If you are looking for a way to earn some extra money online in Nigeria, then online surveys and other small online tasks can be a good option.
There are many sites that offer this, BUT most of them are a waste of time. To get anything out of it, you need to make sure you join the sites that are actually worth it.
In this article, I will, therefore, show you 11 awesome paid surveys in Nigeria.
All of these sites are legit and pay you without problems, and they are, of course, free to join.
If you do not live in Nigeria and have ended up on this page, you can instead check out the lists of best sites in other countries.

How are the opportunities for taking online surveys in Nigeria?
There are hundreds of online survey sites, but the amount of opportunities depends a lot on the country you live in.
So how are the opportunities then in Nigeria?
Let me be honest with you and say that it is not the country with the most opportunities compared to some of the big English-speaking countries.
In fact, it can be challenging finding good survey sites in Nigeria – this does, however, not mean that there are no good options.
There are many sites you can join but that just does not give you many surveys (if any). But there are also some great survey sites with decent opportunities if you live in NG.
Below I have put together a list of the best of these sites so you do not have to waste your time testing hundreds of sites.
But before getting to the list, let’s first go over how you can use survey sites to earn the most.
How to earn the most?
There are a few things you need to know to get the most out of paid surveys in Nigeria.
One of the things is that you will not qualify for every survey that is available. That is just how survey sites work.
So when you join the sites below and might disqualify for some surveys, do not give up right away. This will happen and on some of the sites, it sometimes takes a bit of patience finding the ones you qualify for.
But after a while, you will be able to figure out what types of surveys you have the best chance qualifying for and then you can just focus on these.
A very important tip to earn the most is to be aware that some of the sites offer other earning methods than only paid surveys.
It can, for example, be to watch videos, take micro-tasks, take offers, play games, and more. The sites that have these other options as well are called GPT sites (get-paid-to).
By using some of these other earning methods, you can really boost your earnings.
Finally, all the sites have different opportunities and offers. Therefore, to get the most chances of earning, you should join several sites.
I recommend joining 5-7 sites at first to get a good amount of options but still have the time to get to know each site.
Then you have good chances of making some extra cash on the side. Just be aware that taking paid surveys is NOT a way to become rich in Nigeria or something you can do as a full-time job.
It can make you some extra cash on the side, but if you expect to become rich or find a full-time survey job, you will be disappointed.
11 best paid survey sites in Nigeria
Below you can see a list of the best online survey options in Nigeria.
It is, as mentioned, not a complete list of all sites available here, but instead a quality list with the best sites that are actually worth it.
The list is regularly updated as I test new sites, so make sure to bookmark this page and come back and check it once in a while.

Surveyeah has it own survey site for Nigeria and it is very easy to use. You just sign up and will then get email invitations for surveys.

WowApp is an interesting option as it has many ways to earn and offers some ways no other sites on the list have.
You can get paid to take surveys, read the news, call and chat, get cashback when shopping online, take paid offers, and more.
In Nigeria, it can take a bit of patience finding the best ways to earn on WowApp and get to know how to use it – but it can be worth the patience with its many options.
#8 – Cointiply
Payout methods: Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies
Payout threshold: $3.50
More information: Read full Cointiply review
Short summary:
Cointiply is only relevant if you are interested in earning Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. If you are, then this site can be a great way to earn this in Nigeria.
It has many methods to earn. Some of them take a bit of patience, but you can always find ways to earn there. You can take surveys, use a Bitcoin faucet, there is a miner, a multiplier game, you can click ads, and more.
Once you have earned $3.50 you can get a payout. But if you keep your earnings in your account longer, you will earn interests.
#9 – FeaturePoints
Payout methods: PayPal, Bitcoin, gift cards
Payout threshold: $3
More information: Read full FeaturePoints review
Short summary:
FeaturePoints will not have a huge amount of paid survey opportunities in Nigeria but because it is so user-friendly, it is still on this list.
In addition to taking paid surveys, you can earn by watching videos, participating in free contests, and downloading apps. You should definitely make sure to use some of these different methods to get enough earning options.
You can get paid very quickly, as you only need to earn $3 to get a payout. If you join through the link below, you will use an invitation link which will give you 50 free points right away.

