How to Make Money Online in Nigeria – 10 Proven Ways to Earn Daily

The Internet and digital transformation have made it easier for Nigerians to earn money online. This goes both ways, legally and illegally. While the illegal way, otherwise known as “Yahoo Yahoo” has been glamorized due to the flashy lifestyle these internet fraudsters live by, driving expensive cars, shutting down clubs, and other vices that our society glamorizes due to the economic hardship. This is usually short-lived, as most of these fraudsters either end up in jail, dead, or back to being broke when the maga (client) stops paying. This is the case for most people who follow this part to riches, as most don’t have any skillset and investments, or in some cases, all their properties, money, and cars get confiscated by the government when they get caught by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The time and energy that are used to deceive “clients” of their hard money could have been used to gain a digital skill or otherwise.
