I don't expect the news of toll gates to please everyone. I'm fully in support of toll gates. It is very necessary

How is it necessary?

asuustrike2009:
The country is hard then someone wakes up to say he wants to implement road tax that was abolished years ago as a result of similar issue with that of Lekki toll gate. That's how they suggested the increase of VAT from 5% to 15% which concerning the side effect. It will be hypocritical for a government to kick against subsidy during previous government and support it now and same government introduce policy without looking at the side effect. for the benefit of thou, I was against subsidy removal

We still pay rd tax.it's just not called rd tax.check your car papers.

Fawklicant:
There's hardly anywhere in tne world I know where govt concessons roads it already built to a private entity. What they do is they ask you to build entirely new roads with shorter routes or new roads linking new communities and then you toll only after you have completed the construction. When our govt imports foreign ideas, they tend to twist it to serve themselves, because the average Nigerian hardly knows better.

Thus is very correct. I hope guys would see this.people are already no screaming great etc.How can U toll an existing rd built by govt?what happened to the taxes paid by motorist plying the rd.The one sure tax everyone pays if they have a car in Nigeria is Rd Tax if you do not pay you are at the mercy of law enforcement agents on the road.

Abeg this TOLL IS INCONCLUSIVE !!!

@erico2k2, Hey buddy, why the rigmarole on the same junkie news, i think i've heared you the first time. It is an association of friends who come together for groupie. A far less inferior awards than you guyz painted it to be. No lie only truth!

Noted mate.

lookandlaff:
actually their infrastructure is actually quite developed and good, it's just that the socialist mentality ultimately cripples your economy

well which one amongst the western world never started as socialist, all of them did.Then they migrated to capitalism .
The fact is Nigeria needs to find its foot.I don't think the kind of leaders we have have that Energy to drive us forward, they are all interested in their pockets only.Look at a newly appointed Minister ,instead of concentrating on improving our federal rds, he wants to tax them, waht happened to the Direct labour initiatives.in teh UK, Rd tax are used to fix rd not toll tax.Question, what happened to all the Rd tax paid in Nigeria by motorist

lookandlaff:
Not a good example then because they are subsidizing fuel at a cost to their economy,not the sort of example we want to follow. It's ok if you can afford it but primarily government should be in the business of infrastructure not subsidizing consumption.

what else do they have to help their own people? nothing,

lookandlaff:
How's Venezuela's economy doing? Last time I checked they were a basket case and have always been a basket case as far as I can remember

;DT true I agree, I was only referencing them cos of the fuel price.

Edoblakky:
This is what happens when square pegs are fitted on round holes!

In saner climes, roads are built first before they are tolled. Look at the lekki-Epe toll, the road has not been done half-way yet it's already being tolled. And that is exactly what Fashola intends to do.
Money from tolls is used to maintain the already built roads.
Moreover, not all sane countries have tolls. Here in Canada, I'm yet to see a toll gate.
In the US, where there are tolls, the alternative roads are equally good and nearby but with traffic lights while the toll roads mostly are free from traffic lights.

In my opinion, toll gates should come after complete road construction!

Thank you very much, let me add a bit, I have seen people using the word SANE, look the western countries do not toll roads cos of maintance cost alone, the Toll roads always serve as a quicker route I have used teh M60 to manchester frm birmingham as an example, it cuts your journey by an hour plus but if you want to go the long way its up to you, in wales on the M4 there is a toll going into chepstow but free to come back, this toll was there cos of the bridge built by PP,(private partnership) also there is teh Datford crossing,if you check all these rds I mentioned they are all optional,its a choice if you want to use it or not.SO if a govt tools the only rd that leads into a city then that govt is selfish and wicked.What happened to the Road tax paid in Nigeria by motorist

lookandlaff:
I agree with you, infact I think petrol is too cheap. people will be more efficient in their journeys if petrol cost more, drivers would speed less if petrol cost more (you burn disproportionately more petrol above a certain speed), government will have more money for projects that truly benefir the masses instead of enriching a cabal if they removed subsidy. Everybody seems to be in favour of subsidy removal except Buhari, I think he's still stuck in the old school mentality on that aspect.

