Why Is The Re Opening Of The Lekki Toll Gate Causing A Big Issue by greymiles: 8:03am On Apr 05, 2022
Mixed reactions have trailed the need of reopening of the Lekki toll gate,
Some say it’s because Tinubu needs money, some say apc needs money for re-election and all... but my question is:
Is #200 or #300 toll too much for Someone living in lekki and environs And why do we trivialize every in Lagos with Tinubu is broke, Tinubu is hungry?


Please, if you don’t live in lekki and environs, don’t comment trash

Last time I checked there are hundreds of toll gates in USA,
Why do we like free stuffs in these country

The government is taxing the rich, but it’s the poor people littered on the internet that are crying over it

Nigerians needs to stop sensitizing every issue in Lagos to Tinubu and let Lagos grow!

Simple answer is that Nigerians want 'abroad' standard infrastructure and amenities but they don't want to pay for it. undecided They go abroad and pay for the same services without complaint, but here they want those services but for free. No be JuJu be dat?

Which rate is N200 and N300. You are ignorant.
Vehicles pay as high as N700 for each passage. If you pass to and fro, that's N1400 per vehicle per dag.
Calculate that for a week and Month.
Some vehicles even pass through the tollgate more than 2 times daily.

Lekki toll has claimed lives
Lekki toll CCTV were manipulated to stop recording just when the army started shooting unarmed civilians
Yet, lekki toll gate needs civilians money...
Seyi Tinubu keep harrasing the press coverage of the lekki toll
All they need is civilians money..
So, civilians have the right to where their money is going.
Simple...no toll

No Accountability, no transparency as to how much is made daily and progress as to the aledged debt it was said to be servicing

We have to pay for at the toll gate and it also causes traffic build up. That money that is being paid is no longer justifiable as no stipulated number of years was given to LCC to toil that road.

What is the tolling duration for the road? How many years has LCC tolled now? Why tolling Nigerians to provide basic infrastructure when Nigerians pay taxes without accountability? What is our commonwealth (revenue) supposed to do if not provide for these kind of infrastructure? Is it to pay fat allowances to politicians?

Some of you people know the truth but never want to admit it. It's low of you to compare the basic road in Lekki to what obtains abroad.

You that’s passing through there and driving over the dead’s blood every time, are being sensitive?
To show your frustration, you guys should have just abandon the road as a whole to honor the dead

To understand you right, are you saying road are not meant to be tolled because we pay taxes?
And last time I checked there’s a toll free road that passes through abiodun oniru road, why are you guys not wanting to pass through there?

You forgot to mention that there are even alternative routes that don't require paying a dime. In other words, it's not a must to use the tolled roads, there are alternative routes for you if you are against it.

Fashole used 1 million dollars to do website

750k dollars for borehole

Looted countless millions as did jagaban

If they didn't steal so much we should have 10 link bridges, 4th and 5th mainland bridges, lekki airport and seaport by now

But busy stealing and giving the money to their side hoes and alleged side hoes like abudu

Thunder faya all of their papa....respectfully

Does your company operate in lekki and does your company driver know there are alternate roads if you don’t want to pay toll fee?

There is one OJO DANIEL OLADIMEJI who has been dishing out fake bet slip. They edited them. I found the slip which he posted today and I want you to look at the team and the scorelines in both slip.

He is operating with multiple Numbers and names but his name is OJO DANIEL OLADIMEJI.

He uses different antics to scheme money from people. DO NOT PAY HIM ANY MONEY because he is a FRAUD and Schemer

Lol. If I work with LCC and I’m worried about my job, is it a bad thing? There are lots of workers at LCC, dont they have family to feed?
And the road is a Heavy traffic Highway system road and not a residential pathway... roads like Oniru road are what you call residential pathways and it’s a toll free road to link up the Lekki epe road

If you live in lekki phase 1, where you probably pay thousands of naira on service charges, #200 will not be the issue and if you’re cash strapped, there are alternative roads you can pass na

My card even has a lot of money trapped in it , it's not about money but ethics at this point, you can't toll a road you didn't fund or have not improved , that's now extortion ..what happened to my former card that has so much money in it ?
