STORYLINE:

SOUNDBITE (English): OLUSEGUN OBASANJO, Former Nigerian president
"The relationship of China and Africa has gone tremendously high.
Some of the initiatives that have come from China, Belt and Road Initiative, for instance, I will say that is one initiative that we in Africa and if I may say, particularly we in Nigeria, should tag on to, because even within Africa, we will be able to enhance intra-African trade if communication and transportation within Africa is better, much better than it is today. 
What can we do to ensure peace? We must be talking of common security. We must be talking of shared prosperity. We must be talking of harmony, inclusiveness.
China can be a partner, a great partner.
China is helping us and working with us in some areas of infrastructure development, trading with us.
We are saying to everybody that we want fair trading. We want fair relationship. Win-win relationship.
So equity, justice, fair play, inclusiveness or inclusivity, getting everybody to have a stake and feeling that, yes, this belongs to me. I am part of it. China has done that fairly well. China can lead the world in that."
