All pays depending on you. Mining takes time to mature. You need to learn new skills to be able to cut Gemstones. You must also go through the learning curves to deal on Gems.

I can train you anywhere in Nigeria. Oyo is a very good place to start. There is many Miners in Ibadan and environs. It is only Keffi and Jos that can compete with Oyo in terms of Mining activities in Nigeria.
