When young Nigerians ply Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and feel perplexed at its terrible state, they may not know a govt between 1999-2007 had ample opportunity to fix it, but did not. The govt only prepared grounds for concession of d road to Bi-Courtney for N89.5Billion. #Atikulate
Bi-Courtney was granted rights to resume toll collection on the busiest road in Africa for N25yrs! This was after the administration had abolished toll gates to justify fuel tax levy in 2004. Obasanjo hitherto dismissed d official N23Million made daily from toll gates as paltry.
All rolled into one, OBASANJO and ATIKU are the fathers, grandfathers, and ancestors of CRONY CAPITALISM in Nigeria. The duo cultivated, mechanized and irrigated the current ravaging extreme poverty in the land through "accumulation by dispossession." #Atikulate
