Justcash: This is a fraudulent, sponsored story, as it does not even show EVERYONE that attended, especially the leader of the Eti-Osa Heritage Group, the main voice of ALL the opposition (from Epe through Ibeju-Lekki to Eti-Osa) Barrister Adewale Sanni, who engaged the Governor very vigorously, so much that Fashola lost his cool and got personal, raising his voice and protesting petulantly like a tin-pot dictator. Justcash, abi? Is that all you're paid to work for Fashola/Tinubu/LCC on Nairaland? Cash? My friend, there is more at stake here than the few million naira you're been paid. Whatever they're paying you, I can tell you it's not enough. You need to ask for more, because PEOPLE ARE AGGRIEVED, and you only need to look at the Niger Delta to know what can happen when PEOPLE ARE AGGRIEVED. |

When a government decide to build a toll gate there should also be an alternative to not ply the toll gate road. There are lots of villages along this area towards Epe and there is not a single alternate road that leads to Epe. The toll road is not justifiable; it's myopic and endeager development in the area of agriculture. Only a single lane on either side has been added to the existing four lanes and three tow gates is to be erected! common it's never done in any part of the world. If anyone wants to claim that theirs pain to any development then their is also a citizen right. Tell me a single country where you've noticed this type of toll, just one country where theirs no alternate road. How many BRT ply Epe/Ibeju? Should i be compelled to pay tow for going to Epe or go through the waterways? The One, you make a lot of sense. |

Phillip 0906 & Labalaba4; LWKMD! You guys are getting me wrong. I am neither paid nor sponsored to help salvage Fashola's Image (Which is not battered anyway). I support APGA Party and not AC nor PDP. That does not stop me from speaking with my conscience. If all the governors in Nigeria were as pro-developmental as Fashola, Nigeria would be a better place. You can say all you want, but as long as I see Fashola taking progressive actions, I will support him. Yes, he may not have been perfect in the implementation of his action, but it is a huge step in the right direction. It is better than building roads and leaving them without maintenance due to government's inability to cough out money to maintain them. I have to tell you guys that the long term positive effects of these projects are huge. Apart from just keeping the road motorable, other basic facilities like highway lighting, CCTVs for security, beautification, prompt emergency response, some Corporate Social Responsibility measures etc will be of enormous benefit to not only the communities but Lagosians in general. As for you Philip 0906, you keep ranting about my location and familiarity with Lagos and Nigeria, you need to desist because you don't know me and you cannot make emphatic declarations about me like that. My products move across those roads and my structures were also affected by Fashola's actions. I virtually live in Lagos because I stay there as much as I stay in other countries. I drive in Lagos too and will pay heavily for the tolls because I pass through that Lekki-Epe road very much. Stop ranting about me because I know every corner of Lagos/ Nigeria more than you will ever know. If you cannot pay for the tolls, do you need to drive? Won't using an alternative means be better for you? If you have a low paying job and cannot move out of Lagos, is it not better to stay close to where you work? As for the alternative routes you guys are wishing for, you'all must be ready to tolerate further demolition of houses and structures to make such alternative ways. The pain is understandable because this is the starting stage. Nigerians once paid 40,000 Naira to get an MTN sim card. How much is it now? Once the operators start to make some money, the amounts will reduce, and will be convenient for every Lagosian. Well, If Lagos has to be a Mega city, all these stuffs need to be put in place. If Lagos is too difficult for you to live in, then move to Ogun state or other states, where no one cares about how the environment and road look like. If you like what you see around you in Lagos, you gat to pay for it because it was not done out of Charity. |

If we want good and functional infrastructures, we must be ready to pay for it.Nigerian must move with the world and do not be comparing 2010. to the happenings of the 80s All over the world the roads are tolled for the purpose of collecting money to maintain the roads.Classical examples are in USA.In New York, all the bridges like our own 3rd mainland bridge are tolled.For example if you enter new york through George Washinton brige, Holland tunnel, Lincoln tunnel, or any or any other entrance to New york you must pay tolls. In New jersey the state parkway like our own ring road in Nigeria is tolled at every exit sometimes about 3 miles apart.We all see and appreciate these fantastic infrastructures in advance countries and we fall in love with them but it comes with sacrifice.Lagosian lets try to appreciate our able govenor in an effort to improve our standard of living.Nothing comes free as America always say, no free lunch in America. |

Paddylo so How do people play tender. If I want to do business in NIgeria. I really want to do business with Government of state. How do I do that. But I dont like given bribe. How do I apply for tender with the federal and state government. Give address and telephone. We can borrow money here, but you want to know which govt to deal with. Let say I want to deal with the federal govt or state, what are the tenders open to me. |

@Kesley: You don't want to compare 80's to 2010 and yet you compare N/J and N/Y to Lagos. I know and do ply the toll on Turnpike so often when i'm there and there is alternate road. So, tell me if there's no alternate road to the toll on NJ/NY and, if the area is predorminantly occupied by villager who relied most on agricultural produce and fishing. |

ib612: The Fashola Houseboys Club won't answer that. No time in between sucking Fashola's stewpid azz and kissing his balls. Anytime Fashola moves his lips, they climax, these people. You won't get a rise out of them on this one, abi, Paddylo? |

I think people should pay to maintain the roads in Nigeria. Someone said something about starving people but how many starving people drive cars? Seriously it seems it is just people with money aggrieved that they will pay toll fees. You are not forced pay auto insurance yet remember? Let's just hope it's not per kilometer like some countries do it. If the money is going to private company's hands then hell should drop down and consume Fashola and his agencies. But If the money goes to public's pocket, then please give him credit. Even though he didn't completely build the road, it was built by a Lagos state government administration in the past. |

Good day all, I am a final year student of Distance Learning Institute-UNILAG, Business Administration department, and I m writing my final year project "PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AND INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY" the case of Lekki Toll Road. I hv read through points and comments by every intelligent people here, but I think it is high time we do a review on the LEKKI TOLL ROAD PROJECT, for points of peoples views on the success or failure of the project so far. |
