Here's what a quick Google search showed me.

The Trade Marks Act; Chapter 436; Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 provides for Trademarks and Patents in Nigeria. A trademark is a symbol or a sign which differentiates the goods and services of one business from another one. You can register your trademark - a name, logo, slogan, domain name, shape, colour or sound with the Commercial Law department, Ministry of Trade and Investment in Nigeria. This can legally protect your trademark from use by a competitor. The trademark must be distinctive for the goods and services that you provide, not be deceptive, illegal or immoral and not be similar to existing trademarks.


A trademark provides protection to the owner of the mark by ensuring the exclusive right to use it to identify goods or services, or to authorize another to use it in return for payment. The period of protection varies, but a trademark can be renewed indefinitely beyond the time limit on payment of additional fees. Trademark protection is enforced by the courts, which in most systems have the authority to block trademark infringement.

In a larger sense, trademarks promote initiative and enterprise worldwide by rewarding the owners of trademarks with recognition and financial profit. Trademark protection also hinders the efforts of unfair competitors, such as counterfeiters, to use similar distinctive signs to market inferior or different products or services. The system enables people with skill and enterprise to produce and market goods and services in the fairest possible conditions, thereby facilitating international trade.

REQUIREMENTS FOR FILING NIGERIAN TRADE MARK APPLICATIONS

Applicant's details

The full name(s), nationality and physical address of the applicant (to be advised to local Agent/Attorney).

The trademark Information

The Representation must be clear and distinct. If to be filed online, soft copies are to be provided in jpeg format at a minimum of 1200 dpi.

A representation is preferred to have the following dimensions: 120px by 100px (length by breath)

Goods

The full range of goods covered or proposed to be covered by the trade mark. Nigeria presently follows the International Classification of Goods. A separate application is filed for each classification of goods for which the trade mark is to be registered.

Power of Attorney/Authorization of Agent

A Power of Attorney simply signed, with full particulars of name(s), address (es) and nationality of the applicant(s). Full name(s) and capacity of the signatory when applicant is a firm/company.
PROCEDURE FOR REGISTRATION OF TRADE MARKS

The usual market practice is to instruct a local Attorney/Agent in Nigeria, who would file and process applications at the Nigerian Registry of Trade Marks, Patents, Designs and Copyright. A Power of Attorney/Authorization of Agent Form would be completed in favor of such local Agent, as the enabling instrument to act for the principal/ Applicant. Thereafter, all official documents and forms would be submitted by the local Agent/Attorney. Until replaced or substituted by another local Agent, the local Agent remains responsible for processing registrations of the marks, defending Oppositions (if any), provides address for local service of documents, and maintains renewals of the marks. A local Agent/Attorney may be replaced or substituted by executing another Power of Attorney/Authorization of Agent Form in favor of the succeeding Agent. NO formal notices are necessary and the Agent with the more recent Authorization is deemed to be the one with powers to act thenceforth.

After filing the application for trade mark registration, the Registrar issues an official acknowledgement reflecting the official number and filing date of the application. A preliminary search is conducted as to distinctiveness from existing and pending registrations. The Registrar examines the application for registrability taking into consideration possible conflicts with prior registered or pending marks and or inherent

What do you guys think? Can anyone in the house enhance this prototype?

Last last sha, fasting and prayer would solve it, if is spiritual not digital.

Very niceeeee......#urbanculture

We believe it is TIME we STOP COMPLAINING AND CREATE SOLUTIONS.

We CAN all create SOLUTIONS that would help Nigeria's DEVELOPMENT PACE.
Create a NEW NIGERIA within NIGERIA. We need a platform. An interactive one.
Between the Government and the citizens. We need NEW URBAN CULTURES.
The way we all go to Church 3 times a week, we use the same ginger to BUILD A NEW NIGERIA and a patriotic people.

I am building a platform called #iAbuja alias The Abuja Eye.......Coming Soon.

Everyone is invited to join the invention process of iAbuja o! You are welcome

MORNDEW:
What are the things that
should be demanded by the would be
protesters? Regime change? Slashing of
National Assembly members allowances and
salaries? Slashing of all Government officials
salaries? Speedy expedition of court cases?
Putting a stop to unecessary politicking, halt
of the current self sustenance policies? Or
what exactly?
Princewill Chimereze.

This is brilliant. #iAbuja is loading

WHAT IS iAbuja?


iAbuja alias The Abuja Eye seeks to be a digital eye in Abuja's sky... Might be powered by Tesla.



ie A Big 4sided Television with 64,583sqft of commercial rental space inside it and 64,583sqft of digital billboard rental space outside.