have you checked teh cost of petrol to other countries of the world, just to give you a tip Venezuela, it cost $1 to fill your tank ie approx 50 ltrs

menabadoo:
do they have bad roads abroad?

yes they do

adeyemi2015:
We shouldn't play politics with every national issue pls! Re-introduction of Tolls should be a welcome idea!
The most important thing is; ensuring the proper management of funds generated through the Tolls as well as timely maintenance of the Country's Highways!

I'm sure if you have to ply that rd to n fro wrk Mon to Fri ur tune of words would be diff. When U say sane could try n check.the govt of these countries they don't invest their capital it's usually private coy who construct and toll the rd. Their tolling usually has a time scale. The govt monitors it's activities.good example is the M60 to Manchester.

Haba Unu still dey drag this pry school stuff.na English confuse una so.diplomatic circle is nit n organization. It's like saying a circle of friends.In other words this means a group of diplomats saw it fit enough to honour GEJ..example of a diplomat Tony Blair and Bill Clinton .UN embasadors. etc.

arresa:
You asked if I googled and I said yes and that no such thing exists on the internet.

Have you proved me wrong? No.

Where were you coming from really? Google World diplomatic circle and post the link here for us to see.

You still missing the point.let my illustrate. A circle of mechanical engineers invited you to london to give you an award for your contribution towards engineering. Would U find anything as circle of Engineers on Google in a form of definitive meaning??

elmajor:
Sorry, I don't mean any harm. I wouldn't call that excavator an invention cuz it's been invented already. But don't u think Fidellis Nwachukwu's ability to build an excavator is a welcome development? This is one of the equipment Nigeria import at a very high cost. If someone can construct such equipment in Nigeria, wouldn't it save us some dollars? If Fidellis Nwachukwu is encouraged, more construction and probably, inventions will come up. I believe creativity starts with imitating, then invention. So, building excavators in Nigeria is not out of order; we need the equipment at least, for drainage.

I'm an Engineer and I know also fre people on here are.now if this realy loads and offloads the there is a posibility if an invention. Might be by mistake but there is.I would like to draw our attention to the Hydrolic pumps.There are vast rooms for invention. I'm lucky to have worked for a coy in the past called HFS. They maintain diff types of Hydrolic fleets.They are always researching the next machine to fit their pumps.Even modern day grabs use Hydrolic same as craines.

hausa man did, now igbo man, only yoruba man is missing. WHY?

They are politicians what's matta U eh?? Lolo

salissmg:
Thes is not creativity or innovation. This a copy right of other countries innovation.pls come up with a new idea that can support our local economy with less cost and high quality material,but u enduP bringing a direct prototype of something that is well known to all pple not even changine the design of how the machine is. No wonder high rate of piracy always come from igbo land, is a big shame on all igbo pple and also this a new method of robbery. Demand more than twelve million to make it operational,so how much the citizine will have to wait to aquire huge amount to buy this machine. Jare better comeup with an idea that the govnment may think of building it.

Why the hate bro.all plants look same cos they all work in same principle.hydrolics and pumps

What is so difficult for the Nigeria zoo to copy technologies, create a unique design and export?
Aba and Nnewi are probably the only places in Nigeria with a bit of experience in reverse engineering.
Hopeless Nigerian state turning giants into liliputians.

Bro it's same as saying circle of friends. It's not an organization or Agency.it's circle of people with comon interest. If U ask me it's not a big deal.

Nellybii:
You haven't made any points here you are just ranting. This administration is six months old and you idiots have not even given them an opportunity to settle down. Always praying for PMB to fail so you can be happy. You maggots forgot that if he fails it will affect everybody including you. May thunder fire the people wishing PMB to fail. May failure be their portion Amin

May ur world be ruled by the likes of PMB.say Amen.
