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 16 awesome paid surveys in Nigeria.
All of these sites are legit and pay you without problems, and they are, of course, free to join.

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 to find good survey sites in Nigeria – this does, however, not mean that 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 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 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 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.

Short summary:
Honeygain can be a way to earn a bit of extra cash online completely passively from Nigeria. However, it is not a site for everyone.
You will earn by sharing your unused internet, so it is only relevant if you have an unlimited and fast internet plan. If you do, it can be a very easy way to make a bit of extra money.
Once you have earned $20, you can take your earnings out via PayPal. But since that is not available in Nigeria, you have to use the crypto JMPT to get paid. You do not need to reach a threshold to get paid that way. And if you join through the invitation link below, you will get a $5 joining bonus into your account right away.

More information: Read full Swagbucks review
Short summary:
Swagbucks is one of the biggest and most popular GPT sites and I am often asked if it is available in Nigeria. And it recently opened up so it is.
However, the reason it is not higher on this list is because it does not yet offer a lot of opportunities in Nigeria. So it will take some patience to earn here.
But as an extra site, it can be worth checking out and it definitely is a legit site.
Payout methods: Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies
Payout threshold: $3.50

Short summary:
SwitchedON is one of the only survey panels specialized in paid surveys in Nigeria and is therefore definitely a site you should check out.
You just need to sign up, click the email you get to confirm your want to participate, and you can then start taking surveys.
You can earn cash, airtime, or gift cards. The exact reward will vary from survey to survey, but you an always see the reward before you start a survey and choose the surveys you want to take based on this.
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.
If you have any comments, questions, or know of any great paid surveys in Nigeria that are not on the list, then I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Ooh my …. Thank you sir
Thank you for the information sir
My concern is the payment method, PayPal is not allowed in Nigeria, are there no sites that use opay
Use gift card and find a vendor to redeem it
Thank you sir for the update. Please PayPal is not allow in Nigeria can i use my uk PayPal to cash out in Nigeria survey. Please sir i need your answer. Thank you sir
Most of these survey sites doesn’t pay Nigerians, it’s specifically for the west like USA, Canada and the likes, I know this cause I have tried this for months and was denied, even had to get a strong VPN to hide my location but it still didn’t work, I feel so bad when people come and write what they are unsure of, and end up deceiving people.
The sites on the list above are definitely working in NG. And if you are using VPN you get banned, so that is likely why it is not working for you.
