Toll roads are for frequent and hasty road users , there should be alternatives to toll roads.
You don't just impose things on people.

Bro there are toll roads all over the world. In the NE of US, toll roads fit kee person. Going from New Jersey to Washington DC alone fit cost about 15 dollars just in toll one way.

Na we dey do ourselves..

Did you recently visited Dubai with all this your Dubai postings.

Are you not tired of comparing Nigeria with anything you see online? Where in the post the Op mentioned Nigeria that warrant your foolish comparison?

i wonder someone can't even ask a question in a discussion forum like this, the over sabi individuals, see it as foolishness to ask questions, that's how they remain foolish thinking they know it all.

Revenue generation comes in many ways...

At least they don't embezzle the generated funds. See how amazing the roads are.

It's a bit unfair to compare Nigeria to Dubai.

A lot of European and asian countries too can't compare and marvel at what they see there.

Sure, they've a visionary leader, but they'd tons more money generated from oil than we do.

Also not everything is blamable on government: we too ruin public infrastructure with our dirt and pollution and devil-may-care attitude towards preservation and conservation. Just look at the state of toilets in public places where people don't clean up after themselves, or even bother to flush. Some even piss and shiit deliberately on the floor. Or clog toilets with soggy tissues.

Lagos is dirty not just because of government but because lagosians can be quite careless and dirty.

An organized city and country where they don’t deceive themselves with corruption and incompetence.

Finally finally......
Na today i jst give it up..... Nigeria is a backward... Nigeria is a shit...

El rufA'i will do this in Kaduna very soon. I trust him

AutoJoshNG:
In terms of public infrastructure, Dubai always aims for the extra-ordinary.

For instance, the toll gates in Dubai are quite unique and ultra-modern. The tool gates there have no toll-booths, no toll-collectors, and they do not cause traffic build-ups.

The toll-gate system in Dubai is dubbed “Salik”. “Salik”, is an Arabic word for "open" or clear".

Salik is an electronic toll system. It is based on RFID technology. Whenever a car drives under the toll gate, it automatically deducts a fee from the driver's account.

The use of this technology ensures the continuous flow of traffic. This is unlike the traditional type of toll-gates that requires drivers to stop and pay the charges with cash or with a card.

The fee charged for using the toll gate is 4 AED (N400). The amount is automatically deducted from their pre-paid toll account each time you drive through a toll gate. Alternative roads are available for those who don't mind a longer trip time in order to avoid the toll fees.

In Dubai, motorists are required to buy a 100 AED pre-paid card/tag that is affixed to their windscreens. You could buy a tag online or at petrol stations in Dubai using your Salik account.

Penalties for crossing a toll gate without the Salik tag

Of course, there are penalties for crossing a toll gate without the Salik tag fixed on your car.

If you don’t have a tag on your vehicle and you drive through a tollgate, you are expected to open a Salik account and tag within 10 working days. Otherwise, you would get fined. Thereafter, the 10-day grace period elapses, you will be fined  Dh100 for the first day you drive through Salik toll gates, Dh200 for the second day and Dh400 for each subsequent day after the second day.

Taxis in Dubai are also charged the Salik toll fees. Taxi drivers typically add it to the taxi fare given to their passengers. Car-hire companies also attach a Salik tag on their cars. Clients debit or credit cards are charged for the deductions.

Autojosh.com was recently in Dubai. There, we hired a car for our use in the city. The car had a Salik tag on it. See below the charges that we incurred for using the toll gates. The charges are automatically debited from our Debit Cards.

In Dubai, Locations, where you would encounter toll gates, are Al Barsha, Al Garhoud, Al Maktoum, Al Mamzar, Al Safa, Airport Tunnel, Energy Metro Station, Jebel Ali, etc.

Similar electronic toll collection technology is currently operational in some countries. In 2013, it was launched in South Africa.

The Salik toll was launched by Dubai's Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on 1 July 2007.

See below some photos of the Salif Toll Gates.

That's not the point of discussion, learn to stick to the point of discussion.

I am not here to defend government oh....

I know APC has failed.....

But let's not forget

UAE produces 2.5 million barrels per day , and shares the revenue among 11 million people
Nigeria produces 2.2 million barrels per day, and shares the revenue among 200million people.

So for Nigeria to be like UAE

Either our population goes down to less than 10 million OR

We pursure polices that get us off dependency on oil......

Simples.

God bless you they forgotten Dubai is not a country but an emirate inside UAE, how can u compare an emirate to a country. An emirate is just like lagos.

Only one post i love from the above which is not similar to the rest above. But in addition to that, proper management of our various resources demands transparency which the government and the people lack.

HospitalityDiva:


Sir, where in the post is the comparison? And so what if there was a comparison? Are the people in Dubai spirits? Don't we also have oil that they developed the place with?

That is what will expect when you don't post. The dude came and typed based on assumption.

Or we get out of OPEC if a call for increase in production quota is not heeded.

Many prosperous countries are not part of OPEC.

While OPEC'S day in the sun is done (it only accounts for one third of all oil producers anyways) it still has a big influence on the price of oil.

Also, prosperity is based on how industrialized a country is, not on how much raw materials we export (unless the population is small enough for the cash to go round adequately)

it is now the case of the Egg or Hen,which comes first?

Industrialization is a function of infrastructure. UAE used oil money to build infrastructure.

For now,only oil,at least in the short term,only oil can give us the forex revenue to build infrastructure.

The other alternative is Loans and lots of loans!

I always ask why Nigerian roads are not marked
