Using your own theory, if you can afford to work with your hands, and legs and earn millions of naira annually or over a period of time, the it's OK for the govt to charge you 50% of your income as taxes,

Where have you travelled to and seen that it is only motor way that is been tolled.
How do you get to those residential roads without the motor way,free way or high way?
Make sure of what you say before coming out here to infect people with wrong information.

MARK-REN:

To those of you who support this extortion in the name of concessionaire. It goes to show how short your memories are.

This road was built as a dual carrage lane almost 20 years ago by a democratically elected Govt (Lateff Jakande) along with the huge estate in order to ease housing problems in Lagos state. There has been no significant maintenance work on that road since then.

We are now meant to pay tolls for this road initially built by tax payers money. Anyone who understands how tolls work know that it  is usually levied on new roads, bridges or tunnels constructed from scratch, while the charges are minimal and adjusted for inflation since it is for a long time- 25-40 years.

All LCC did was to add one additional lane (not two or even 3 - This road is still smaller than Ikorodu road a major highway which has 5 Lanes and was built in the 70s) and some round abouts over a stretch that is less than 20KM.

How can anyone who lives in that area and provides him or herself with water, security, schools, inner streets & roads to access their houses, justify the exorbitant charge despite the other taxes & levies we are made to pay.

By my computation LCC will recover its investment in less than 5 years . How can they then justify the sums to be collected in the remaining 25 years,  

For those of you who support it because you can afford it (wheather legitimately or otherwise), I put it to you nothing lasts forever (IBB, Abacha & OBJ all thought they could rule Nigeria forever). Four years from now ACN will reap what it has sown here mark my words. Tinubu's rule/strangle hold on Lagos will cease when this time is up.

Thanks bro.
Yes the US Citizenship can be revoked if one commits a crime against the State like terrorism in or out of the US. It can also be revoked if one is convicted of trying to overthrow a foreign Government or if one is convicted of being a foreign spy. Bottom line do not do anything that will be against the interest of the United States which you swore your allegiance to the day you took the oath when you became a citizen. The Native American's are not the White Settlers who came first in the Mayflower ship from the present day UK/IRELAND to Boston but the Cherokees,Apache,Comanche etc. This Native American's although killed to nearly the point of extinction by the White visitors are the ONLY AUTHENTIC AMERICAN'S and cannot be stripped of their citizenship no matter what they do. Funny as it may sound they are also the only ones who you will NEVER say this America is ours as compared to the Whites and Blacks who once upon a time them or their ancestors were immigrant and the joker of the pack are Naturalized African's who are quick to shout their Americaness when it is not necessary. Don't get me wrong,it is cool to be an American but humility is also called for no matter what passport you carry.

UgoBabe:

stopped reading this foolish post after the first two lines when i saw the tone and direction it was taking,

its always fun to pick and have a laff on nigeria/ nigeria's image, POster clap for yourself 

aS FOR BluMagic, Justdumb, Endmoll, Sapele, and all others that have nothing other to say about  that nigeria other than it is a failed state/ shithole/ etc- clap for yourselves, as you all are sso happy to safely say that from whichever foreign enclave you reside in, i hope you forever experience the 2nd class treatment of low class foreigneres, stoopid people who have no pride,

Blue Magic:

I'm wit u on dat one bro. Nigeria is a shithole & will always continue 2 be 1. If all those Nigerians loved Nigeria so much, they never shld have left Nigeria & why even bother to take up another nationality. I denounced Nigeria d minute I took up American citizenship. Nigeria sucks America Rocks.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Who knows, maybe I could get violation, or killed. God forbid bad things sef.

more people will soon go home since the economy is getting worse everyday.

Prostitution and/or women trafficking is not unique to Nigeria, It occurs in all cultures and races as well. For some reason, using Nigeria as a negative news item seems to sell in foreign climes!

justwise:

What exactly is your point?

Make sure you pay inspection fees if you are bidding at an authorized site. If not, you will jam trouble. And most of all the auction cars aren't as described some come with frame damage. aWhatever you do, stay away from ridesafely,  They bid for you, but if the price is too cheap, the buy the car for themselves, strip some parts, then call you to tell you the insurance company giving out the car didn't approve your bid that you need to add some more,  If your maximum bid is $10000, they try to get the car for 5k and still rip you off. Just be careful when bidding online,  i have a friend's dealership license which allows me to bid at any auction in the US. I advice you ask around for 1 or I can help you bid and ship the car to Nigeria,  Which you can do your self online but we have a bad reputation as Nigerians which makes us hard to trust but all in all, their ignorance play the most part,

i can get you a clean 2009 civic full option for $10k plus 2k shipping, you clear,
2010 is same price as well,

to be honest, buying a pre 2006 car is not always profitable to sell in Nigeria unless you are buy the luxury ones like fx35 etc, if not, by the tiume you buy, ship, clear and try to compete with the ones already in Nigeria, you'll lose,