Short summary:
Rewards1 is a fairly unknow GPT site but with some patience it can give some decent earning opportunities in Nigeria.
You can earn by taking surveys, watching videos, taking offers, invite friends, and more. The more active you are, the more benefits you also get as a member.
Rewards1 has the most flexible pay options of the sites in this list as it offers payout via PayPal, it has hundreds of gift cards to choose from, you can get game codes, and it even has a custom reward if you have specific wishes.
#11 – Triaba
Payout methods: PayPal, gift cards
Payout threshold: $7
More information: Read full Triaba review
Short summary:
Triaba is a simple survey site with few available surveys. But it has its own survey site for Nigeria, so as an extra site, it can definitely be worth joining.
Once you are a member, you do not really have to log in to the site very often. Only when you want a payout. The surveys will come to you via email invitations.
You can get your earnings out through PayPal or gift cards when you have earned around $7. Because of the limited options on Triaba this can, however, take a little time.
That was a list of the best paid online survey sites and GPT sites for Nigeria.
You will see many sites with longer lists but often they have just listed all the sites you can join but not the ones that actually give opportunities in Nigeria.
This list instead is a bit shorter but I have put a lot of effort into trying to create a list that can help you find real options.
So I hope this list helps you find some good survey and GPT sites to earn some extra cash.

Can i transfer from my paypal to my local bank a/c?
yes, you can
How can i create a paypal account and does it require money for that?
PayPal is free to sign up for and you go to their website to sign up.
How can I register my Nigeria account to cash out money from paypal
You can look through the comments here. There are some people that share how that should be possible.
Can any of these survey site pay money directly to my Bank Account without PayPal, I still want to know if any of the survey site pay their customers on daily basis, please give me the names of those survey site.
You can see on the list above which payout methods the different sites offer. But Timebucks offers payout into your bank account via Transferwise and WowApp also offers bank payout.
Hope this helps.
You can only use PayPal for purchase in Nigeria, you can’t receive payment.
Some say it is possible – you can look through the comments here and see some have found a solution.
How often will i recieve surveys? and Which sites sends more surveys to nigerians?
how often you will receive surveys will vary from site to site and from time to time. Also, it will depend on your demographic profile. So there is no exact answer for this.
The best sites for Nigerians are the ones at the top of the list above.
Please how do I create a postal code
your postal code is a part of your address.
But by home postal code is invalid when I try to sign up in hiving
then you need to contact their support
I have done so many surveys but I didn’t see any pay.
If you have managed to actually complete the surveys and reach the payout threshold, it should not be a problem to get paid. If there are problems like this, you need to contact the site you have been using as it then might be a technical problem.
Postal code for Nigeria…234000
If your country has not postal code, you may use four zeros (0000) as your postal code.
GOD BLESS U ALL RICHLY
Thanks
Please show me an example of an valid postal code
What about super pay me
Superpay.me is a great site – but just not really for Nigeria.
This site is working
great to hear
Hi Mikael, HSD!
I tried registering for the Time bucks survey platform but it constantly tell me that I’m not allowed to sign in using vpn/proxy. Is it because I’m using free Operamini data (50 mb daily)
Please help!
#Staysafe
#stayathome
do not know Operamini – bit if you are using VPN/proxy they will not allow you to register. So you might have to contact your provider and ask about how to disable this.
But how will I do it if am not using free MB data from opera mini
you do not need any particular device to be able to join the sites mentioned above
This is quite revealing it’s really okay for those who want to make mo ey onli e steadily.thanks for sharing the info.

