Hmmm... I'm sure the government is very much aware

I never knew that that the North have such great quantity of gold deposits. If not for the gang wars and killings in Zamfara, we wouldn't know that they have been enjoying their own mineral resources alone, without bringing it to the table so that everyone will have a share as it is done concerning the crude oil from the south

they have diamond too,when I tell people the northern part of Nigeria is heavily blessed,they don't believe it.....

emyrald91:
What is wrong with the North? So the South East illegally mines sand and soil? like sand and soil, Mined illegally?
Afonja news

Illegal mining of sand and laterite, hahaha. By the way I didn't see illegal mining of skull

They're doing mine that illegally if they do. Legally Nigeria does mine other previous stones like rubies, sapphires, garnet, amethyst etc.

Blue3k2:
Instead of being ignorant why not look up NBS stats. All the legal mining data is available to you. Mining is done by private companies in nigeria. Again you're ignorant hypocrites mineral revenue is shared. Why you clowns pontificate on topics you know nothing about is a mystery.

Why do ijiots continue to be ijiot. So sand is now solid mineral abi?

Is it not funny that those mining their gold are still the ones against restructuring? Even when they have already activated resource control.
They share in your oil and they too are going on bombing local refineries in Niger Delta.
Oh you Ijaw, Igbo and Efik man, when will you wake up?

Lol youre so ignorant its hillarious. Wow your village education is showing. Yes sand is a solid mineral its listed and taxed. Ask any geologist if you dont understand why. Why you ignorant people comment on matters you dont understand is a mystery.

Using your clown logic we should count stones like granite since they're rocks. They're no longer solid minerals.

What is Sand?

The word "sand" is actually used for a "particle size" rather than for a "material." Sand is a loose, granular material with particles that range in size between 1/16 millimeter and 2 millimeters in diameter. It can be composed of mineral material such as quartz, orthoclase, or gypsum; organic material such as mollusk shells, coral fragments, or radiolarian tests; or rock fragments such as basalt, pumice, or chert. Where sand accumulates in large quantities, it can be lithified into a sedimentary rock known as sandstone.

So the SE are blessed with sand and laterite soil which are being illegally mined. The government should do the needful by stopping them, at least income from exporting them would boost our foreign reserves

Who knows if theirs oil on my dads land which is opposite oil well 3 while I dey here set suffer

You blame your ignorance for that

not them

There is a reason we have a minister in charge of solid minerals

And this ministry gives out licences to people to mine (if you have been to Abuja, you will kniw about some Chinese firm that mines in the outskirts)

these mining licences do not come cheap, and be assured that the govt is getting their own cut from the mines

BUT

just like illegal oil bunkering and refining in the deep south

illegal miners have crept into the scene for some years causing mayhem


All these due to govt failure


So that notion up there is wrong and lacks merit

I don't know about rubies but I'm sure you will see the rest in jos mining sites.

Your mother will die young amen.

NORSYK:
What are they mining in Ihiala?

Sand o! Aja upa

Bizibi:

The rubies are in Kano. You're right about plateau.

Blue3k2:
Lol you hypocrites are funny. Illegal mining is ok when you do it. We understand you want to steal now just do it without the moral grandstanding.



Solid mineral revenue is shared stop being ignorant.

and the gold mining in zamfara, zabo river in minna Niger state... Also caco2 in nafada and funakye areas of gombe state... We know ooo

NEITI further stated that five other states including Plateau, Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu and Zamfara were among the leading destinations for illegal mining activities across the country.

Hatred will kill some people. And they are abusing North. So they are among those who are not remitting money to the federation account.

Nice work on listing Gombe, this should be reported to police. Theres menaces is far and wide. They need to step up their efforts like Ghana and arrest all offenders.
