This has been proven to be false as seen with the Lagos-Ibadan railway trains
Is this modern to you?

I assume the interviewer meant light-speed rail (bullet trains), of which China is the only country that has built significant amounts. China has recently stopped building them. Their economic value hasn't been proven to justify their cost in the long run.

The railway system being built in Nigeria today is okay, so far as it is maintained and secured. This thread is pure sensationalism. I don't think the interviewer understood her own question, she needs to define what she meant by 'modern' first.

PoliticsMoney Laundering: EFCC Arraigns Ex-lagos Commissioner by TechtraGadgets(op): 6:34am On Oct 12, 2022
by Onozure Dania, punchng.com October 12, 2022

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed a money laundering charge against a former Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Olasupo Shasore (SAN), before a Lagos Federal High Court.

EFCC, in the four-count seen by The PUNCH, accused Shasore of inducing one Olufolakemi Adelore to accept a cash payment of $100, 000 without going through a financial institution.

He was also accused of making a cash payment of $100, 000 to Olufolakemi Adelore through Auwalu Habu and Wole Aboderin.

Shasore was alleged to have committed the offences on November 18, 2014.

The charge was filed before the court on August 12, 2022, by EFCC counsel, Bala Sanga, and three others.

In addition, the former Lagos AG was alleged to have made a cash payment of $100, 000 to one Ikechukwu Oguine without going through a financial institution.

The offences, according to the commission, contravened Sections 78(c); 1(a) and 16(1)(d) and 18(c) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended) and are punishable under section 16(6) and 16 (2)(b) of the same Act.

However, Shasore’s arraignment has been fixed for October 20.

Charges filed by EFCC read in part, “That you Shasore on or about November 18, 2014, in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this court induced Olufolakemi Adelore to commit an offence, to wit accepting cash payment of the sum of $100, 000.00 without going through a financial institution which such exceeded the amount authorised by law and you thereby committed an offence contrary to section 78(c) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended) and punishable under Section 16(6) of the same Act.

“That you Shasore on or about November 18, 2014, in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this court, in a transaction without going through a financial institution, made a cash payment of the sum of $100, 000.00 to Adelore through Auwalu Habu and Wole Aboderin, which sum exceeded the amount permitted by law and you thereby committed an offence contrary to sections 1(a) and 16(1)(d) the Money Laundering(Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as Amended) and punishable under Section 16(2)(b) of the same Act.

“That you Shasore on or about November 18, 2014, in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this court, induced one Ikechukwu Oguine to commit an offence, to wit: accepting case payment of the sum of $100, 000. 00 without going through a financial institution, which exceeded the amount permitted by law and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(c) of the Money Laundering Act, 2011 (as amended) and punishable under Section 16 (2)(b) of the same Act.”

What's the essence in paying taxes to State and Federal Govt if you still want companies to take on govt responsibilities?
This is the rubbish that encourages corruption.
So because I site my factory in a town or village, all the wahala of that village must be solved by me while the govt looks the other way?
This is the reason why most companies avoid doing any form of CSR.
What responsibilities? No one's asking them to take on govt responsibilities
I'm not attacking their contract with the govt. Dangote is an irresponsible, useless business (in every way, shape and form) to its host communities and the nation at large.
PoliticsRe: "DangoteExploitingKogi" Trends On Twitter Amidst Controversies by TechtraGadgets:
Dangote and his ilks in Nigeria are some of the most useless billionaires in the world.
Dangote got a deal that can only be replicated in countries like Russia (in 1990s) but won't give anything back to his (their) host communities.

If you'd like to defend these guys (that are as bad as Nigerian politicians), you should know that most of their wealth came from monopolistic deals with corrupt FG. The LEAST they could do is give back and invest in the host communities, whose resources they've syphoned. That's how thriving ecosystems from California (USA) to Mumbai (India) are built.

In Nigeria, most people and businesses are shameless.

Yesterday i quit my job.
I heard stories about how former employees before me, stole from the company. Even the last person i met there stole hundreds of thousands and was sacked 3 weeks after i joined.
I was hardworking , honest, punctual, polite and hands on the best worker.

I was made employee of the month , a month after i joined and guess how much i was given as reward? #250!
Lol
After i requested permission to travel to the East for a close Aunt's burial for a week and 2 days, i was permitted yet Half of my salary for last month was still deducted and that's why i quit.
After the way i served and upheld this company and even worked overtime most times and always get home very late at night.
It is well.. i know God and life has better
plans for me. ASUU strike or not.
It's called capitalism. Finding the right opportunity for you is just as important as working hard and smart.

Take your lessons and make better, smarter decisions in the future.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking you should lessen your standards unless you're ready to keep going down that road of little to no principles or morals.

Lagos state generates more revenue than 33 states in Nigeria combined.

God Bless Asiwaju Tinubu, the great Jagaban of Africa.
Every country has a commercial capital. It happens to be Lagos because it was a former capital of the the country and the only other state with an international airport besides FCT and a viable port. All of that has nothing to do with Tinubu.

Your question is funny man. The internet is there for you to learn. There are countries that recognise Taiwan as an independent country. simple and short.

The US doesn't recognise Taiwan as an independent country.
You can't name the countries. 13 countries recognize Taiwan as governing all of China, not as an independent country separate from China. 180 recognize PRC as governing all of China including Taiwan.

