Congratulations Davido! I love your way

$40b is nothing compared to what is going out of the Country daily without due process. I am involved in the solid minerals sector, especially the gemstone sub sector. I know what is happening there and I weep for the Country.

One of the reasons is because many Nigerians are not aware that it is very easy to obtain Export License. Some foreigners are economic saboteurs and Government agencies responsible to checkmate that have all gone for holidays. However, the real culprit is the Nigerian Customs. They don't do their jobs at the boarders. They are only good at terrorizing people inside the Country.

What is all these?
Have we lost all sense of humanity?
Do we still have leaders in this Country?
Where are the statesmen & women?
Where are the men & women of conscience? Where are the so called religious leaders?
What is happening?
Who can save this beautiful Country?

Ah! Statecraft, thou hast grew wings & flew away from 9ja!

Mummysco, I am proud of you! May God give you health & long life!
Seven gbosa for great mummy!

Op weldone. Wow is that easy. How long does it take to get the whole things processed and certificate issued. What next after the certificate is issued.

It takes between 24 hours to 72 hours. What happens next depends on what you want to export, but this is the first requirement for all exports from Nigeria. If it is Solid Minerals, you still need to go to Ministry of Mines for other documentations. If it is Agro Products, you still need some other documents. There are also some products that needs NAFDAC Certificate. So, it all depends on what you are exporting.

Export Permit is the major legal requirement to be obtained before anyone can be allowed to export any product from Nigeria. It is also one of the requirements for Mining License, export of solid minerals and other permits from the Ministry of Mines & Steel Development. This all important document is issued by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council.

Thank you OP

The development of the Nigerian private sector is a patriotic duty for all!

The Solid Mineral Sector in Nigeria is regulated by Law. The mining, buying, selling, trading and export of any mineral in the Country is governed by the Nigerian Minerals And Mining Act 2007.

There is a lot of misconceptions about how to obtain licenses and permits to operate in the Solid Mineral Sector; however, these licenses and permits are very easy to obtain if you have the right information.

To start the business of buying and selling of any type of mineral in Nigeria, you need a License known as Certificate of Mineral Buying Center. The requirements and procedures to obtain this very important permit are discussed below.

Certificate for a Mineral Buying Center is issued by the Department of Artisanal And Small-Scale Mining, Ministry of Mines And Steel Development, Abuja. You can apply by yourself or have an agent process the document for you.

LICENSE FOR MINERAL BUYING CENTER:
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Certificate of Incorporation
2. Articles & Memorandum of Association
3. CAC Forms CO2 & CO7
4. Evidence of Office Address (you can even use you home address)
5. Evidence of Technical Competence (don't worry, your Agent will provide this)
6. Evidence of payment of prescribed fees

The Certificate will be issued to you within two weeks of application or thereabout. The general practice is that agents are paid to process the License; however, you can do it by yourself if you have the time for the follow up. With this document, you can start the buying and selling of any type of mineral you wish to trade on in the Country. See my signature to contact me for enquiries.

Nigeria is blessed with different types of minerals such as gold, silver, lead, tantalite, tin, columbite, mica, kaolin, coal, zinc and glass. Others include tourmaline, aquamarine, zircon, topaz, sapphire, amethyst, ruby, emerald etc. All these minerals are available in large quantities in the Country. The solid mineral sectore can generat more money than the oil sect. However, many Nigerians do not know how to get involved in this highly lucrative industry.

One of the greatest challenges of doing business in Nigeria, especially in the mineral sector is lack of access to information. The non availability of information has lead to a situation whereby only the Chinese, Indians and few others are exploiting the huge mineral resources in the Country; making billions from the sector, while Nigerian citizens are moving from pillar to post.

These minerals are bought for peanuts here, but sold in dollars. Many Nigerians with the financial resources to venture into the buying and selling of minerals do not know how to obtain the licenses and permits required to start the business, even though these licenses and permits are very easy to obtain if you have the right information.

I hereby present to you the requirements and procedures to obtain License to set up Mineral Buying Center in Nigeria. The Certificate for a Mineral Buying Center is issued by the Department of Artisanal And Small-Scale Mining, Ministry of Mines And Steel Development.

