How are the opportunities for taking online surveys in Nigeria?
There are hundreds of online survey sites, but the number 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 to find good survey sites in Nigeria – this, however, does not mean there are no good options.
There are many sites you can join, but they just do 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 thing is that you will not qualify for every survey available. That is just how survey sites work.
So when you join the sites below, and might get disqualified for some surveys, do not give up right away. This will happen, and on some of the sites, it sometimes takes patience to find 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 of 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 a good chance 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.

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.
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.
This is not true. The restrictions are still there. Use other means to collect your earnings
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.
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.
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.
