citizens pay for what they deserve to earn. Its true the bridge is good but it is the function of the state to provide infrastrutural amenities and create conducive environment for its citizen and investors. It is total absurdity. They are voted in to serve and not to exploit... Eko onibaje 1 Like |