LICENSE FOR MINERAL BUYING CENTER:
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Certificate of Incorporation
2. Articles & Memorandum of Association
3. CAC Forms CO2 & CO7
4. Evidence of Office Address (you can even use you home address)
5. Evidence of Technical Competence (don't worry, your Agent will provide this)
6. Evidence of payment of prescribed fees

The Certificate will be issued to you within two weeks of application. The general practice is that agents are paid to process the License; however, you can do it by yourself if you have the time for the follow up. With this document, you can start the buying and selling of your minerals.

Nigeria has a long, but discontinuous history of gold mining. Gold deposits in the Country can be found in alluvial and eluvial placers and primary veins from several parts of South West, North Central and North West Nigeria. Despite the huge reserve of this all import mineral in Nigeria, many people do not know how to go about it. Below is an offer I made to a Nairalander who read my post on gemstones and inquired about gold mining. You can get idea of the investment opportunity in gold mining in Nigeria from the private letter below:

Hi Jay!
Like I told you, it is easier to mine gold in Northern states, than our Southern states. Once you reached an agreement with the Northern Emirs and abaide by it, the subjects fall in line, but in the South, they almost always interfere with your work one way or the other. So, let's go for North for now and for easy take off.

The Abuja Gold Site did not workout because the land is small (2 hectares), and the owner is calling unreasonable price (N60m)

However, I got two Gold sites: one in Niger State and the other in Nasarawa State. The Niger Site is located at a locality where my younger brother is working with a Gold Mining Company. I sent him there to learn the mechanics of gold mining. They use semi-manual method of gold mining and they produce an average of 1kg of gold every week. It is estimated that with mechanized gold mining, 10kg - 20kg of gold would be produced weekly. A kilogram of gold of that quality here is sold for about N12m or thereabout.

I cannot give you an estimate of gold reserve in the Nasarawa Site for now, but a Deputy Director at the Ministry of Mines, who got the site for me told me that it has rich reserve. An accurate estimate of gold reserve in the sites can be obtained after a geo-survey. These two sites are free and the host communities are willing to welcome investors. You can actually obtain licenses to mine them.

*MY OFFER*
I am convinced after the discussion with you last time that you are really interested to go into serious mining venture. Myself, I have been researching the Nigerian Solid Mineral Sector for the past six year, focusing on types and locations, contacts with host communities and Government Agencies, and connecting with other stakeholders. I believe that with my vast field knowledge and wide contacts in the sector, and your access to those with the technical know-how, we can achieve mind bowing success in the sector. I hereby offer you the following:

1. That it is more profitable for both of us to join our individual forces, contacts and resources together in a joint venture; and that I am willing to partner with you in mining of minerals in Nigeria.

2. That I have vast field knowledge and wide contacts in the mining sector, and that I am going to use my connections to get any type of site for any type of mineral we may jointly want to mine.

3. That I work with many Directors and Deputy Directors at the Ministry of Mines, and that I shall be responsible for the leg work of obtaining all necessary Licenses and Permits from any Government Agency as may be required for the smooth operation of this joint venture.

4. That I shall also be responsible for the organization of work at the site, and relations with host communities, Government Agencies and other stakeholders.

5. That you, as an individual, or in collaboration with your partners shall be responsible for financing the mining project from inception to such time the venture starts to support itself.

6. That you, or in collaboration with your partners shall be responsible for logistics for negotiations with host communities, settlement of negotiated terms, legal fees, fees for expert to conduct geo-survey, feasibility report & business plan; and fees for processing of Exploration/ Mining License, Blasting permit and any other permit that my be required by Law.

7. That I am willing to accept the following sharing formula of proceeds:
a. You. - 60%
b. Myself - 30%
c. Host communities & expenses - 10%

*BUDGET OF EXPENDITURE, EXCLUDING THE MINING WORK ITSELF:*
1. Logistics for negotiations with host communities - N200,000
2. Settlement of negotiated terms - N3m
3. Geo-survey, feasibility report & business plan - N500,000
4. Legal fee - N100,000
5. Surveyor fee for data collection (coordinates) and transportation - N80,000
6. Search with Mining Cadastral Office - N20,000
7. Exploration/ Mining License - N700,000
8. Blasting permit - N350,000
9. Miscellaneous - N200,000
*TOTAL: N5.35M*

*CONCLUSIONS:*
1. With N5.35m, we can acquire a site, settle host communities, process the license and blasting permit for handling of explosives, and be ready to start an operation that will last for about 25 years. If however, you wish to acquire the two sites, then the amount will be N10.3m

2. If my offer is acceptable to you, you should appoint a representative here to join me so we can draft an MOU and start the negotiations and processes because it always take time to conclude.
THANK YOU.

