Part of it is a la alpha beta.

That is why many people are angry. The conflict of interest not the actual tolling
okay I now understand

Keep screaming or go to Lekki and tell them to stop. At least that will give you another opportunity to start the endsars.

Roads are tolled everywhere, not only in Nigeria, if you like, invite putin, Netanyahu and Biden, the road must be tolled.

Tinubu is the next President and there is absolutely nothing, I mean absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Oga, write it down. Tinibu can never be the president of Nigeria. Never

Now, this is not in defence of Alpha beta, Tinubu, or anybody.

But if you want well maintained roads, then tolls must be collected.

Whatever the party in charge.

Modified

My support for tolls doea not mean i like Tinubu. Plus if Lagosians cannot petition their government to stop alpha beta then its on them. They are the ones backing the corruption there with their goverment

Anyway, our roads are in a bad state naitionwode. And if tolling would help us reduce our dependnce on debt and borrowong to fix them then i am for it.

If there is corruption in the process, it is up to us as Nigerians to do the watchdog job and stop it. Democracy is hard work


Then Lagos state government should be privatized.

Government has no responsibility then.

Well there is nothing wrong with the goverment taking the concession away from alpahbeta and giving someone else with zero links to Tinubu.

As for goverment taking over the tolling? Good idea but then people will still.cry.corruption.

Either way if one wants good stuff..

Since it was cancelled, the roads have gotten worse.

So that means....

Better we try alternatives to funding road maintenance. Or we take loans.

How did you arrive at the conclusion that the roads are worse since tolling was cancelled? I don't get you, is it that you are trying to play politics about this issue or you are genuinely naive as to the reason our roads are not properly maintained.

Tolling has nothing to do here but majorly corruption. Let me give an example: if the tolling fee is supposed to be for maintenance of roads and the person who collects the tolling fee uses the money to build mansions for himself and bribe those he is supposed to settle and your road remains in a deplorable state, what will you do?

Power lies in the hands of God. So don't be too emphatic about Tinubu becoming next president. For of us not from SW believe an old demented man like Tinubu will not be president God's willing. Enough of this madness! We need a much younger and pragmatic leader, not the old fool produced by tribal jingoits.

Stop deceiving yourself. Tinubu is unelectable.
People pay taxes and those taxes are meant for building roads.
Yes roads are tolled in other places in the world...but usually when they grant a faster access to a location...not when they are the only or main road to a a high volume area.

Your Tinubu is a chronic crook whose end is coming with this election. He has shown his true colours as an organized crime boss.

How much is the toll being collected per vehicle?

Tinubu will show you shege, it is an abomination that you still see some young Nigerians campaigning for this man. Indeed, humans are not equal, some people believe they came to this world to worship another human like them

Is there any part of my post that gives you the impression that I'm not into politics? This is an anonymous forum so let's leave it at that. You can assume anything about me that you like.

My main point is that we should not come online and start lying to the public because we want to sell a candidate. Children who are not yet matured will one day see this and assume some of them to be true.

Nigeria's roads were trash in the 90's . When OBJ assumed power he noticed the toll gates were not remitting what they were supposed to. As a matter of fact what they were remitting was almost zero and the federal government was been accused of not doing enough. Also the FG was sponsoring the entire maintenance of roads which was not supposed to be the case hence he cancelled the tolled gates since they had become useless. But the underlying truth here is that the toll gates were yielding funds, it was just that some group of people were not remitting to the government as it was supposed to be. In the end the government was responsible for the total maintenance of roads. Your argument should go along this line not blabbing

Honestly, Tinubu is kneeling on the neck of Lagos State

Lagos State need to be freed from the shackles and grip of Baba Bourdillon

Why don't you free your underdeveloped states in the south east before trying to free Lagos state?
You think Lagos state needs to be freed yet you and your family members move to that same Lagos state in droves to find d sustenance.

And removing the tolls has not made the roads better.

We can agree to disagree. In my opinion, bring back tolls. Let's have more money to spend on our roads, and stop borrowing.

Good affternoon.

No justice yet for the endsars victims...yet Tinubu wants to keep extorting pple in the name of toll.

He has been spending so much, trying to buy support and votes...he wants all his money making ventures to keep minting steadily, regardless of whose ox is gored. A chronic old cro0k

Go and ask for justice from Rivers state concerning the slain IPOB at Oyigbo.