How do I earn money from this survey site
For each of the sites above, you can see a link to a full review of them. That describes exactly how each of them work.
is postcode home address,I base in Lagos and entered 100001 … it’s not valid
I do not know why that is – you need to contact the site itself if you have technical problems like this.
I think the postcode should be 100242
Is survey time and mobrog really real in Nigeria. Can payment enter my PayPal account without no entering of my credit card details
Yes, they are real in Nigeria. You need a verified PayPal account so you need to check exactly how you get that in NG by contacting PayPal.
Please I don’t know what is a post code and i don’t have one. And most of this site listed ask for it.what do I do about it
your postal code is a series of numbers or letters that show where you live. So it is a part of your address.
Hello. I have done about 3 surveys now on survey time but my account has not been credited. Do you know what the problem could be? Thank you.
First of all, you need to complete the survey. If you complete a survey you will get the earning right away. If this does not happen, it is a technical error so you need to contact Surveytime’s support about this.
How do I start completing the survey am new here please
For each of the sites above, you can see a link to a full review of them. That describes exactly how each of them work.
Please set an example of a valid postal code
how best can wowapp be used
You can check out this full tutorial of WowApp. It explains everything about how it works.
Opening PayPal account in Nigeria is almost impossible o…. How can I do that
You have to contact PayPal about this.
Please how do I cash out or get my payments on featurepoints
Once you have earned enough, you just go to the cashout section and click the reward you want.
I still don’t get what I need
How much can one make weekly,if consistent on those site for a week and are those site on play store
It is really difficult to say anything precise about. It depends how many sites you join, how many surveys/tasks you qualify for, how much time you invest, and more.
But you just need to be aware that it is not a way to make a living or anything near a full-time income. But it is a free method and can give some extra cash on the side.
Any other stuff that can give one much a full time income,
There are ways to make a full-time income online. But you need to be aware that it will require a lot of hard work, patience, and at least a bit of investment for the right tools and training.
But you can check out this article about a possible way to make a living online. Just be aware that there is no quick fix or easy solution when it comes to making money online. You need to do it with realistic expectations.
Hello Mike, I really would like to know how to you fill out the short profile survey especially during or immediately after completing sign-up. If you can still possibly email me on the reply, I will also really appreciate. Thanks.
You just need to answer them honestly – if you then do not qualify that is just how it is. That happens for all of us often when we try to take surveys. So just be honest and join several sites – then you have the best chances of getting the most surveys.
The Post code for Nigeria is+234
It’s the number you see in front of your phone number for text message
What about swagbucks , please does it pay Nigerians?
No, Swagbucks is not available in Nigeria.
That’s a lie, SWAGBUCKS Is available in nigeria. I do it
If you are using Swagbucks in Nigeria you are using a VPN or something else to hide which country you are in. This is fraud and goes against their terms and when they will detect it they will ban your account and you will lose your earnings.
I have checked with Swagbucks many times which countries it is available in and it is NOT available in Nigeria.
Lol. That’s not true. Swagbucks really is available in Nigeria. I’ve earned like 35 SB already. You can confirm it yourself bro
I apologize – I just checked and it seems that they just recently opened for most countries but until recently it was only open in 8 countries and was not aware of the change. But it is still only in the 8 countries it was also available in before that it has good opportunities and in most other countries it has very limited options. But you are right that you can now join from NG and thanks for making me aware of this change.
Am from Nigeria.. Which of this survey really pays… Because I have try so many and its not working… Thanks
I have only listed sites that really pay above. All of them are legit.