NB: I posted this private correspondence with my partner for the interest of Nairalanders who wish to go into gold mining, but do not know how to start. See my Signature to contact me for inquiry.

Brand Name, Patent, Logo, Slogan, Shape and Sound, which differentiates the goods and services of one business from another one is registered under Trademarks in Nigeria.

You can register your Trademarks with Office of Trademarks, Patents And Designs Registry, Commercial Law Department, Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Abuja.

Registeration of Trademark in Nigeria can only be done through an accredited Agent, or you have to go through the process of accreditation yourself. Accreditation is a mandatory process for Law firms, companies, individuals and potential registrants who wish to act as agents.

The market practice in Nigeria is to instruct an accredited Attorney or Agent to file and process applications at the Nigerian Registry of Trademarks, Patents, Designs and Copyright. A Power of Attorney/ Authorization of Agent Form would be completed in favor of such Agent, as the enabling instrument to act for the Principal/ Applicant.

A Trademark may be registered either in black and white, or in color. However, where a Trademark is registered in color, the protection afforded the mark is limited to the colors registered.

After filling the application for the registration, the Registrar issues an official Acknowledgement reflecting the official number and filling date of the Application. A search is then conducted to ascertain the distinctiveness of the application from existing and pending registrations. If the search goes through, a letter/ notice of acceptance will be issued to the Applicant.

Every Trademark Application must be advertised in the Nigerian Trademark Journal, and is open to oppositions for a period of two months from the date of advertisement. If no objections are received, or if received, not sustained within the specific period, the Registrar will issue the Applicant with a Certificate of Registration.

Nigerian Trademark registrations have an initial validity of seven years, and are thereafter indefinitely renewable for periods of 14 years. An Application for Renewal should be made not less than three months from the due date.

The procedure for Trademark registrations in Nigeria takes long time because of the different stages involved in the process. It looks cumbersome to the uninitiated. It is always advisable to use the services of accredited agents for stress free registrations.

Foundations and NGOs are regulated by Law in Nigeria. These Organizations are considered to be corporate entities by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC); and as such the law requires that they must be registered with the CAC under Incorporated Trustees.

Other organizations under this category include: Churches, Mosques, Charities, Associations, Community based Organizations, Social Clubs, Youth Clubs, Women's Groups, Professional Groups and Places of Worship. The normal practice in Nigeria is that an Attorney or Agent is paid to do the incorporation, but anyone with limited budget can actually process the registration by him or herself.

The following is a step by step guide on the registration of Incorporated Trustees in Nigeria:

1. The first step is to do a name availability search with the CAC. If the name is approved, then procurement of Application Form follows. If the name is denied, you simply craft another name and re-apply.

2. The second step is to publish the approved name in three (3) national newspapers, one must be a local newspaper widely circulated in the area where the Organization is based.

3. The third step is to create a Board of Trustees (if not in existence) Foundations and NGOs, or any other organization registered under Incorporated Trustees is supposed to be governed by a Board of Trustees.

4. The fourth step is the submission of the duly completed Application Form in triplicate, which should be accompanied by the following:
i) A formal letter of application.
ii) The original newspaper publications.
iii) Two (2) copies of Applicant's Constitution.
iv) Minutes of the meeting where the Trustees were appointed, having the list of members present and absent; and showing the voting pattern, signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Board.
v) Minutes of the meeting where the Special Clause rules was adopted into the Constitution, signed by Secretary and Chairman.
vi) Trustees have to attach two (2) passport photographs each.
vii) Trustees have to sign against their names on the Application Form, with their respective permanent residential addresses.
viii) The impression of the common Seal should be affixed on page 11 of the form.
ix) Evidence of payment of prescribed fees.
x) The Application Form should be duly signed by the Secretary and Chairman of Board.

5. Step five is that all documentation is then reviewed by officials of CAC, and if there are no queries, the Foundation or NGO, or any of the organizations under this category is registered with the CAC and issued with a Certificate of Incorporation. A situation may arise where there are queries. What you simply do is to correct what you are asked to correct and resubmit.

6. Due to the level of documentation involved in the registration of Incorporated Trustees in Nigeria, it is always advisable to use the services of an Attorney or Agent to make it stress free. For inquiries or assistance, see my Signature to contact me.
