We can't just go digging on the land without the locals, we would sure involves the state as all lands belongs to the state and then the immediate local communities, what we want is state resource control or complete federal resources control not one state controls what or we need a list of resources states can control, if states control solid minerals then Enugu gets to control her coal too and other minerals yet to be discovered, so we need to know the metric why some states are controlling their minerals while fed gov control some

It is easier said than done... The process is so long and considering the non challant attitude of our political elites, it make take years to be achieved

All I need is to mine in my land in Enugu and show the the people that I mined, I never dreamed to be a miner, let the government do their worst, injustice to the people is the worst form of injustice, my Enugu state is even better off at least they are no longer mining the coal here so it makes sense but the state is almost moderate not really financial buoyant If we are in control at least we can sell these, for us our environment is intact but you can't say same of some oil producing states, let the FG take over all valuable minerals or let every state control their resources. I know for sure that there are some things that the governor of my state can not do to me, I pass through his house many times in Oba Nsukka, there are some things he cant do to a state citizen but for the federal they can do and undo, that's why we need state resources control because they are also part of the environment

That's why I said you should involve your political elites..

You can't fight a government, not in Africa...

You will not only be the one that will be affected with the aftermath but the community you are fighting for

I am from Enugu and I can say that coal is abundant in Enugu.. we had to dig 3 different wells before having access to clean water in the Village.

Most of the well have a lot of oily fluid and smells awkwardly. I could mine coal in my backyard, my house was built on coal, some of my Dads farm land experience stunted growths due to the non compatibles of the soil because of the presence of coal.

Here in UGBAWKA, children stone each other with coal particles while playing because its is really shallow and could be mined with simple tools as hoes..

So are you suggesting I get into politics because that's the best way to affect fast change in a democracy, because you cant just involve your elites, unless you are rooted in the system. Besides the political landscape in the country so far is terrible, some leaders are just choiceless. How can you fight someone who is allotted an oil well, he is richer, can win you in most angles

As you can see it is complicated... That's the main reason I have been advocating for effective state assembly...

Nice info, let's get making moves, first thing is to determine the current price of coal then research available market, even if it means getting a state contract, most of which payment will be after delivery, we try first, if our state has right to control such minerals, why is it wasting away when it can solve labour crisis and better the economy, Enugu particular had been dormant because I know the natural gas on Anambra is somehow in use, coal is not as useless even currently, there is market for it

Well let's try first, I'm going to research in my state to find means to partner with the government in mining those and converting into private energy generation.

The only short cut to go about this is to lobby at the state assembly for bills mining the coals... Still na long process

Its really a nice initiative, and I am very much interested but would only go through the legitimate means not because am afraid of going into illegal mining but for the love of my community.

You can't just lobby in the assembly if you are not a member or got some people there, I'm 25, not qualified for most government offices but I'm a business man and really looking out next thing to invest on and energy seem to be in high demand but having to go through the state house is nearly impossible for me now, and the raw material is here,

Oga please stop discourage these vibrant, hardworking youth that want to change things for better, They already know that there would be challenges and it is normal someone has to take a step, as far as is their state they have every right to engage in exploring their God given resources,.

We get discussing about it, we will most likely follow legitimate process but we need to get on, the fact is that we got these resources and we should only need the approval of our state and immediate community, we shouldn't be looking at these things if the country is run the right way, but we got something that can keep us employed and in the next 50 years these things could become useless, we need to find ways to innovate on what we got transform it to not loose value over time, these things will only happen if we are granted access to it, I will tell you if you mine a cup nobody will talk, if you mine a full will Barrow nobody will talk, if you mine a truckload that's when they will begin to talk, we go with a cup then on and on before we get to the truckload, we should Already have people in the system too, we are going legitimate but we need to start bring out days when we hike and search find out what more we got

Try your luck bro, most people you see here will tell you how dangerous it is, let me tell you, immediately you start, the first people that will show up is the local government people for tax, if you can sort them out and can continue paying your tax to them, they will take their eye off you, before the state government get to know it, the hole community and people outside the community would have been working as labourer and supervisors, by that time It will be hard for government to stop it, because it now a community powered venture. Thats my take and that's how it's been run it the north.

Where do you stay in Enugu, Am a student of UNEC but am currently not in the state, but might likely come back next month. When am back, we might visit the office of the state commissioner for solid mineral or its equivalent... We would also check how profitable the business would be, the available market and surely government would have their own cut of the revenue. I just want it to be legitimate and I don't have the strength to be running from pillar to post when shit hit the fan.

Another thing is finance, we need finance and a whole a lot of it for equipments. drop your contact and I will reach out to you

AlexBells:
Since other states are Mining Gold and the Rest, Enugu should start Mining our coal before the coal becomes useless globally. I'm only talking about Enugu because I can only talk about my state for now, other states should wake up. My state is not poor, Enugu is not poor, with our coal we can start a power generation company for the state.

Any body in Enugu ready to mine coal should contact me, we will source contact to black markets in China, they buy coal from North Korea. Let my state government be foolish enough to come arrest me then the Federal Government too can do whatever they want.

What is good for Zamfara is good for Enugu. What is good for Zamfara is good for Niger Delta, What is Good for Zamfara is Good for South West, What is good for Zamfara is good for Everyone else, enough of the cheats resource control should be for everybody or nobody.

If you are in Enugu and wish to mine coal and sell or use it to generate electricity and more, let me know. We are not just going to go hunting for coal in Enugu, we will also look for other resources. SERIOUS People only.

I'm interested

I stay in both Achara Layout and Mount, We will go through the processes, I will DM you, reply the DM, the part of checking the revenue and all of that is important, we would also use the opportunity to search for other minerals, financing won't be a problem, let's work on the approval first, once we get the approval, we can start with little, but the approval certificate would help us in getting investors, but I know that there is local market for coal and you never can tell what else we could find.
