There are lot of coward Ipob members who are too ashamed to
publicly associate with Ipob due to the failure of their agitation.
Many usually adopt Yoruba handles to gain sympathy because
their post will be treated with scorn if they dare use their real name
but most of their posts are used for spreading senseless Ipob propaganda.

It doesn't matter if you write a Yoruba thesis, it doesn't change the
fact that you an Ipob supporter and are still suffering from your failed
agitation. There are lot of assimilated Ipob touts in lagos who
can't speak their mother's tongue, I won't be surprised if you are one of them.

A question you will continue to ask yourself is why you fell for the scam of
a coward mentally unbalanced kanu.
Were you under a spell?

Seriously? Have you compared what they are getting from the government too? We pay for our own security, roads, electricity, house everything. What's government giving us? I am an advocate of tax too but the government has not proven to be accountable. Let's have an account of money generated and spent so far. Are we sure we're not going to see things like 500m for website or borehole?

From a reliable source: They said the reason for the change in toll price is to decongest traffic while asking for change, hence making it a round number.#Crazy

They should bring it down to N100 instead if that is their reason which is extremely senseless! !!

I am a tourist to Lagos so I don't mind. Can't see how the mark up will adversely affect folks, its miniscule. I rather like the model of infrastructure funding. What folks should rather demand for is improved services. Follow the money and make sure it is well spent.

Where is this law written?

Tax to end tribalism? How?

Seems you skipped the part where I said at this point we're not sure if we can trust this government to deliver on its promises after collecting tax.

Let the government borrow for infrastructural and economic development and we will be more than glad to pay the tax
Re: Lekki Concession Increases Toll Gate Fare. See New Tariff by Deepfreezer(m): 6:50am On Nov 04, 2017

You can not tax people high without deliverying

How would tax end tribalism? Simple when you earn 100k and pay 40k as tax
You won't go voting your brother all you would seek is who would deliver for you

Thanks for the insult

But how much did you pay as tax last month ?

And average car owner spends 600k a years to repair cars , and 80% of that is caused by bad roads ...if each car owner pays a car tax of 200k a year we would have over 4 trillion a year to maintain our roads ,now we have average of less than 100bn
How do you think our loans would be ?

How much is our current revenue? How much of it is spent on recurrence? How much of is being used productively? You can't ask for more without justifying what you have done with the ones given to you before

What was our last month revenue?

Federal government has a wage bill of 160bn a month , all the state has a combined wage bill of close to 160bn too , plus local governments, say 60bn
You have wage bill of 380bn a month , how much is left , defense, ASUU demands 18bn every month

We won't get 15bn for road maintenance
But we have close to 12 million cars in Nigeria , if each pay 200k a years Thad 4.4trillion for roads alone

Even the devil Would fix our roads with that amount....democracy is not in anywhere efficient when it comes to money

Money agberos collect go to where? How is this wage bill of 380bn helping Nigeria? How much of it does the executive, legislative and judiciary consume? How much of this is spent on allowances and other bonuses? What have they done to the wastages? How come the hospital at aso rock don't have basic medical equipment? What's happening to the allocation?

You want the people to trust a government that has not proven to be trustworthy? This is anti-people. Let the government borrow to fix the roads and electricity and we will pay our tax accordingly. The ordinary citizens are passing through a lot already and if you can't see this then that's terrible. If transport fare is increased, it won't be increased for only those earning 100k and above, there are people earning just about 50k with families and you're asking for more sacrifices. These ones can barely cater for their families.

What sacrifices is government making?

American spends $700bn on defence yet can comfortably say they quick defeat Russia that spends $80bn

Take a look at the top 30 economy in the world compare revenue/gdp then compare that to what we have

What we need is afficient taxing system until we can get upto 30 to 60 trillion as revenue we won't develop the way we want to

Are you trying to argue that Lagos State does not have enough money to maintain roads, are you saying the revenue that the toll gate currently generates is not enough to maintain the road. My brother even if you no dey fear anybody at least make you fear God. Lagosians do not deserve further burden from this Government or any other one. I still maintain that he the governor should block his loopholes and cut his benefactor to size, instead of attacking the poor masses whose votes he claims brought his government to power.
Despite that we pay our taxes (at least i pay mine and religiously ) we still have to pay for water, security, education and every other thing that is the respobsibility of government to provide with the proceeds of our taxes. The state government also gets federal allocation every month, which is more than enough to move lagos state light years ahead of what it is today, but this is africa where nothing works, the only african country that has the similitude of a working system is south africa which is being run by the machines and systems that the white man put in place. It is people that think like you and the governor that put africa in the hardship that is in today.

Oga please this is a serious matter. I just saw the banner this morning. Our income has not increased, why will LASG makes live unbearable for people. Transporters will increase fares and so on. It will have multiplier effects. Not this time of the year sir.
Ara nkan everybody ( Body is hurting everybody)

Maybe you don't understand. The guy just mentioned the serious truth.

Newway, we need to look at the bigger picture here. The LCD guy must be really stupid to even think that will fly. Those guys make stupendous income on daily basis. The volume of vehicles that cross those tolls is extraordinarily astounding but here is the cash, how much is remitted from cash collection from the toll. Those toll collectors don't remit it all under so many excuses. Either car owners refuse to pay or jumping the toll And there is no way LCD can tell the number of vehicles that cross their line in a day. Those cameras are just for beautification and to record mishap not to count cars. So this paints the picture thag they not making enough when indeed, they making more than enough. So many times have I driven pass those toll and my change is not been handed back. So those revenue collectors are actually smiling to the bank.

So what are they trying to do? First, the only way to ensure they get the right figure is if people pick up the e-tags cos by doing that, more people will pay to the company direct using all payment channel available and they will earn more And that's where I have a big problem with them. The e-tag system is inefficient. The way deductions is being done m, you have no clue. You put money one minute and the next minute, they can tell you it's finished And thus cannot pass thru the toll.

So what do they need to do? Why not do either a web app that features the ability to pay, track your payments and notify when you need to recharge rather than waiting till you get to the toll before you will be told whether you have access or not But they will never think of that. Reason is Because of the in-house fraud that thappens.they do and cannot declare real income.

Well, the Second option is the one they resulted to which is increasing fare to cover the gap that the in house fraud creates And Parisians need to fight this with EVERYTHING