Location is CBD Abuja's City Center. Abuja is the Capital of Nigeria.



Imagine the view of a TV in City's Sky every night and inside it is a civic space you can go to for any reason. Eat, Read, View the City from the top, Paint, Party, meet up friends, experience Virtual Reality of places and more. Nigeria's own urban tech city center.

Illustrated by this picture mix below:
pic 1: Inside an observation deck
pic 2: Our iAbuja prototype. Pyramid solar roof + 6000sqm of transperant digital media mesh.
pic 3: Target location: Rooftop of Abuja's newest and commercial tower(World Trade Center Abuja)
pic 4: The Residentail & Commercial Tower from a distance(without iAbuja)
pic 5: The WTC towers from a different vantage

GREAT Speeh!! 100% African Enthusiast!! So where is the disconnect? Our education systems are poor and our governments have taken forever to fix up + Rebels have crazy weapons cuz poor security, Yankee game play smelling. Ask their economic hitmen! Google is ur friend. So is youtube.

You Nigerians are not good people, that is why God has given you bad leaders

Bad people get demons as leaders. Look at what Jammeh said to you Nigerians in 2014, and you ungrateful people have turned to betray him. Watch the video! Watch the video!! Watch the video!!!

Leave Yahya Jammeh ALONE!!!

Hypocrites, stop trampling on the constitution of the independent and sovereign Republic of the Gambia!!!

Allow me introduce you all to the ongoing African Tech Innovation Competition called #innovateAFRICA .

It is tech competition that gives seed fund to innovater in AFRICA.

A platorm SPONSORED BY:
Omidyar Network, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the CFI, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF), the Global Editors’ Network (GEN) and the World Bank.

Facebook: search #innovateAFRICA to read about the competition and use #iAbuja when commenting.

Our innovation called "The Abuja Eye" alias #iAbuja is representing Nigeria amonsgts other innovators from different African countries
and for iAbuja to win for Nigeria, iAbuja has to be well supported across social media platforms.

What is iAbuja?
iAbuja alias The Abuja Eye seeks to be a digital eye in Abuja's sky. A 6000sqm civic space/observation deck/information society/data bank, illuminated with approx. 6000sqm of a digital media mesh billboard, on the rooftop+4floors of Abuja's tallest commercial building, which is the new World Trade Center (WTC) Abuja.

My Naija people,
what to you guys think of the concept of “a digital eye in Abuja’s Sky”? like a big television you can see from almost all around Abuja and inside it, is a civic space/data bank we all can go to
1) enjoy views of Abuja from the top,
2) meet up with friends, eat, paint, party, read
3) experience virtual reality,
4) connect your phone download app, store/share/retrieve data.

Would it profoundly engage us all?

Do you guys think a name like “iAbuja or The Abuja Eye” makes sense for such an information society that wants to aid journalism, news media and ultimately Africa’s development pace.

WE THINK SO! The name iAbuja = a Unifier #Technology #Urbanculture

A tool that uses location, height, a giant billboard, the Internet, mobile applications, dashboard cameras and drones to drive data-driven journalism to improve the relevance and impact of news media.

Imagine situating #iAbuja or The Abuja Eye at the rooftop of the new World Trade Center Abuja.............Would that be iconic for the city?

Do you think it is a digital idea that would improve the way that news is collected and disseminated?

Adesida R.E & Partners Ltd & Digitel CS Media have put this iAbuja or The Abuja Eye concept in for the #innovateAFRICA
competition and we would like to know what you guys think about the concept.

Is our idea a WINNER?
If you think so, show your support or concerns or additions. Lets all discuss.

As President-Elect o! See what Trump is attracting to USA already.
$50billion investments NOT LOANS! + 50,000 new jobs

As President-Elect o........Donald Trump has already got companies like Japan's SoftBank pledging to invest $50billion dollars in startups with the USA creating 50,000 jobs over a 4year period!

