you think its means you are, patriotic, hehehe, Nigeria has not reached the stage of unnecessary taxation, fix the infrastructures first, fashola is just an elitist, when 70% of your income start going for taxation that's when Your eyes will be open. Nigeria is not Britain

Fashola, all over the world you only toll new roads. You do not collect taxes from people to build roads and ask them to pay to use the roads.
I have no problem with you tolling your new or yet to be commenced Calabar Funtua road as soon as you complete it, but tolling Lagos-Ibadan-Ore-Onitsha-PortHarcourt road built by Oyinbo is not tainable. Why must the people always "pay a little"? When is government going to be taking responsibility for herself? For example, the Lagos-Ibadan-Ore-Beni-Asaba-Onitsha-etc is a trans-Africa road (Mombasa-Lagos-Highway), running all the way from Dakar in Senegal to Mombassa in Kenya, where else do you have tolls other than Nigeria

I send my children to private school, because government schools have no quality teachers
I provide my electricty because, as governor for 8 years you could not give light to your state, rather blaming FG
I sank my borehole because as governor for 8 years, you could not supply portable water to the state
I excavated the gutter on my street because you could not build street roads nor provide drainage
I pay monthly fee for refuse collection, a duty that is generally a government responsibility world-over
I pave my street road because for 8 years as governor you did not care, rather planting flowers at my round about
I pay private security guard on my street because as governor for 8 years you could not provide security
I paid 27% of my salary to Lagos State as tax, yet I got no correct tax clearance certificate for same amount because one "Alpha-Beta" is in charge of the process
I I pay toll on Lekki road because my governor concessioned the service to his friends and bond me in for 15 years without option
I pay 5% VAT on all my purchases, yet government cannot tell me what they are doing with the money

Now you want to charge me toll for passing the road built with my taxes, years before you ever thought of going into government. What have you done with all my annual vehicle licence fee, MOT fee, advert fees, radio fees, road worthiness, etc?

PLEASE, OGA FASHOLA, GO BUILD NEW ROADS AND TOLL THEM, LEAVE THE ONES BUILT BY COLONIAL MASTERS!!! IF YOU CANNOT MANAGE THE OFFICES BUHARI HAS SADDLED YOU WITH, KINDLY RESIGN. IT IS NOT BY FORCE TO BE MINISTER.



The man was talking about PPP roads he's suggesting as the way forward to speed up road and highway infrastructures...

Though people may feel the burden of paying toll gates but it comes with economic benefits such as,adequate maintenance of roads,smooth journey,safety for the commuters,job creations through maintenance e.t.c these benefits worth paying for.
This where you get it wrong, All road users plus vehicle owners already pay for all what you just mentioned.Can I ask do you have a car? I dont mean this in a patronizing way, cos if you do check your car documents,I mean teh ones you renew yearly, see if one of them is not tax for using the rd.Now if you are a commercial vehicle owner, you pay more than enough tax to use the roads in form of stickers and tickets.Nigeria is one hell of a country with multiple taxation.So as you can see,Nigerians pay more than enough for govt to do all that you listed.If not for wicked leaders we have.

Hmmm,all nigeria roads are in poor state,and this is simply because of lack of maintenance. Fg most times abandoned roads after construction as they found it very difficult to maintain due to the fact that those roads were not tolled. how do you expect fg to maintain roads? With what money?

hahaha, your brain needs to be washed with hcl, for believing that Nigeria does not have money to maintain her roads other than tolls, how many of inter State roads are paved, that you intend to fix toll gate. i don't blame you, you were hynotized with changi tales and you believe them. what has been done with the taxes paid so Far, go and do your research on revenue from taxation.

Fashola Vs Akpabio



https://www.nairaland.com/2322688/fashola-vs-akpabio-updated-projects


^^^^^^Your shame is inside the above thread.

Akpabio's projects didn't even fill 1 full NL page..


After 8 years in office and the largest state budget in Nigeria, akpabio completed less than 5 projects.

1 cinema

1 library

1 football field

1 uncompleted hospital

A few roads and flyover bridge in uyo.


Please keep quiet..

I don't have to do any research. Fg won't need to borrow if they have sufficient funds to run the economy. There are many projects to finance. Inter state roads need to service theirselves through toll gates. To me,Fg is not getting enough through taxation. We need capital projects!!!!

Fashola built 15 water works, show us just 1 akpabio built.

Fashola built 30 skills centers, show us just 1 built by akpabio.

Fashola built 7 health centers, show us 1 built by akpabio.

Fashola built many hospitals, always akpabio did not build any.

Fashola built the best bridge in Nigeria, akoabio did not build any...

Well every sane country has tolls. It will also limit the criminals that travel from place to place to rob for Christmas. When they think about the fare, they will go and find better work. Plus where is the money for taking care of the roads or building? Every state should have toll. Though the toll should not be an outrageous amount and there should be alternative route. I also think the road networks should be reviewed. For a country like Nigeria, going by road shouldn't take as long as it does. I don't think we are using a good or efficient road network as of now.

So gentleman, u think because of #100 or #200 fare, criminals would stop robbing

Biko weren't dey toll gates during d 80s?

Point of correction, Akpabio built a high-class hospital (i.e. Akwa Ibom Specialist Hospital) in Uyo, and a world-class stadium in his state when he was governor.

It's easy, if you don't want the development tolling of roads would bring, just head to the remotest villages with your bikes or horses. Atlanta north buckhead toll collection just ended last October as a campaign promise from Nathan Deal after 20years. The toll road contributed to the economic growth of Atlanta.