My question is not funny.

Careless narcissists like Pelosi will cause the next major war not Xi Jinping. Pelosi achieved nothing, zero!, by going to Taiwan, except protecting her fragile ego

Let's be clear on certain things so we don't start going back and forth.

You: No Country in the world recognises Taiwan as an independent country.

Me: This is a lie. There are countries in the world that recognises Taiwan as an independent/ sovereign nation and such countries have OFFICIAL diplomatic relations with Taiwan. This is the fact!

You: There has always been skirmishes about who controls the straits in the south china sea.

Me: When you say straits, i guess you mean the Taiwan straits. Well, there has never been any skirmishes about who controls the Taiwan straits. While China claims ownership of the strait (same way it claims ownership of almost all of the south china sea), the US has always stated that the Taiwan strait and most of the SCS that china claims as it's own are international waters. This is why the US regularly flies fighter jets and sails warships through the Taiwan strait to buttress to china that the Taiwan strait and most of the SCS are international waters. A country can't claim an expansive body of water because it bothers the sea. The Taiwan strait connects the south china sea to the east china sea making it one of the busiest trading route in the world. The US and other right thinking nations will never allow China to claim all of the Taiwan strait and most of the SCS as it's own! Never!

You: The US interest in an independent, Sovereign Taiwan has grown due to Taiwan's TSMC

Me: Lol. You don't even know what you are saying. what defines an independent/Sovereign state? Taiwan governs it's own affairs, elect it's own leaders, have a standing military, have it's own currency. List the characteristics of an independent/sovereogn nation and tell me the one Taiwan lacks.

US still maintains a policy of "strategic ambiquity" as it relates to Taiwan.

So, your statement that the US interest for an independent, Sovereign Taiwan doesn't even make sense.

You: China has made dollars of investment in Africa and Asia.

Me: China hasn't done half of what the US has done in this aspect. It's even possible that you have been a beneficiary of US aid to Nigeria. The US is the biggest single donor to agencies like UNICEF, WHO etc. There are several USAID projects in Nigeria and all over Africa.

You:
Which countries recognizes China and Taiwan as two separate countries? And does the US recognize Taiwan as a separate country?

Let's begin there

No country in the World recognises Taiwan as an independent country? Please let us hear word.

If you knew your history too well, you would have known that the US interest on Taiwan didn't start today. Go back and read the Chinese civil war and the role the US played. You can also read about the first, second and third Taiwan crisis. All these occured at a point Taiwan has not become a chip manufacturing powerhouse. That chip is the reason the US is backing Taiwan is laughable.

You are the one to pull your head out of the butthole of Chinese imperialists.

Side note: Same Sri Lanka you mentioned handed over it's port to China when it couldn't repay it's loan. China is doing debt diplomacy to trap nations. Don't worry, Nigeria will relinquish some of it's national assets to China in the nearest future when all the loans Buhari is currently borrowing from China can't be repaid.
If you read my post carefully, you'll see that I mentioned "sovereign Taiwan"

There's always been skirmishes about who controls the straits in the South China sea. The US has always had interests in the region and in Taiwan but its interest in an "independent, sovereign Taiwan" has grown due to TSMC basically being the backbone of modern of tech.

You say it's laughable. So you think it's because of democracy like it was in Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq..?

The Sri Lankan port issue pales in comparison to the billions of dollars of investments that China has made across Africa and Asia. It is giving American politicians sleepless nights.

"while the US goes to Afghanistan to preach about toxic masculinity, China goes there to build roads and bridges" - David Sacks, PayPal cofounder.

The fact that you will dismiss Taiwan not being recognised as an independent country as let us hear word, means you do not understand the gravity of what is being talked about. You ignore international laws and politics, thousands of people die, then you point your narcissistic finger towards China.

US will never allow China take over Taiwan. If China take over Taiwan, they automatically control the pacific which accounts for major trade routes in Asia and a dent to US economy. Imagine what will happen if China close that route? It means end of business to US. Taiwan is not Ukraine!
Exactly why China will not allow a foreign power to control those routes. At least 70% of China's imported oil goes through those routes

Just semi- conductors that's what the west source from Taiwan..
Taiwan is not China and will never be Taiwan. Taiwanese tech (semi- conductors) are not for China..
Cheap labour cab easily be replace..
Countries like Vietnam the Philippines, India, Thailand could easily replace the cheap labour..
But can China replace the western market which amounts to 70% of its total trade?
'Just semi-conductor' shows you don't know much about semi-conductors.
If it's 'just semi-conductors', why can't big American tech replace it despite years of shortage? Or why is the US spending $50billion on semi-conductor factory subsidies.

The US is stiring up trouble because it can't stand a formidable China. While the US is stiring up conflicts from Asia, to Africa, to Europe, China is building meaningful trade relationships and investing in infrastructure across Asia and Africa.

Easily replaceable cheap labour but all the countries you mentioned are Asian countries. China will control the straits of the South China Sea and there's nothing narcissistic American liberals can do about it.

Biden asked this stupid woman not to embark on this trip but like any narcissistic woke liberal, they think international politics has to take a back seat to their fragile emotions.

No other country can attempt similar shenanigans with the US. Everyone acts like the Cuban missile crisis never happened and allow woke idiots like Pelosi to keep stiring up trouble that they won't be around to answer for when shit hits the fan.
