Pls my dear Eko-Ile. since you are very close to the Lagos State Government and also an ardent fan of Fashola, pls help me tell them that there is no single Government primary and Scenodary School in Ago Palace-Way ( okota). Every morning you see young Lagosians trekking a long distance to Isolo to attending the nearly close school. Pls help us pass this info. 2 Likes |

It is funny how we are celebrating a "bridge" contracted after 14 years of Democracy and then tolled as dividend of democracy in an area that is flood prone every year, with no proper drainages or flood control mechanisms or "first class hospital" operated by the government within a 10KM radius of the areas covered. This achievement is celebrated by our leaders who travel abroad and are so to speak more enlightened than us. It is therefore also funny how we are quick to compare ourselves with the big cities of the world like London, Amsterdam. Paris etc. in justifying the need for tolls as necessary if we are to get much needed additional infrastructure. However we than forget to apply the same rule when it come to providing other public services like qualitative education at least at primary & secondary school level, hospitals that can cater beyond malaria & typhoid or fix our pot hole infested roads outside VI, Ikoyi & Ikeja etc via the revenue earned by this state. It also funny how people in this forum tell “us poor people” to go to hell (or use the alternative which incidentally is also tolled) if we do not like the idea, so that those of us that have the means can enjoy it (someone even compared the charge to the cost of buying a bottle of Coke & Gala which in their opinon is "too cheap" Ignorant & laughable as it may seem), forgetting that we live in a society where the “poor” pay more tax proportionately that the “rich”, and if the source of the wealth of the called rich people are to investigated, most of them will go into hiding due to inability to explain their sources of income as well as the pay the appropriate taxes there-on . I have no problem with tolls, but charging N250 per trip for a car and up to N400 for some classes of vehicles is shylock. All over the world tolls are used to recover funds spent on building infrastructure over a long period of time say 30 to 40 years. How does the LASG then justify the charge vis a vis the tenure of the PPP for 10 years as contracted. Governance goes beyond building roads/bridges & tolling. If this is the kind of governance we are shouting and singing praises for. I wonder what will happen if “APC” takes power from the PDP at the federal level. Note that the Orile- Mile2-Badaagry road will be tolled so those living in that area should gear up. 4 Likes |

Are some people jes dumb of crazy? I jes dnt get it! There are so many tolled gate in this world!!! People who stay in thhe UK can't even say this! It doesn't look like dt is the only way, there is an alternate route na! At least it is jes a way of collecting from d rich and giving to the poor! If only 40% passes d tolled bridge, u av jes reduced traffic by 40%, allowing 60% of d poor who complain most to av a less congested road at a zero cost, and made cash from d rich class by 40%. The poor won't want to pay, but wants d best and complained a lot! Craziness! |

ILIDEFI: Lagos was not built with nigerian wealth. Neither was it built by the federal government . The only contribution of the federal government is to built a few ugly flyovers and third mainland build bridge. Most of he roads were there before. Expanding a road does not make you the builder. Lagos was built with the wealth of yoruba elites(egbas,ijebus, ilajes,Ibadan ,oyo,Brazilian ,ondos,akokos,ikale and other carribean slave returnee,Lagos island elite ,binis,Dahomeys,Freetown ).lagos importance predates the whiteman because it served as a major port for the evacuation of produce from the thick forest of the yoruba hinterland. The most recent postitive influence on Lagos was the British . Lagos wealth has always been there. it generates revenues from it's taxes. However, Lagos is nt getting any derivation fom the use of it's natural resources(waterways). Fact:The wealth of Lagos and the western region was used to subsidise other parts of the country before oil. The wealth of Lagos ,ogunand ondo is still being used to subsidise other laggard parts . The southwest as a whole is revenue neutral(we contribute our keep). Only the south south can boast of this. LAGOS WAS ALREADY BUILT UP AND WAS A MODERN CITY BY THE 1920 many of the old 3/4 storey buildings in Lagos island were built before the 1940s The developments of the 70s ,80s and 90s basically destroyed Lagos. People started immigrating into Lagos in droves . Green sites , public park ,car park were parcelled out and built on and building codes were ignored. SO GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD. LAGOS WAS NOT DEVELOPED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ?LAGOS WAS NOT BUILT WITH OIL MONEY. EXPANDING ROAD THAT AVE BEEN THERE FOR OVER 100 YEARS AND BUILDING A FEW UGLY FLYOVERS(GOWON) IS NOT BUILDING A PLACE.CITIES LIKE LONDON,PARIS HAVE VERY FEW OF THOSE EYESORES . 2 Likes

Sincere 9gerian: Off point and off topic. The protest against oil subsidy removal was protest against extreme rightwing ideology ,plutocracy ,slavery and colonisation. Every president from IBB , ABACHA,OBJ tried to increase fuel price and faced one protest or the other. I won't bother you with stories.Have you ever wonder why there is growth without development ? It is not by accident . It was meant to be this way. GO AND READ ABOUT MILTON FRIEDMAN AND THE DAMAGE HE CAUSED IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. 3 Likes |

Re: The Toll Booths At The New Ikoyi Link Bridge.pics by MARKREN: 1:14pm On Jun 03, 2013 |
@ bloggernaija you are speaking from both side of your mouth. @9gerian made his point aptly..... There is no difference between toll gates as presented by LSSG and the removal of fuel subsidy as presented by PDP as they are both aimed at generating revenue for so called infastructure. ACN should not call us for protests when it suits them to "fight for the poor". bloggernaija: 1 Like |

Broken TV: Eko ilee i want ask a simple question and i want answer, if it was pdp government that construct the brigde and tolls on it what will be your reaction. Silly question. You are assuming they know how to build bridge or do anything . The fact is, toll or no toll I don't care, just build infrastructures and make our lives better which so far the useless and worthless PDP don't know how to do. This bridge was built in less than four years while the useless people are still in capable of building a shorter village Niger bridge after 14 years rule. 2 Likes |

Your post is so false. Lagos was the former capital of Nigeria. The attraction of populations to Lagos was due to it postion as the administrative & commercial capital of Nigeria at that time. Where did the money for the massive road expansion & other infasturcture development of the 70's & early 80's come from...... The Oil Boom. And to say that Lagos does not rely on oil wealth...... Laughable. The money oiling the financial wheels of Lagos is mainly from where........... Don't belive the Hype the day Oil starts to sell for less than $40 a barrel, which will happpen by the time US, China & Russia fully exploit Shale Gas as well as develop other substitutes, you will understand the term economic linkages in relation to my above comments.
