King44:There is no money to fix the roads, they have to be tolled, or you are comfortable with all those articulated trucks, mostly Dangote, plying the Federal roads up and down the country without paying any form of road use tax? The roads will be managed by private entities, you and your friends can go and register a company and bid for a highway linking your Local Government. It is an opportunity to develop infrastructure. |

baby124: Yes toll gates are normal thing world over even here in Chicago but take a moment and think the injustice of the plan why would a zone with only five states, with the worst federal roads, zone with the smallest landmass that a state like Niger state is bigger than the whole Southeast zone will get the highest number of gates, more than 19 northern states combined why wouldn't they complain. What kind of injustice is that, are Southeasterners exempt from paying taxes? the same taxes the northeast, northwest, northcentral, southwest and south-south are paying, are they not the same in the southeast? Please furnish me with the total length of federal roads in each zone and the total length of the 19 northern states that will enable us to determine if their complaints are justified or not. |

Plead:You are an idiot !!! People have the right to resist and reject exploitation. And for your information, this Man represents his people in the federal government, and he has spoken the minds of the people he represents. But alas, scumbags like you would rather prefer to be dictatorial. I think you represent the federal government ? Come and install the toll gates,since that is the federal government presence you want give the east. Wickedness and hatred will send your likes to an early grave. |
Re: Chukwuma Umeoji Rejects Toll Gates In South East by baby124: 5:52pm On Oct 10, 2019 |
jamjo:To be honest I don’t expect more than 36 toll gates nationwide and maybe one gate per zone. Federal government has no business maintaining roads within states except the federal capital so they really should not be erecting tolls within the states. Nigeria has misused her wealth so I don’t think we are as rich as we are supposed to be. That is why the price of taxes and tolls has to be paid. When we begin to fight for justice and do what is right then maybe all these things will not be necessary. A few people in this country have brought us to our knees. If the FG does not think of fast ways to generate revenue then we are in big trouble at the price of oil. |

Your foolishness is beyond measure. What is the relationship between Igbo businesses men and toll gate? A zone with the least landmass, roads and federal presence wants to be punished with 56 toll gates because Buhari is president. What will kill Nigeria is its bigotry towards Igbos. Untill they realize that Igbos are important in Nigeria, this country will keep being Trump's perfect description of Africa as a SHITHOLE.[color=#990000][/color] PureFace1: |

Re: Chukwuma Umeoji Rejects Toll Gates In South East by chijioke17(m): 6:44pm On Oct 10, 2019 |
baby124:I do not totally agree with you. There are trunk a (fg), trunk b(state) and trunk c( lg) roads in nigeria. Haven't you seen news where lagos state asks for permission to repair or upgrade fg roads, or where fg told states not to expect reimbursement for constructing fg roads?. The fg or trunk a roads are the responsibility of the fg, but due to the hardship it metes on people in that state, the sg decides to fix those roads. So when you say fg has no business maintaining roads, I disagree. The lagos Ibadan expressway, the benin ore expressway,and any interstate road are the responsibility of the fg. That being said, you would realise that there has been conspicuous negligence of the se interstate roads. If you've gone through owerri to ph, you would realise how bad things are. Now imagine with the humongous traffic on that road, they ignore it and site a toll gate on that axis. Now, imagine roads you neglected, even with the taxes generated from that region, and then the government is looking inwards to generate cash, and they suddenly remembered those regions and plan huge toll gates on that region when compared to other regions of larger landmass. If you were to be from that region, wouldn't you cry foul. I dont believe you are a tribal bigot,I believe you are a rational thinker. Would you be okay with it if nepa that has neglected your area for years, all of a sudden come and say they want to increase the tariff plan of your area? |

Re: Chukwuma Umeoji Rejects Toll Gates In South East by baby124: 6:52pm On Oct 10, 2019 |
chijioke17:i know FG owns roads within states but they really have no business holding on to those roads because they are incapable of maintaining them. As for the express ways, FG is obviously stranded and desperate so how do you think they will raise money to build those roads? I say we give it a chance and let’s see what they do with it. The works budget was highest and I hope they have a plan for all unmotorable roads. Also, the works Minister is on social media. If there are any federal roads neglected, call him out on it! If NEPA increases my fare at the same time ensures that I have steady light as a result of the increase then no problem. I have never seen tolls anywhere in the world with fees that are significant though. |
Re: Chukwuma Umeoji Rejects Toll Gates In South East by baby124: 6:55pm On Oct 10, 2019 |
chijioke17:The rumour of 56 toll gates sounds outrageous and I agree with you on finding out soon. FG needs to do better with sanitizing the public on their plans with these tolls. |
Re: Chukwuma Umeoji Rejects Toll Gates In South East by Nobody: 7:00pm On Oct 10, 2019 |
All legislators from the SouthEast regardless of party affiliations should oppose toll roads in the zone. This is classic taxation without representation. The zone with the least federal presence and yet contributes so much revenue to the federal government than most of the other favored states in this concocted, lopsided union called Nigeria should not be burdened again with the expense of building infrastructures in other parts of the country. This act by the government is a bridge too far in its discriminatory policies against the people of southeast. . The people MUST speak up and rally against this Aso Rock brigandage. Buhari and his cohorts have taken more than enough and discriminated against the Igbos beyond measures that any Igbo person that supports this old dirty bastard is a TRAITOR to his/her people. Enough said! |