Yes, they do. All the sites on the list above are legit if you just use them honestly.
I have a paypal account but how can i receive
If you have problems with PayPal or want to know more details about how to get it to work in Nigeria, you need to contact PayPal’s support.
please does survay time pay to your paypal account monthly only?
Surveytime pays instantly after every survey you complete.
how come it tells me to claim my payment april 6 thats almost like a month plus i cant get my payment in my paypal
which site are you referring to?
I am experiencing same. After completing a survey, I received a mail saying I have been paid only to tell me to claim my payment by April 16. I really do not understand. I think it is a scam.
Are you referring to Surveytime? Because I have been paid by it many times myself and never had any problems. If you have problems with it, you need to contact their support.
GOD bless you with more wisdom and knowledge in JESUS MIGHTY name AMEN,,,,tanx for sharing your knowledge.
You are welcome. Glad you like the information
Thank you Mr Mikael!
You are welcome
Can i send money from PayPal to skrill and vice versa.
No, not as far as I am aware.
Hi Mikael, thanks for the info.
I don’t have problems signing up on PayPal but I think the downside is that it doesn’t allow the option to receive.
And again, outside survey what other activities can one get paid from, because from the look of things surveys don’t come up frequently and please specify on the platforms that pay for other activities outside survey.
Thank you again.
Many of the sites offer different ways of earning as doing tasks, social media tasks, watching videos, downloading apps, etc. You can read the full reviews of the different sites through the links above. All of the different earning methods are described in detail in the reviews.
Hope this helps.
Please I’m having trouble updating my account for payment option on Timebucks, because I’m choosing the bank transfer option, I’m having trouble adding my local bank account number on transferwise
you should contact Timebucks’ support about this. They will be able to help you.
I am having issues completing surveys from Surveytime, pls Mikael what do I do?
it depends on what kind of problems you have. If it is technical problems, you need to contact their support. You can see the contact info in the review above.
I was made to understand that PayPal only sends but don’t receive cash in Nigeria. Please help out
If you check out the comments below here, you can see several people saying it is possible to receive through PayPal in NG as well now and how to do it.
http://www.paypal.com/ng click on that link and create your PayPal account. For Nigerians. Its quite straightforward. The restrictions on Nigeria have been lifted.
Thanks for sharing this Bobby. That is great to hear
Please, what can we do to make Nigerians participate in Triaba? I would love to hear from you shortly. Thanks
There is not as such anything you can do to get more surveys. Triaba does not always have many surveys so there is nothing to do other than to wait until they have some. That is why it is good to sign up for more sites to get access to more opportunities.
Please does the account receive payments too? Or is it only for shopping and sending money.
Thanks for the information. However, triaba isn’t registering Nigerians. Have tried severally.
Strange to hear Grace. On their website, it says they have a panel for Nigeria. Did you try writing their support?
Thanks for the info. I shall try some of them to see if they will accept Nigerians. I have joined several of them but most times surveys will not be available.
Remember that many of the sites also offer other options than just paid surveys. So if you have a hard time qualifying for the surveys make sure to also use some of the other earning methods.
I’ve tried all the sites, can’t get signed up…could you help me sign up for one that actually pays well?
Are you from Nigeria and tried to sign up for all the sites on the list? What error did you get since you could not sign up? All of them are available there so if you give me a bit more information I might be able to help you.
Pls does it needs referring people before cashing out
No, you do not need to refer people to be able to cash out.
Have u personally registered on this site and is it paying you?
Not sure which specific site you are referring to. But I have personally registered for all the sites on the list above and have also been paid by them.
In Nigeria or elsewhere?
I have not registered from Nigeria if that is what you mean. But I have had a lot of feedback from people, talked to some of the companies behind some of the sites about how much they offer in Nigeria, and more to be able to put together a list like this. I have put a lot of effort and research into being able to put together a list of sites that actually have opportunities in Nigeria as it is not that easy to find.
Hope that answers your question.
I will like to know how to create a PayPal account here in Nigeria.
s far as I know you go to PayPal’s website where you can create an account. If that does not work, I would suggest you to contact PayPal and get a specific answer from them. And feel free to keep me updated about how it goes.
Mikael
Thanks.Nigeria is not on the list for. Triaba. Please I still need more.Love you.
On Triaba’s website, it shows Nigeria is available. If you have problems with registering, I would suggest you to then contact their support. Feel free to keep me updated about how it goes.
Thanks,
Mikael
Why is survey time only desktop,if I press the link it keeps going back to the same place
You can also use Surveytime on mobile. But some surveys are just only for desktop.
Please how can I get a paypal account that can pay me in Nigeria.? I am in globalalat.com and PaidNews.ng.com. But yet to cash out.
Go to PayPal’s website and then you can create a free account there. If you are having any problems with it, then try to write the PayPal support.
Hope this helps.
Mikael
I am a nigerian.
Its pretry difficult having a verified paypal account in nigeria..but there is a way around it.
Send me a mail on XXXXXXXXX

Hi Alfred,
Great to hear you know a way. But I do not allow email addresses to be posted here as I have no way of verifying where it goes to and want to make sure to protect my readers. But if you want to share your advice here publicly it would be great. Or feel free to send me an email with more info.
Thanks,
Mikael
Please how is it possible
Can we receive money through PayPal in Nigeria. How?
If you go to PayPal’s Nigerian website, you should be able to just simply create an account there.
Wow..
Easier I was able to create a valid PayPal account
Thanks Mike
That is great to hear.
I am also in Nigeria and just crate PayPal account which is very easy so why can’t you do that? Any ways, am here to help go to PayPal.com or https://www.paypal.com/welcome/signup/#/email_password click that to fill
thanks for sharing that
Hope this link creates a paypal that receives cash too cos from nigeria paypal only sends.
The problem isn’t just creating a PayPal account but having an account which not only sends
but can also received funds. That’s the issue most people encounter creating a PayPal account from Nigeria. Any help with that please?
How can I turn my SB on Swagbucks to real cash that I can receive in my bank account or other means rather than PayPal because we can only make payment via PayPal in Nigeria but can’t receive payment via PayPal, thanks.
Swagbucks also offers prepaid MasterCard and many other rewards. So you just have to go through the reward methods it offers in your country and choose the one that fits you.
but do you receive money on your paypal account? Creating the account is easy but receiving money is the issue. Can you help?
Am having problem in filling all because of the postcode
If you have problems with registering on a specific survey site, you need to contact their support.
PayPal does not pay in Nigeria.
I have heard that from several people – but when looking at PayPal’s site, it says it is available in NG. That is why I suggest contacting PayPal’s support. And to contact the specific survey sites and hear what they do in these cases.
