My dear I'm tired. I have stated it here over again and again that I don't identify as Igbo. Why can't they respect that and let me be?

The best approach is simply to ignore anyone that writes nonsense and report anyone that is abusive. That's all. Nobody can make you be what you are not, they can only state their opinions and that's where it ends.

This was the beginning.

On two Tuesdays and Thursdays in July 2019, Governor Sanwoolu declared that passage through the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge toll plaza would be free of charge during rush hour. This was part of an experiment to figure out how traffic would flow when motorists do not have to wait for change.

Sanwo-olu Declares Another Free Passage At Lekki, Ikoyi Toll Plazas On Wednesday

This cashless policy is the result of that experiment.

I guess they were overwhelmed by the number of vehicles without e-tag or card.

naptu2:
I was right. This is exactly what I said would happen with the vouchers (we've already had this system on the bridge for a long time, but it doesn't exist on the expressway).

You can buy either the prepaid cards or vouchers at our customer service centres at any of our toll plazas or from our Roving Toll Collectors in the lanes on the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza.
My only problem now is that the scanners at the bridge are a little slow. I don't need to slow down at the expressway. The scanner can read my e-tag while I'm doing 40kmph, but the scanners on the bridge often need me to come to a complete stop before they can read my e-tag. I once paid cash because it couldn't read my e-tag.

After my workout this morning.

naptu2:
I went to the bridge a bit late today because I was working on something and it gave me a chance to see the new system in action. I now know what those people on foot were applying for. They don't only sell vouchers, they are human billboards!

There were a lot of them on the bridge at daybreak. Some of them were standing in between the lanes and there were a lot of them on the sidewalk. Their faces were painted and there were posters attached to their bodies. They were educating motorists about the new policy and selling vouchers.

There were lots of mobile policemen and Man O' War officials at the foot of the bridge on the Lekki side. They were initially turning away people that did not have e-tag stickers (that was before daybreak), but they later let them through (after daybreak).

There were no Man O' War officials or mobile policemen at the Ikoyi end of the bridge, just the usual RRS policemen who were not getting involved in what was going on.

The weather was absolutely perfect.

I went back to the bridge a while ago. The queue of cars outside the LCC office is back. Some of the cars are parked at Diamond Bank, while others are parked as far away as Olateju Crescent. I overheard a man at the Diamond Bank car park angrily telling an LCC agent, "I paid through my bank".

There are a few more policemen on the bridge and (I was right) there are LCC agents selling vouchers at the foot of the bridge.

LCC has set up canopies and chairs in its compound and I assume that they are registering people for e-tags and swiftpass cards under the canopies.

There's no traffic jam on the bridge.

They must have started. I hear that the commissioner of transportation and the LCC MD are now at the bridge. I'll probably go back there soon.
