Obasanjo government removed toll gate because the money being collected from it was entering private pocket. he never prosecuted anyone. He then put the cost of maintaining the roads on petrol one of the reasons he increased pump price.



Today the money to maintain the roads is still in the petrol price and they want to reintroduce the toll gate. That is not pathetic , what is pathetic is that the useless youths are here singing praises already, wasted generation

Mumu dunce. Even in Europe there are toll gates everywhere.
it took me great restrain not to insult u, I known some of u here are just plain stupid, while some is all about religion while some is all about 30k and some is all about tribe. I don't known which one u belong but the foundation of it all is foolishness. how can u be comparing what is applicable in developed words to this 3rd word country. 1st compare the minimum wages and per capital income of those countries and Nigeria own, even with all this, average Nigerians provide virtually everything for his/her self from water, medical, electricity, securities, education even some areas are providing good motorable road by their selves, even in agriculture govt is partially or virtually not existing. Even some of the road they want to toll is in bad state, take Lagos - Otta road, and Lagos - Badagri road. Somebody wonder what is tax payers money is use for in this country, Please I do not known if u pay taxes but me I pay so if u do not pay please keep ur mouth shut when those that pay are complaining

GMB administration is so deceptive. You moved the price of PMS from N87 to N162, we keep quite, you watched naira plummeting fromN180 to N476 we are helpless. You promised us security, and gave worst security ever since the history of the country only to send Lai Mohammed to start comparing kidnapping in USA with Nigeria just to make sure we stopped complaining while being tormented. You gave all the key appointments to your people, we said you are teaching us a bad lesson, but it's your time . Then and on then you promised to cut tariffs on imported cars from 35% to 5% bit while we are about to start praising you, pronto, all our bad roads will now start paying for toll-gate. Bihari, is this not wickedness?
Re: FG To Introduce Tollgates On 12 Highways (full List) by DonMekino(m): 7:02am On Feb 24, 2021

..


Then why no not so something about the corruption. That is the real issue.
1. what's funny is that it's the whole system that's corrupt. We can't be fighting Buhari when his VP is far more corrupt.
2. There'll be deaths recorded today caused by Fulani herdsmen or Boko haram. This killings has been going on since 2011. No rest and the government is doing nothing about it.
3. Before the next election the terrorists must have extended their campaign to the south south and South East. If I'm being logical here, no non-governmental person can sponsor a terrorist group for 10+ years without going broke. They're getting stronger and this means that they're using our revenue somehow

In sane countries they have tolls on their highways. Nigerians go to these countries and pay the tolls but when they come back home they will complain about tolls and still expect Nigeria to be as good as those countries. If the government can fix the roads, and then give the maintenance of these roads to private companies to manage who in turn collect tolls, then its a welcomed development. Govt alone cannot fix everything.
If you are not misguided then you must be totally cut out from the realities on ground.

So, you are comparing politicians in saner climes to the greedy, demonic and self-centered animals we have here?

So they tolled roads, without good alternatives? When you lie check your back. Tolled roads are for you to get to places faster, not the major road. I have lived in Houston and Sam Houston circuit goes round the city. But there are Very GOOD alternatives.

Good but more required, the road to Obodo Oyibo standard is lined by taxes and tamed citizens Nigerians remain wild still, though, shrieking and condemning anything around them for not being like the West yet jumping on car bonnet, exposing panty to driver because traffic operatives are doing like the West and trying to confiscate their vehicle for extreme traffic violations angry
Stop spreading your ignorance sir.

There are tolls on UK highways. Those tolls are what keep the roads smooth like that.

Why don't you want Nigeria to do the same?
Lol

Truly, Nigerians are the ultimate in suffering and smiling.

I am not against all tolls, but against tolling already existing routes.

You just posited that the highways in the UK are smooth because of toll, so what happened to the lekki epe expressway that was tolled? Why wasn’t the road smooth?

Why doesn’t lekki epe expressway have lane markings?

Why is the lekki epe expressway dark at night?

I don’t know why you guys must always fight for evil in Nigeria. You fight for old corrupt leaders, you fight for bad roads, you fight so your leaders have the gall to make you suffer more... I just don’t get it.

Look at the picture below of a UK highway and compare it to Lekki Epe, where we used to pay N250-N300 per pass. Do you see how the lanes are marked so PERFECTLY on the UK expressway below?

Or maybe you will argue again, but this time, against your very own eyesight.

Is lekki epe highway anywhere close to this?

Suffering and smiling is just too much in this country abeg

No it's not tolled. In Toronto, Ontario, the 407 highway is a private highway and is tolled; the toll conpany make PROFITS from it. The 401 highway (Canada) is a public highway and is excellent just like the UK one you posted and it isn't tolled.

Most UK highways aren't tolled at all.

Why shouldn't I say Nigeria is cursed from the foregoing?? Lekki epe express has been collecting toll for years and nothing to show for it. Uk and Canada don't toll most highways and they are world class. Isn't it a curse?? The difference in oyinbo and naija management is clear!

Tolling is synonymous with money entering private pockets.... it's easy to generate excess revenue from tolling and road maintenance is a fixed cost for the most part.

God bless you for this. You are have travelled far and wide to see the truth. If you want to toll road, you provide alternatives. In Houston, Dallas and other cities, you have a choice. Look at Lekki-Epe you pay and follow unending hold ups around Ikate, Agungi, Igbo-Efon, Chevron. They brought MD LCC, Yomi, he could not say how much toll gates make in a month.
They think we are mumu.....
