I lived in Lekki phase 1 for yrs, I moved to The Palm (Shoprite) Area cos I dont see why I should be paying Toll Fee from Lekki Phase 1 to my office in VI. Besides the so called Alternative Route is a single-lane-like strip called New Market Road, crossing through Oniru Private Estate. This New Market road is actually a market with okadas/buses/roadside sellers blocking the road. And you can not access Lekki Phase 1 without driving about 2 kilometers to Elf round about and returning back cos of the fact that we are fenced around (Prison Style). Its so disgusting. I cant even move from my home in VI to Lekki (5 mins drive) without paying cash to and fro ?

This isnt fair, we pay tenement rate and all other state levies apart from the huge mortgages and related issues.

toll gate is good but 3 toll gates is the bad aspect of it

you live in lekki phrase 1, thus I would say u have money. If you want your roads etc to be maintained, then get ready to pay the toll fees

Now if it is 3 toll gates as I suspect, then I agree, it is unfair

Skii:
@Beaf shame on you, you don't even have camaraderie
Look at how loud and all over the place you have been because of just this one incident?

To the main subject matter, I think Lagosians (or i should say the protesters) have gotten it wrong. What they should do is dialogue with the government on how to cut down on the price of the toll or on the number of tolls. Nothing is free anywhere in the world.

There is also an alternate route. New market road. Just that its too thin to accommodate the traffic going in either direction

How I wish this protesters could save their energies for the slowpoke at the centre.

@Truthtela I am with you

so you support 3 toll gates with the same road ?

Eko Ile:
This is obviosly a very good development, how I wish we have these and other forms of investments all over the country. Kudos to the governor for making this happen .

More jobs for the people of enugu and taxes for the state. More governos need to stop acting lazy and start lobbying for these investments.

very well said

nku5:
@truthtela - ppl have the notion that the eti-osa axis is like ikoyi with rich folk everywhere. Its a old community and the fact that tinubu and his company would sign away free access to their home is pure evil

gbammmmmm. u understand.

@POTUT and co I really hope you people are Lagosian.

I would love to explain to you what is going on but it too long for this thread

Just believe me when I say this is not Fashola's doing but Tinubu

Fashola is powerless in Lagos. Trust me when I tell you

The so called toll gate etc is tinubu's handy work. FACT

fashola does not have the power to oppose it because all the HOA and Oba with the elegushi, yeye Iru(Victoria Island) etc were all hand picked by Tiunbu before he left the office

Fashola opposing this view would not take any effect because the these people can impeach him with a click of a finger.

I would urge you to make more research on this politics and How tiunbu has destroyed and still destroying Lagos with puppets.

abeg go rest jare

do you think this is fashola's doing ?

What do you know of Lagos and it's politics

[quote author=onye_ngbu* link=topic=827229.msg9784798#msg9784798 date=1324134493]He actually incited the killings. It was massively televised when he alleged that there has been nocturnal activities and 'proof' of jets moving around electoral material on the eve of the election. He said it when he cast his vote in his village and everybody watched it!

We all know the result of that allegation: hundreds dead and still no proof from your 'honest man' supporting all his inciting claims!

That man belong to the jail and im sure that he might make it soon.[/quote]please and please STOP SAYING THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. It is annoying

When did Buhari incite killing ? and how did he do it ?

So if you onye_ngbu contest and people are bitter about the rigging that took place, it mean it was Buhari that did it ?

come on !!!!

Happy birthday Sir.

Fattyaid:
This isn't a bad idea. Its actually a way forward. We will get there.

way forward ?

chai !!! Nigeria don suffer

I bet things like this are done every other normal day in other counties even Ghana

we are so use to the government incompetency that even if the government do it's job, it is seen as a political achievement.


I am not down rating Fashola but come on, we need to see good roads all over lagos before we can actually say it is the way forward.

oduasolja:
omo nna don see shopping mall.

no u no go live yoruba man to rest .

make all of una move to enugu and leave us alone.

i laff.

Bobo fi won si le

Bliss4Lyfe:
Wow, this is amazing. Enugu is the new Lagos and Abuja. With its hill, I did say a potential Beverly hills.

I tell you my sister

people really need to visit those places. Enugu would be my next stop next year Insha Allah

Good

Imagine the so called Lagos, and oil producing states are not even healthy.

I am ashamed

Kudos to anambra and abia

soreola:
Abeg make we no dey complain ooo. Let`s just continue to push and demand for more more more; jobs, electricity, better roads etc. Like some people have pointed out, many have found jobs through the creation of this mall. Let`s be grateful for what we have and continue to demand more.

grateful that the government is doing it job

is ur boss grateful for doing ur job he is paying u to do

emmatok:
That is a very good project.

Peeps invest in Lagos everyday and shoprite is no difference.

Politicians should stop using every project to get cheap publicity.

Only in Africa we see politician getting cheap publicity for everything, like is not their duty to perform.

