This story is far from Gold digging... This Black Americans in America seems to think that they are very smart, especially when they assume they are pretty. A Medical Doctor, giving you is all, that guy is over $100,000usd = #15 Million Naira richer annually. He could have just pay for sex from every and any corner in America, sex na like hand shake for this place. No cultural value, a nation where women with another man's pregnancy goes out there to lay with another man with it. If you ask me, the Gold digger here is this woman... For Christ sake, this guy already got his command, his swag before he met this Akata trouble trouble lady. He has been dating her years before that marriage certificate was issued. Why didn't she give a green light for Marriage if she is not among one of those ladies whose duty is to reap where they have not sown? An Igbo man showering you with gifts, taking care of you, paying bills for you. In fact he met you in the American system and took you out, made a positive impact in you and you dare have the guts to come to a Nigerian forum to castigate yet another one Nigerian again.

For all those who don't know what we are worth, I will tell you today. There are no men like Nigerian men anywhere in the world.... Especially in the States... If you don't live in America, you won't understand the attitude, the psychology of this women here. She only came to tell you this sweet talk everyone here to drew sympathy to herself. You know He is married now, leave him alone. Na our Son, we nor dey reject our children, come rain, come sun. Doctors are hot cake in America, you ungrateful lazy ass Akata. Mtscheewww.

The Lagos State Government has unveiled a two-way road newly constructed to serve as an alternative route to Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe-Eti-Osa Expressway, which is being developed by Lekki Concession Company (LCC).

The state government also said the road was designed as an alternative for those who might not want to use the plaza.

This came Wednesday as the LCC, concessionaire of the Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe-Eti-Osa expressway, announced that it had set December 16 to start toll collection on the second toll plaza (otherwise known as Conversation Plaza) constructed along the Lekki-Epe corridor, which covers a distance of 49.36 kilometres.

But Special Adviser on Public Private Partnership (PPP), Mr. Ayo Gbeleyi, while inspecting the alternative road alongside other state government officials, explained that the road was not just an alternative route for motorists who are not willing to pay toll at Conservation Plaza, a second toll plaza built about 10 kilometres away from Admiralty Plaza.

Gbeleye, while inspecting the route which starts from Chevron Drive and ends at Oluwanisola Estate, alongside the Managing Director of Metropolitan Construction Company, Mr. Carlos Franji and an Executive, Mr. Tony Fagbuaro among others, assured the people along the Lekki-Epe corridor that the state government would not force toll payment on them, a reason he linked to the administration of Governor Babatunde Fashola’s commitment to completing the alternative road before toll collection commences.

He added that the alternative route was newly designed to accommodate such infrastructure as street lights, comprehensive drainage system, dual side walk as well as detailed road signs, which the special adviser, said were put in place to ensure safety and security of lives and properties along the route.

Aside from facilities designed with the road, the special adviser noted that the state government would deploy both security and traffic operatives “to constantly patrol the road in order to ensure that motorist do not encounter any difficulty while driving because the road is sited in an area with good vegetation area.”

“As the uptake in population growth, the road will get busy. The opening is a temporary opening. But by next Sunday, every construction work on the road would have been completed. At that time, the road will no longer be lonely as motorist would ply the road constantly. Before now, there was no access to the community.

“But the managing director added that was constructed not only to provide alternative route for motorist, but also “to provide accessible road for residents of the community within the axis where the toll plaza were constructed. We have designed the road to be the alternative road for the second toll plaza,” he said.

He gave details of the alternative road, which he said, was constructed the road “to have a 90 degree angle. This angle would aid easy maneuvring of vehicles on the road including turning. We have constructed drainage and walkways, streetlights to aid visibility at night and suit the required standard of the state government.”

According to him, the road was design to serve the residents for at least 30 years. It is a very good road constructed with the intention of giving residents of the state easy movement in and around the axis. The route was constructed for motorist who may not want to pass through the toll plaza. It will serve as a bypass.

@All Nairalanders who curse and insult Fashola... I want to believe that there is no Nigerian in Diaspora among those clicks... I live in Texas, City of Irving in Dallas County. I can boldly say that, the difference between Lagos and Texas... Is not so much.. Because, in Texas.. Most of the High Ways has Tolls. The difference is that, the officials in charge which is refer to as the City don't stop you to pay daily as you go through the Tolls. What they do, is refer to as advance Toll fee collection. The camera's on the Toll whatever takes snaps your number plate and the Bill will be sent to your house.. Whatever address that Car title is registered in. What Fashola is doing, makes me proud to say that I am a Nigerian once again. This man has Vision, he is a world leader. I am a Waffarian.. from the City Of Warri, Delta State. But each time I fly into Lagos, I feel more relaxed than else where. Americans were able to develop their country because everyone is paying their fair share... Some people who ply those Tolls on the Highway to work, pay as much as $75usd - $150usd Monthly for their Toll fee's = 12,000 Naira - 23,000 Naira. Just recently, I drove pass the Highway, forgot there was Toll there, cause me I nor still like the toll fees with brain... They sent me ticket of about 6 dollars or 4 dollars.. I ignored it and within two weeks or three weeks later. They fined me for not paying the less than 6 dollars toll fee.

Please Support Fashola, the man has good intention, but the process of change sometimes, has a lot of inconviences... Is not doing all this for himself, is doing it to better the life of Lagosians... Is not easy to be way more a million times outstanding from A Commander In Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria... Fashola is the best Gov... Travel outside Nigeria and see how things are done before you rain curse on a Gov like Fashola. I am not Yoruba... I am a Deltan and don't live in Lagos.. But the truth be say, good thing na good thing... wether you talk bad or good about am ooh, he nor go change the status of the good. One Love my fellow country men and women in the House.

Lmao.. Walked into 80 million dollars indeed...
@MusKeeto.... Please she is not direct Black AA... She is Cherokee... That means, she is Native Americans, the real Americans. That was almost wiped out by the Europeans (White)... The Govt here in the US owe a lot of them some kind of Money and they also advice other Americans whom think they have a trace of the Native American blood to go for Blood test and get some kind of Govt pay or something. I live in Irving, Texas.. So I know what I'm talking about. She is not lying, everything you do in America is on record.

In this clip, Apostle Veter Nichols who is a spiritual mother and mentor to Juanita Bynum explains how she died and at the point of death David E. Taylor was at the foot of her hospital bed commanding life to come back into her body. And at that moment, life came back and she was healed completely. She also shares how she came into $80 million after repenting of disobeying the command of the Lord through David E. Taylor. He told her that since she repented and then obeyed she was able to come into her inheritance. Not many days after, She found out that her family was owed $80 million.

There are witnesses who can attest to this Face to Face Appearance of the Lord in Canada being a direct result of another major Appearance on Earth in a region of the Lord working with David E. Taylor. Apostle Taylor was in a major conference in Providence, Rhode Island when three leaders from Canada approached him after hearing his testimony about how God has been coming down in every region that he is sent to. He told them that he would love to come and that God said He would go before him! Everyone agreed to the wonderful news and just three days later God appeared openly before millions in Canada!
