Congratulations, i think it will be imperative to update your information as regards minaeral resources found in Edo state. On the 21st of April, 2015, it was announced that large deposit of coal weighing about 186 metric tones have been discovered in the state and has the capability of generating 1000mega watts of electricity.
This is really a blessing from God, when can only imagine the great potential this holds for its citizens and economy.
Thank you God.

Fire Clays

Fire clays are referred to as ‘seat earths’ and are mainly confined to coal-bearing strata and are commonly named after the overlying coal seam. Fire clays are typically thin (normally < 1m, although rarely > 3µm) consising of the clay minerals kaolinite and illite combined with crystalline silica and carbonaceous material, which are used to make heat-resistant fire bricks, insulating brick, refractories, monolithic and castable materials, ramming and air-gun mixes, and other heat-resistant products (British Geological Survey).

Fire clays can withstand high temperatures without disintegrating or turning pasty. Much fire clay is derived from under-clays beneath coal beds, but not all under-clays are fire clays. Fire clays form where surface conditions permit most minerals, except kaolinite and illite to be leached out. Fire clay is rich in hydrous aluminum silica (Chukwudi). Flint clays are non-plastic fireclays that are extremely hard, microcrystalline and composed predominantly of kaolin.

Bentonite

MacDonald and Burton defined bentonite as a variety of mudrock composed almost totally of montmorillonite and colloidal silica, which are the products of the alteration of vitric tuff or ash. The industrial bentonites are generally either the sodium or calcium variety. Bentonites are composed mainly of the smectite group minerals. Bentonites have excellent rheological and absorbent properties, plasticity, lubricity, bonding strength, higher sheer and compressive strength, good permeability, and low compressibility (Murray). Bentonites have a wide range of use. They can be used as drilling mud, sand binding, iron ore pelletizing materials and as pet waste absorbents. Bentonites can be used in civil engineering as sealants. Sodium or calcium bentonite is used in some brick clays where there is need to improve the plasticity.

This is why Nigeria will not move forward. In a (short and admittedly flawed) post listing some of Nigeria's natural resources, people would rather shout 'YOU'RE WRONG. YOU FOOL', make irrelevant and tribalistic comments, and general offer absolutely nothing to add to, or support this list and/or the ideas it presents.

Thank you for making this, and I wish I had more to add on the subject of Nigeria's natural resources, but I'm still reeling from GOLD in Nigeria. Wow.

SouthEast1:
Crude oil is for everyone, but the solid minerals are for those in whose states they are found. That is the inequality that needs to be addressed first. As we speak, illegal gold mining is ongoing in Osun and Niger and Zamfara and Sokoto
Zamfara folks went on illegal lead mining and 400 of them died of lead poisoning following seepage into drinking well waters
Sir you are too fixated upon the north south battle, the poster is trying to improve us as a nation, those that carry our illegal mining don't do it for the betterment of the north, they do It for themselves, no one but them improves, and I've been to the gold mines in zamfara, it's a sorry case, they truly suffer to get a little gold, and there's always a risk of getting caught, you act like the northerners actress shielding them and being improved, but it's not so, only the miners are any better off, not the north.
