Lekki Toll Gate - Where is BRF?


If you did not pass through the Lekki-Epe expressway yesterday you will not understand the magnitude of this problem. There was serious traffic yesterday caused by the kick off of the tolling in that area.

Many worshipers went late to church and some even missed services because of this. As if this is not bad enough, the toll fees are very ridiculous; fees that requires you scouting for change. Imagine the fees:

N50 - Motorcycles
N80 - Commercial buses (Danfos)
N120 - Saloon cars & tricycles
N150 - SUVs, minibuses and pick up trucks
N250 - Light trucks
N350 - Heavy trucks and buses

Protesters came out at about 10am this morning but Rapid Response Squad (RRS) were there to disperse the crowd. I was told that not fewer than 18 people were arrested.

How long will this continue? BRF what say ye on this matter?

If only there was a train passing from Ajah down to Marina then nobody would care about the toll. Unfortunately the alternative route is not an alternative and that is where Fashola should have driven through and not the Toll gate. Who is a FOOL?

For once, I wish I had explosives to blow up the F*&king toll plaza. Not after all that tax I pay >>>> BRF should go toll Lagos Island, Ikeja, Yaba and all other places where roads were rehabilitated. Why single us out for exploitation? Its either toll all or toll none!
