How To Get A Money Lenders License In Nigeria by KUDINAIRA: 8:20am On Sep 26, 2022
INTRODUCTION
All over the word Individuals and Businesses require money to meet needs and run business operations and this need for funding has led people to seek loans from various sources especially from commercial banks. In Nigeria, the lending industry has recently blossomed because of the general difficulty in accessing loans from commercial banks and this has led to the increase of private lenders.

However, in order to operate legally, these private lenders must obtain a money lending license in the state where they do their lending business. Each state in Nigeria has a legislation governing lending that also regulates the activities of money lenders. This article explains how to get a money lender’s license in Lagos and Abuja.

In Lagos state, the applicant must register as a Limited Liability Company with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with at least two directors.
An application is made in the appropriate format, to the Chief Magistrate of the Magisterial District where the lending company is located .
A Money Lenders Certificate (Form B) and a letter addressed to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs are given to the applicant after a successful application, verifying due diligence and suggesting the issuing of a Money Lenders License.
An application is then made to the Police for a Clearance report on the directors of the Money lending Company.
The applicant would then make an application to the Lagos State Ministry of Home Affairs and attach the following supporting documents:
3 years (TCC) Tax Clearance Certificate for the Company and at least two directors
Office address of the company or the individual.
(CAC) Corporate Affairs Commission incorporation documents
Police Clearance Certificate for two directors of the company

These are the things Nnamdi Kanu pointed out long ago. But, just like evil humanity did to Jesus Christ, they also said, "crucify him".

Igboho stood up for the Yoruba while Tinubu was taking sides with the oppressors, asking "where are the cows?" Today, Igboho is in prison while Tinubu is warming up to the presidency - supported by many of the same Yoruba whose lives Tinubu cares not about!

To be able to win votes in the North, Atiku had to delete his condemnation of the murder of a Northernern Christian girl Deborah. Now, same Atiku is using Mahdi to get the votes of Northern Christians whose lives he doesn't care about. And many Northern Christians are cheering him!

Today, many Nigerians tend to condemn Peter Obi for not criticising Kanu as if Kanu was not saying the truth all along.

Listen to me Nigerians, until you arise to openly defend Kanu for speaking up for you when it was very inconvenient to do so, YOU WILL FOREVER BE UNDER THE CURSE OF FULANI OPPRESSION.

Please oh, I used to wonder why some Nigerian youths support these evil people enslaving their future. I have understood it now from my recent personal experiences. They have weaponized poverty against us and it's working for them. Here is my story...

For many months now, I have been passing through hell. Joblessness is killing me gradually so much that I almost decided to work for the Atiku campaign. I was surviving by getting writing gigs but now every client is demanding the use of premium software that are very costly. Please, I'm ashamed having to tell these long stories but I don't know what else to do. Please, anyone who can help me with any amount of money at all, please do. UBA 2085743995 or with a remote job that I can do without any premium software. God bless you. Kindly understand please.