See brain! My Naija Presidency people want to go and borrow $30billion against a weakening NAIRA. Na wa o!

abeg, does anyone know the gist of the coming currency war? and Gold reverses? Market manupulations? fiat currencies? federal reverse systems? etc

Breakfast today. Noodles and sturvz

So how ‘terrible’ was this Libya that had existed for the four decades since the original revolution?
According to David Blundy and Andrew Lycett’s book titled, “Qaddafi and the Libyan Revolution”, published
long before the 2011 crisis;

The young people are well dressed, well fed and well educated. Every Libyan gets free
and often excellent education, medical and health services. New colleges and
hospitals are impressive by any international standard.[/size][size=8pt]

They further state, “All Libyans have a house or a flat, a car, and most have
televisions and other conveniences. Compared with most citizens of Third
World countries, and with many (others), Libyans have it very good indeed.”[/size][size=8pt]

Again, it was a broadly secular society that had been established after Gaddafi and his revolutionary allies had ousted King Idris
in their entirely bloodless coup in 1969. Child marriage was banned and women enjoyed equality of equal pay for equal work
(an astonishing reform for an Arab nation at that time), equal rights in divorce and access to higher education. For that matter,
enjoyment of higher education rose from 8% in 1966 to 43% in 1996, with literacy rates rising from 25% before Gaddafi to an estimated 88%
during his era, and average life-expectancy rose from 51/54 in 1969 to 74/77.[size=8pt][/size][size=8pt][/size]

How did this happen?? Where is NIGERIA?? Are we going towards a future like OR BETTER THAN this?? THAT SHOULD BE EVERYONE AND EVERY PARTY'S CONCERN

Observing......

dress back brov!

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, SAN, has stressed the need for Nigeria to develop its own plan capable of effectively addressing the current economic downturn.


Fashola, who spoke while delivering a lecture on “Freedom from Fear, Choices before the New Generation” to mark the 42nd convocation of the University of Benin, Edo State, said that Nigerians must overcome their fears and use their natural resources to create solutions and improve their lives.

While addressing the graduating students, he said, “We will not pray our way out of recession; we will plan and produce our way back to prosperity and out of recession and you are the freshest, youngest and most energetic workforce we will have to work with.

“You are the new batteries to power the engine of growth of our country. Your choices must be clear, free from fear, not reckless but driven by analytical thought, questioning and probing and ultimately determined by convictions.”

According to him, young Nigerians must, like their counterparts in developed countries, free their minds from fear, rather than depend solely on spiritual answers to the problems.

You have a cue. Well done. Have you ever wondered how a president processes information before he makes a decision?
How much information can ONE MAN alone process? NO MATTER HOW SMART THAT ONE MAN IS, HE CAN'T PROCESS INFORMATION BETTER THE MASSES COLLECTIVELY.

NOTE THAT THE PRESIDENT IS NOT A BOSS, HE IS JUST A MANAGER SELECTED BY THE PEOPLE. ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.
WE ALL SHOULD HAVE A SAY IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE NATION, HENCE I am creating an information society called iAbuja.

I hope it helps us all.

Keep your good faith in Nigeria.

THE NIGERIA SOLUTION: A MIND RE-DRIVE
Dear Mr. President, I suggest we make the best use of your tenure to fix the basic FOUNDATIONAL PROBLEM to all our problems as an emerging Great Country: the AVERAGE NIGERIAN MINDSET! Here we can fix the many issues of our Country by using 'ONE STONE to kill a thousand birds'.
Let us use the MIND RE-DRIVE STRATEGY. This is by renewing the minds of Nigerians (as many are with respect to Integrity, corrupt) through an AGGRESSIVE value reorientation campaign using all forms of Public and Private Agencies and media; Tv, radio, internet Print media, even the movies, musical artistes etc.
If the President through his powers ( with our Governors and other Political office holders) together with the teeming population can reproduce an 'Integrity' mindset in the average citizen, his work will be made much more easy in fixing Nigeria, cutting down the giant tree of Nigeria problems from its MAIN ROOT.
'Get a person to think of doing a thing AND he will ACTUALLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY do it.' Get the Nigerian person to think of doing the right thing righlty AND he will ACTUALLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY do the right thing rightly.'
Then will we have many 'high integrity persons' almost everywhere, fixing Nigeria. This way, the 'REAL POSITIVE CHANGE' will be deeply entrenched and sustainable for future generations.
A tree cannot make a forest alone, BUT CAN, through reproduction. Just Imagine if every Nigerian was thinking and acting with integrity at the various levels of our society, how our Country will be, Paradise!
If we fix our 'Integrity' values as individuals and as a Country, God helping us; Nigeria will become Paradise! _St. Nom S.
Pls share till it reaches everyone, We can be Great again, even Greater than ever before!!

NEW WORLD ORDER! SIMPLE!!!
