I see your point but Lekki is an expensive area and as such the people that live there are the high and might of the society.

In recent years, more people have being moving their and as such the toll gate is a form of deterring people from moving there.

Lagos state is losing land fast and at the current level of urbanisation, it does not take a prophet to know that within 50 years, there would be no land left in Lagos.

Look at it as a form of tax basically.

But I want to make it clear, 3 toll gates is pushing it. I would rather it is just 1 toll gate.

oche_ejemb:

To suggest that everyone that lives in Lekki is rich is ignorant, have you never been there? The whole area is as large and as diverse as any other place in Lagos, the rich, the poor and those floating in the middle, not everone that lives there owns a house there, heck therr are slums there too, i honestly think the best solution is that all residents of lekki be allowed to pay severly discounted rates,

What sorta stvpid question is this and what do you hope to gain by asking this sorta silly question    . . . Guy make you rearrange bo !



Yes, getting beaten by political thugs cos they were not policemen by his accounts, is part of the consequences of protesting against a government all over the world . . . . . and the police even added cover for their thuggery damn    !!

let me hear people claim that the police is soly answerable to the F.G only . . .


So in the context of this protest and my quoted post . .the PDP and the ACN were actually colluding to harass the peaceful protesters . . Good , i now understand your point.

Political thugs ? this is new

I thought it was mopol and the police force. maybe you can upload a pic to confirm it was thugs and not the authority

emmatok:

Lekki is not an expensive area, those estate are filled with empty Mansions.

70% of Lekki residence live outside those estates in Villages.

You cannot compare Sand filled Lekki to VI, Ikoyi, GRA, Ilupeju and Antony .

Skii:
@kobojunkie,
people in Lekki are comfortable what the outsiders or less comfortable would term as rich. I live there

I support the toll. Nothing in this life is free. Only that two toll gates at the extreme ends of the length of the road but at a reasonably lower cost of say N50

Political thugs ? this is new

Kobojunkie:

[b] I happen to have a friend who lives in Lekki, in a face to face, in one of those villages, and he certainly would think you a grand- eejit for that statement you have above that people in Lekki are comfortable. [/b]ROFLMAO!!! Even I wouldn't make such an arrogant statement of the people who live in my city here.




So, you mean because I am against the government's handling of this particular issue means I am against tolling, and possibly anti-development? WOW . . . .  and all the toll I gladly paid this week, travelling to-and-fro indiana(and loving the fact that I did not have to slow down to even 70 mph, thanks to electronic tolling) was for what??

Quit this aimless game and watch STV news by 10pm . .  .  i have giving you a reference to watch . .so don't come here asking me for pics again . . that was another silly question from you again . .

alj_harem:

does your friend use a car in that village ?

Skii:

Point of correction, the "RICH" as is being mentioned refers to LEKKI PHASE ONE RESIDENTS, not the generality of LEKKI

Kobojunkie:

Dude, learn when to stop with the ignorant ramblings.

Kobojunkie:

The world in LEKKI does not start and end with the rich in Phase I.

alj_harem:


Yes I know. but those that would be using the toll gates are the working class people isn't it majorly in lekki phase 1 ?

Those living in the villages can be exampled from the toll gate.

Unless you want to tell me that his assailant wearing a native was part of the Lagos state authority

emmatok:

How will that happen.

[size=13pt]Will put a mark on their forehead differentiating the rich from poor.?
[/size]
For your information most working class Lekki residence live in those villages.

lekki phase 1 and other estates are filled with money bags and not salary earners.

TRUTHTELA:

@ eros, that will be the mistake of your life. COS, they have 24 hrs MOPOL protection on that TOLL PLAZA. Lol, Govt is alwaz one step ahead of you guyz.

eros:

You think so. Just wait and see what happens. There are those of us who love to call the govt. bluff. Afterall, who is govt. bloody animals we elected into power to protect our interests, but have turned against us to exploit, maim and kill.

alj_harem:

If they are indigenes of those villages and are poor and it so happens that they "have cars"( poor having cars)

then they can issue a special exempted from the toll by giving them a from a sticker for them to place on the front screen of their cars.

the working class living in those villages and have cars can pay the ONE toll gate as I suggested initially.
