Tolling, taxing, deducting, levying, collecting, ticketing, tariffing ....... Agbero gofmant

One "chance" for real

woodcook:


Can you please list the western nations that toll their roads. Also you should give the minimum wage in those countries in relation to the toll.

junketer:
simple. I live in south africa and i travel a lot inside south africa cus of work. All the roads tarred and pothole free. I was driving from johannesburg to polokwane once and i decided to use gps to find an alternative route cus the N1 freeway is tolled. It turns out that d alternative road (R101) its just about 25km more. Every tolled road in SA has an alternative route.

modath:
Brilliant!!!

Even western nations that are far ahead of Nigeria after taxing income and petrol still collect toll, their roads won't improve otherwise!!

Oh you wailers, especially the ones that probably were still in primary school when we had toll gates , crying and blackmail won't solve it, this will happen!!!

BTW, some of us love the idea of toll gates and are thrilled... A place to chill when driving taya person or tire less or hot wee wee hol person.

There will be
alternative roads as well so that
people can choose.” - Raji Fashola

bejeiodus:
This man just loves to add to the yoke of the poor. He always loves to think every Nigerian is as privileged as he is. From increment in electricity tariffs to payment of tolls on federal roads. Only God knows what further inhumane policy he would come up with next. I always have a good laugh whenever I see some youths tipping Fashola as a future president.

ademusiwa11:
[size=28pt]there is no need to put toll on road. which make the people suffer the more.

State should maintain the highways after they are built. [/size]

Kennydoc:


You would have run GEJ down with your fingers if this idea was initiated by his government. Imagine celebrating toll gates...! I shudder at your reasoning sometimes.
If the idea of tolling our roads was the best, why was it stopped years ago? In a country where citizens struggle to survive on their meagre incomes, somebody is celebrating excess taxation of the people. I seriously SMH for you.

Babacele:
but Fashola always shock skeptics..even with the delay in releasing this budget- the effect of which hypocrites on NL ain't pinning on the cause- SINators , Fashola go still shock una....

obailala:
The proposed 2nd Niger bridge by GEJ will be heavily tolled, and yeah, that was GEJ's idea. I'm sure when that bridge is eventually completed, Jonathanians would wilfully and dubiously erase from their memory, the fact that the tolling idea was from GEJ; I can already foresee how Fashola and Buhari would be fried when that bridge is eventually completed and the toll takes effect. The argument would go like this "GEJ gave us a bridge, Fashola and Buhari put toll gates on it."

erico2k2:

name one western country where govt build roads %100 and toll it?

rusher14:
Nothing wrong with tax and tolls.

Just use the revenue as required.

Welcome to the style of governance of Fashola.
The man is one that always believe that if something must be achieved,the fee for it must be increased(regardless of what you've been paying for it and its actual ability to solve the problem).
This is a man who on assumption of office as a minister swore that until the power consumption tarriff is increased,regular power supply can't be possible. Today(against the directive of the NA and the wish of the consumers) he has increased the tarriff and yet the power supply has gone from bad to all time worst while we still pay the increased tarriff.
His modus operandi is this: He will promise heaven and earth once the people will accept the fee and taxation. Most people will accept it as long as the problem(like bad road or power outage) is fixed. You pay the new fee,he puts up a make belief solution,everybody accepts it and in no distance time it fells back to how bad is used to be but by then we have gotten used to paying the new fee(which ofcourse is shared by him and his masters and cronnies).
The man always run an inhuman policy that seek to impoverish the people further more.
Nigerians,we give you Babatunde Raji Fashola
