Dont blame em...It's a cable stayed bridge

HNosegbe: Nigerians will never take time to read and understand a story before commenting.

No wonder people fail English comprehension in WAEC.

nous: Gosh, many people have comprehension problem (that is what happens when your objectivity is blinded). See the way they are castigating the FG as if it was the FG that sued the Lagos state government.
THE FG IS ALSO A DEFENDANT IN THE CASE.
This is not a FG vs LG case.
People please read with understanding.

Lagos state gov saw the need to construct a bridge on a federal waterway to ease the traffic in the state, built the bridge and tolled the bridge after completion.
Lagosians have the option to either use the longer existing route freely or use the shorter newly constructed route.

Already, Lagos gov has successfully reduced the traffic on the old route, such that citizens that don't care about the tolling of the new bridge won't pass the old one, and the fact that many Lagosians are always in haste means many will go for the tolled bridge, leaving the old for the common Lagosians. Thereby splitting the traffic.

What has the federal government been doing all these years that it was obvious that a bridge is needed on that waterway to ease traffic?
If the federal government had constructed the bridge, will the Lagos state gov go ahead to toll the bridge?

Looks like the federal government is discouraging the state government in taking up responsibilities that they(fg) are incompetent of.

The FG shouldn't have mentioned anything related to the bridge, because it is their incompetent @ss that Lagos government is saving.

No sane human will pass through or see the bridge and won't appreciate the brain behind it. In short the Federal government is envious of Lagos state.

KINGwax: u shld ask why england, whom her citizens pay as much as 40% in tax still pay tolls for bridges.
Most times u guys talk without reasoning!

The simple reason for tollin is

1. To discourage congestion on the new bridge

2. Free space for the old lane

3. Collect more cash from the rich who are not complaing anyway

4. Use the same cash to provide free amenities for u poor Id!ots that evade taxes and still want free things!!!

docjuli: Ok, FG should refund LASG and start the toll-collection. So sad.
By the way, LASG we need more bridges don't mind FG.

yang:

There is something called Nigerian Inland Waterways Act. Lagos people and their street Tollgates. . . Why do u people bother to pay tax again.
Smh

chidindufrank: u be super educated illiterate. Read the report again. Frog brain.

yorke1:


Don't mind those poor people. All they want is free things forgetting that even in Freetown nothing is free.

oxford: Lagos is the only place in the world where a residential road is tolled.
Also the only place where tolling is on while road construction is stil WIP.
The only place where the firm collecting the toll is not accountable to the govt, public or anyone.

The question is can u build a house on another man's land and ask him for rent. If we are to pay toll for every public amenities, then whats is the use of our taxes.
With 21 billion, is fashola/tinubu berate of ideas on what to do with such money....? It could have been invested in the state water project, or the light rail project or housing scheme. 21 billion for a small bridge......well, this lagos

wasiudvd: Were mani FG eleyi ke! So the bridge should be removed or the toll fee should stop? Why can't FG refund the cost of constructing the bridge and stop the tolling? They better call kung-lao to include that in the money he want to borrow fron liu-kang.
Can't just wait for that 2015.
