What Difference is There Between Police and Toll Gates?

It's no longer news that toll gates in Nigeria have been removed a couple of years back by OBJ's government, ostensibly to alleviate the financial hardship being imposed on the general public by the tolls. At the time, government rationalised that the removal of tolls on Federal roads will help reduce transportation cost in the country. As usual, it is one of those short-sighted Greek gifts that successive governments in the country are wont to force down the throats of ordinary folks who are not fortunate enough to be in government.

But as the days turned to weeks, and weeks into months, that dream continued to be a mirage. In time past, I write about a nation without shame. It is very regrettable that shame is gone out of our national life and people are wont to live, eat and swim in open sewers and yet they perpetually grin from ear to ear as if their abode is superior to God's paradise. Now, I am no longer concerned about all the hearsay about what ASUU said to FG and vice versa, I am rather peeved by the recent developments which culminated in the tragic death of Prof. Festus Iyayi at the hand of a governor's convoy killer-squad. Not being a witness to the incident means I am not qualified to adjudge which of the versions of the tale making the rounds is true. One is however astounded at th...