Thank you egbon mi

tkb417:
and he has done it. yes/no?

what is your job? to criticise?

and so because he has done his job which he was paid for, we need to be opening threads about it ?

Am I the Governor ?  My job is to open people's eyes to there rights.

armyofone:
so nice to see  good job. glad to know they are bringing western way of shopping to nigeria. it is abt time they stop road side business.

wow! those packaged meat really good. haba, wetin person go do with road side meat sellers and their passing typhoid around in 2012.

now this is what i call modern. they should put hand sanitizer, lysol wipe by the cart. you know some kuku use toilet and no wash hand. we no want epidemic for inside store.

SMH

what is Fashola's job if not doing things like this ?

If people think this is actually a major achievement, then we need to think again

after so many money the Lagos state government is earning, all we hear is mall this, road that

for Fuuccck sake, It is the government job to those things that is why they were elected

It is like working as a cashier and once you are able to add 1 + 1= 2, everyone calls it an achievement  

It is the job of the cashier to know that isn't it ?

same applies to the government aka lagos state

An achieve is when he can make all roads accessible and clean, with good security and PPPs all over Lagos. then we should call it an achievement

Diligence:
Imagine Biafra - 50 years after!

Yeah, such is life

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO link=topic=826279.msg9775164#msg9775164 date=1323997039]Bia, if Imo State is signing agreements with Nigerian Gas Company or anyone else for that matter, they should go with the smartest and craftiest of Lawyers so they're not shortchanged. It's been known that there's huge gas reserves in Imo and Anambra for decades and we're still talking of plans with nothing yet set in stone . Meanwhile poor Imo youths/graduates are roaming the streets searching for jobs that just aren't there. I guess that's the price you pay for being in a warped federation where each constituting unit isn't allowed to develop at its own pace and use resources found within its borders primarily for the good of its people: everything first has to go to a federation account and then you get a bit back (with 13% jara if you're lucky, which you had better be grateful for).

Sometimes i feel i'm the only one in a hurry to see the South East soar to greater heights economically . Our representatives in the legislature, some of our Governors and our Elite don't seem to be in much of a hurry as i would want them to be .[/quote]I am sorry PROUD-IGBO but this is the sort of comment that makes me want to wipe for Nigeria.

Imagine of all the Oil companies only employ SS people what happens to the rest of the country ?

You are here talking of employment of Imo youth as if their are no Lagos youths, Balysea youth etc roaming the streets

We need to think critical here. Is the so called gas reserve only meant for Imo or Nigeria ?

Lets be less selfish and think as a collective group. thanks

emmatok:
You messed up when you introduced tribe to the discussion, next time stick to the issue.



FROM dmainboss

It is now very obvious that those criticizing GEJ here on NL are partisan,  tribal bigots and absolute morons. You have been screaming the man should not remove subsidy, now he says, OK let me consult and see how we can go around it, then you come back to NL and scream he should remove it or he has backed down because he is clueless.

Of course I am not surprised because it is obvious those of you posting here are ACN and CPC members. You do not love Nigeria or seek its good. You are just Yoruba and (some) northern tribal bigots who are not happy GEJ is president just because he is from a minority. From your posts, it is obvious you have no clue what you are talking about but it doesn't matter really because now we know where you stand.

It is a pity though because it will come back and bite you in the behind soon. Obviously, there is nothing you can do about GEJ's presidency because he will go down in history as the best president ever and the man that changed Nigeria forever. You can keep hating till you get ulcer but it wont change a thing.

thank you

dayokanu:
A link to tell you about Pascal Bafyau?

Those were pre-internet days.

Pascal Bafyau and Frank Kokori grounded IBB govt in 1993

i see

dmainboss:
The real issue for me here is how we should go about the fuel subsidy problem. I am a strong advocate for the removal of fuel subsidy. Why? I am in the private sector and I hate government handouts. Secondly, I understand, from the principles of economics, that there is nothing like free money. Money used for subsidy is money that is supposed to serve other very important purposes. Thirdly, the world economies are shaking right now. Europe is on the brink. If Nigeria does not curtail some of these excesses, then we will meet real trouble ahead.

Sorry nwanne but I can see that you are one of those dispora politician

TWO simple question for you and please answer it to the best of your knowledge

What is subsidy, Does it exist ? If yes, then what lead the country to be paying subsidy ? No refinery thus importation of oil right ? If so then why not build refineries Or how are you people thinking ?

WHAT IS ON GROUND TO SUGGEST THAT MONEY GENERATED FROM SUBSIDY WOULD BE USED FOR THOSE OTHER THINGS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ?

I really hope this is not the way the FG is thinking.

Lmao@Jonathan is toooooooooo dulllll!

Chei! NLC igbu'n nmadu [/quote]You dey craze, ur father

I still think we should show some respect to our president. All the insult rained on him would not give him the positive atmosphere to think straight and do the right thing.

so df2006 = dmainboss

Ejo, E gba mi

taimako

Many even carried his coffin around proclaiming his death

egbon DK
