Yeske!: Again, legislative oversight is nothing but asking question and getting clarifications, it's not saying you can not do it or we are shutting you down and till they do, your meaningless article remains redundant and irrelevant.. |

nuclearboy:I'm not here to debate fuel subsidy but I just raised the issue to buttress my point of hypocrisy. By the way, can all those who staged fuel subsidy protest in Lagos be said to be the very poor? Was it the poor that supplied the T-shirts, music and food for the protests? Kerosine is one product that is mostly used by the poor but it has been selling far above the cost fuel (for as much as N150per litre at times) for a very long time. No one seems to be interested in that. Why? Because the middle class and elites have nothing to do with Kerosine. This same ACN e-warriors that are showing us how beautiful a toll plaza is and opposed removal of fuel subsidy by PDP led govt may tomorrow promote fuel subsidy removal by an ACN led govt. That is Nigeria for you, where issues are analysed from the prism of partisan and ethnic sentiments. Anyway, I will say nothing further on this fuel subsidy issue to avoid derailing the thread. 4 Likes |

flexshop: Again, the fact that you pay taxes doesn't mean you shouldn't pay for any infrastructure. There are other services you are enjoying free with your tax money. Fact remains that we have a lot of huge projects in the pipeline and we need money to execute them, money that your tax money can not take care of so instead of borrowing and accumulating debt, we pay for it with our own money by recycling our own money. Many places I used to call home (Californian to be precise) will ask you to vote for bonds to fund projects like highways and bridges and upon completion, they toll you to payback that bond money. They/I voted for the bond measure to build high speed train from Southern Californian to Northern California so it matters not if you pay taxes or not, you are getting charged to get on that train so your double taxation is kind of redundant. Your taxes have limitations and we all must pay extra to take care of the things we need that our tax money can not take care of. Who knows, maybe this money is going to fast track the metro rail to speedy completion, maybe it's going to pay for the 4thMB, maybe it's going to fund Ikorodu road reconstruction. Either way it goes, it's a win win situation for us.. The bridge belongs to the people of Lagos, we own nobody for that bridge and are going to recycle our money to do better things to better our state. Eko o n baje lai lai.. I don't even get this needless headache sef because from what's out there, Lagosians are happy with this bridge, they are happy with tolling, they are even willing to pay more for better infrastructures.. Obviously, they are getting a huge bang with their money so don't cry for the, because they are happy... 3 Likes |

The good thing irrespective of what these haters here are saying is the good and encouraging testimonials of the stakeholders...the users and those that owns properties around the axis that the bridge is serving... If those stakeholders aren't complaining but rather giving good testimonials...why should I bother with those that are not either stakeholders of the bridge nor stakeholders in Lagos.? Am sure the guy that ferries his car daily across the water at Tarzan jetty for a thousand naira one way, and have to do that daily would not understand the argument of these haters here. 3 Likes |

eko ilee:Please read this. http://www.nigeriancurrent.com/news/item/2660-lagos-assembly-suspends-debate-on-lekki-ikoyi-bridge-toll.html Some of the members, while commenting on proposal, wondered why the one kilometre bridge would be tolled, even as they all noted the voluminous nature of the bill which needed time to study. According to Honourable Olusegun Olulade, some things were not clear because of the volume of the document, urging that the tolling of the bridge should be put off for now, while the government be asked to go ahead with the commissioning. Another member, Hon Bisi Yusuf also took note of the huge volume of the bill. He said that “the project was started two years ago and you are bringing the document for urgent consideration and approval, it is not the best. It needs time for examination, so a time frame should be given.” Hon Saka Fafunmi, who also contributed to the debated, said he was not convinced on why tolling should be allowed on the bridge, which is just a kilometre. Besides, he argued that the project was undertaken with Lagos State tax payer’s fund and not through Build Operate and Transfer approach. “I know it was part of Lagos State fund that was used to build the project. Must we always make the people pay for every service we provide,” he queried. Deputy Speaker of the House, Kolawole noted that the request of the government, as claimed in the proposal, was not in line with the 2011 Public-Private Partnership law. 2 Likes |

Yeske!: Sadly for you..your thought is not reality. People have been anxiously waiting to ply the bridge to ease their daily commuting. A friend of mine took less than 5 hours doing two trips in all to move his loads from his present Magodo residence to his newly built place off Admirality rd in Lekki....am sure without that bridge, the best part of Saturday would have been wasted on Ozumba Mbadiwe alone.. Think ...think of the cost/benefit before joining the bandwagon to rubbish the tolling..does it worth it? |
