In response, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Yekini Nabena said, “The PDP should go back and study how to play opposition politics because they will remain in opposition for a long time.quote author=Omooba77 post=104841708]
So APC don't have anything meaningful to say aside saying PDP don't know how to play opposition party, must PDP agree to your devilish decisions.

Look who is talk...APC na PDP.....PDP na APC

Buhari is what one get when under God's punishment....

Apc is obviously clueless.

So where does pdp expect us to get money to maintain the roads?

By taking another loan shebi?

Truth is either we start rasing taxes or we start taking more loans.Oil is too low

PDP on point here.Gas,milk,bread,yam is beyond common man pocket .Mannabb Bia !

Don't like APC, but let's be honest

The fact is that we are not making enough money from oil. Meanwhile our tax to gdp is very low. Eventually we would have to find a way to raise money for road repairs and the only way I see this happening is via toll gates.

As for the complaint that they will loot the money...Well that is why we live in a democracy so that we can do the hard work of holding our leaders to account. Democracy is not about having everything done for you. You are not a baby. Stand up and do your part.

Anyone opposing toll gates is basically saying we should take more loans or we should continue with bad roads with no money to fix them.

So sorry, abuse me, but until you can suggest an alternative to funding road maintenance in this country and it is not by juat cutting the big man salary because we need far far more than what we can get from cutting salaries of all the big men, you should just keep shut and pay the toll. And even if Biafra and oodua come tjey will toll their roads too. Or become as indebted as Nigeria once was.

Let's be realistic

P.s
I don't like APC or pdp so don't go there.

If it would improve the state of the road and the security. I think its a welcome development.

Look around you .... has the existing tollgates in Lagos improved anything ? Be honest and remove any iota of sentiments to get the right answer...!

The only THING worse than buhari is buhari ITSELF.

The doomed, diabolic herder is all shades of disasters!

Dude's Nigeria's worst blunder.

Let's be realistic...how many progressive countries are a result of oil proceeds ?
Japan ? America, even South Africa ? Even look at how Ghanna has been faring in recent times and connect the dots... It's not about fall in oil prices , it's about harnessing the true potential (human / economic ) avaliable...
Until we wake up as a nation ,accept this truth and start doing things right , we will keep blaming unnecessary things like oil prices ...
Food for thought: Nigeria was a great country before oil was discovered. How did this happen and why is it that since the focus has been oil , Nigeria currently doesnt have a working refinery?

Buhari has PhD in inflicting pains on the masses even his last leadership .

1.Nigeria was never great before oil. We were a poor country then and a poor country now.

2. Our problem is that whatever we sell we don't control the price. Whether it be oil palm cocoa cotton or groundout.

3. Our revenue from agric crashed in the 1970s. We used oil to hide the crash. We were.fortunate that oil prices shot up.

4. Great nations are nations that export industrial goods and services

5. We don't have a working refinery because we want to buy fuel at 40 naira per liter that costs nearly 200 naira to make. The refinreis run down because profits are not there to repair them and tjey are sabotaged because oil workers will be paid whether they work or not.

6.either we toll the roads or keep taking more and more loans.

7. For good measure Nigeria must industrialize. APC and PDP should wake up to that.

Because most Nigerians do not want the power and oil companies to have total control over the prices they set for selling power and petrol....just like Nigerians in the market have control over the prices they set for foodstuff, and non edibles, the power and oil companies don't have enough money to pay for good refinereis and much needed improvements in power generation and transmission. Any profits they make goes into salaries.

By allowing the power companies and the petrol companies set their prices, they would be able to make enough profits to improve things.

But since we are too poor....we get poor service.

Modified 2

It is a myth to believe that Nigeria was ever rich. Nigeria was not rich in the 1960's at all. My home village in the 1960's did not have power, or a decent road, until some 14 years ago. Many other villages were like that. Most of the schools we are using were built in the 1970's and 80's with oil boom money. Even then rich nations are nations that make things the world needs and sells them to the world at prices they control. Nigeria, and most other African nations are poor because we sell things like agricultural and mineral prodcts whose prices are never at a level that can sustain us, and when they collapse, we have to take loans.

We would have been in serious economic crisis like Ghana was in the 1970's if it wasn't for oil. In the 1970's many commonwealth nations had issues earning money from selling agric produce to the UK, ESPECIALLY as the UK was not well economically then. The ones that surivived were either industrial, or had to rebrand, or suffered.

Whatever PDP spokesperson uttered this nonsense needs to GTFOH with this bleep.
Did the PDP have concern for the masses when dem were looting the national treasury to the bare bones?
Imagine a former oil minister and very close ally to GEJ needing and procuring a diplomatic passport and citizenship from Dominica.

Truly hardship. The government need to do something about this bad economy.

PDP that abandoned nigerian roads They invented audio projects

Do you realized when Baba Iyabo cancelled tollgate, he add up additional 1.50niara on every litre of petrol saying that will replace toll fees paid

Now, same additional 1.50naira was never removed till now still they wanna reintroduce payment of toll fees

Smh

Birds of same feathers .... Smh

A new force should emerge.
PDP=APC, na the same thing.

yuping:
Something most be wrong with this APC, whoever think this government no what it is doing must have something he or she is getting. VAT, Tax, LAND use Charge, Levy, Fee, school fee hike, and now toll gate.
APC milking Nigeria since 2015 till date.

This is how shallow minded Nigerians can be, what is APC? What is PDP? All these platforms don't matter.
We have the worst political class ever in the history of Africa

The amount collected by the numerous check points by Police and Customs on the Highways is far greater than what the toll gates will ever generate. Instead of creating tool gate to increase more hardship on motorist, they should just legalize the police and custom check points and make police a revenue generating agency.

1983: The same Buhari made things worse... Alot of people suffered then....

2015: The same Buhari took power again 2015.... Seems like people are suffering more now than 1983.

Chai.....

Grace001:


Anything to inflict hardship and suffering on Nigerian masses is Buhari led government agenda. The unfortunate part of it is that Nigeria masses enjoy the suffering, and they smile while they suffer

HOW?

You carry JEEP/CAR.... YOU GET MONEY

YOU carry trailer.... YOU DEY MAKE MONEY

So what are you complaining about?
