Good for them... That's how it is when you decide to kill innocent people because you are in power, but little they know that they will still loose more in the next 92days. |

That tollgate is dead and buried any bastard that want to resurface it again will be brought down, there should be interstate toll gates and not gates within the city that’s just greediness and wickedness 1 Like |

RedPanthar: Guy how can the toll gate generate billions weekly?? So let's do some math. Let's assume you are referring to both toll gates as generating N500mln in a week each, which is N71mln per day (note though that Sunday will generate nowhere near as much cash as a weekday), then divide that by an average of N350, then it means you are suggesting 204,000 (Two hundred and Four thousand unique vehicles pass that toll gate either way. Which is equivalent to 102,000 vehicles going back and forth i.e to work and back as well as those that move around during the day. I very much doubt up to 102,000 cars pass in one direction daily. That's a hell of a lot of cars. |

Neddstark: Great link. I'm going to asume here that you live in Ontario: you know the 407 and 412 dont get into the cities? They encircle the cities so are not inside the cities and that was what I was referring to. Toll gates should never be built within a city. And I still maintain that roads in Ottawa and Toronto and Major cities in Canada are not tolled. 2 Likes |

xProfx: Speak for yourself and stop saying "we" Do you know how much the smooth road have saved people from visiting mechanic every Saturday? Me I want and I will appreciate it if the toll fee is reduced. My take is that toll are necessary to be charged on all our interstate roads. It's like without it, good and motorable roads would remain a mirage. Such should be given to construction companies (not politicians or briefcase contractors) to manage/repair and toll it. 1 Like |

Tareq1105: Not denying the fact that traffic flow has greatly improved with free passage through those tolls in the past couple of months. If and whenever the tolls are reinstated, effort should be made to fully digitalise tracking and collection and avoid cash collection to the minimum. That will greatly improve transit time through each toll booth. If you insist on paying cash, you pay 5 times the digital fare to discourage cash transactions that slow down movement drastically |

Tareq1105: Mr Man, that road you're seeing is the most expensive road in the world per km. Please do your research. It is overpriced, basic and unnecessary for tolling if not for corruption. Tell me how many motorable, standard roads we have in the entire Lagos? Now that one that leads into Eti Osa has to be used to milk everyone, because of what? I spoke for myself bro, not for you, cos some of you obviously don't know the government is basically enslaving the people. 2 Likes |

leokid866: You need to visit other African cities like Nairobi, Joburg, Cairo, Addis Ababa, Port Luis, etc and see their metro system. And some of them have less revenue compare to Lagos. One more thing- they have uninterrupted power. You're still saying it's on the concurrent list but Zamfara is selling its gold. 1 Like |

leokid866:You sound like one of them too. How can you be lamenting over the loss of toll-fares to human lives. There's no amount of billions or trillions in naira that can be exchanged for the lives taken at the tollgate. If Nigeria was a sane country, the tollgate would had being turned to monument in memory of our heroes killed there. |

DaCharis2016:if Nigeria was a Sane country.....are you dense? you held protest and block all the roads.....my friend spent 5hours on the road in crisis while you were out chanting end Sars, and fem....killing police men,burning police stations, and raiding shops.....another friend of mine his dad suffered a stroke, they couldn't go out till early morning.....these are examples I know.....think of examples I don't know, and people who actually died from one issue or the other because they couldn't be attended to.....I'm not saying you should not protest.....but when you use your right to block the right of others you are no different from the terrorists and bad leaders you complain about......don't come to me talking about blood when your entire struggle shows you have no respect for it......I can't wait for them to come back and increase the price to balance loss..... |

Shokoloko:kuku go their border and ask them to open it down, because is like you don't know a border is a toll gate of its own......different cities will offer different amenities just to get you to come stay.....doesn't mean everyone follows the same step.......if you don't like the toll feel free to connect Ogun to Ajah so you won't pay toll anymore.... |
