If you want to trade the gold price itself
This site links to an account with FxPro, an international broker. Gold is quoted there as a contract for difference, which means no metal is delivered, weighed or stored. The account is not a way to buy gold in Nigeria; it is a way to take a position on the world price in dollars. Opening an account requires identification and takes a day or two.
