These platforms pay people to rate AI answers, write, check code, transcribe and work in their own languages. You work as a contractor, when there’s work, for pay that varies by project. We only list platforms that accept people living in Nigeria, either by their own country list or from recent reports by people here who got paid.
Before you start
“Confirmed” means the platform itself lists Nigeria or says it hires worldwide. “Reported by workers” means people in Nigeria say they were accepted and paid recently, but the platform doesn’t publish a country list.
9 platforms
Experts and generalists rate and improve AI answers in their field, from coding and finance to medicine and writing.
AI training projects for experts and language speakers, including Yoruba and Igbo, hired through a recorded AI interview.
Freelance AI trainer projects, with Yoruba and Hausa language specialist roles open worldwide.
Formerly TELUS International AI
Part-time rating of search results and online content, plus Nigerian language and English (Nigeria) tasks.
Appen

Transcribe audio in English, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, paid per audio minute, weekly.
Welocalize

Contracts training AI models on code, function calling and STEM problems, for experienced developers and specialists.
RWS

Mercor pays through Stripe and Turing by bank transfer. The account must be in your legal name. For dollar wires, use a domiciliary account.
micro1 pays through Deel. From there you can withdraw to a Nigerian bank, Payoneer or a dollar account app.
Offered by GoTranscript and CrowdGen. Free to open; you pay a fee when you change dollars to naira.
Since 27 January 2026 you can link PayPal to a Paga wallet and withdraw in naira, but people report frozen accounts and some platforms refuse Nigerian PayPal accounts. Pick another option where there is one.
TELUS Digital pays through Hyperwallet. We couldn't confirm withdrawals to Nigerian banks, so check before you put in many hours.
More on dollar accounts, fees and tax in how to get paid from a remote job in Nigeria.
Upwork and Fiverr are open marketplaces where you find your own clients, not AI training platforms, and both work from Nigeria. Upwork pays out to a Nigerian bank ($0.99 a withdrawal), Payoneer or wire, not PayPal, and you buy “Connects” to send proposals. Fiverr pays out through Payoneer ($30 minimum) and keeps 20% of each order.
Paid freelance, contract and part-time work posted by companies and people, checked for region locks and scams. Updated every few hours.

Companies building AI models pay people to write and rate answers, check code, compare responses, and record or transcribe speech. You work as a contractor on projects, usually paid by the hour or by the task.
No. You're a contractor on the platform, with no salary or contract of employment. Projects open and close with little notice, and some weeks there's no work. Treat it as extra income while you look for a job.
They don't accept new workers in Nigeria. Outlier's working location policy (July 2026) doesn't include Nigeria. Remotasks closed to Nigeria in March 2024. Mindrift stopped new sign-ups from Nigeria on 12 November 2026; existing accounts aren't affected. DataAnnotation appears limited to a few English-speaking countries and pays only by PayPal. Prolific, Rev and Handshake's MOVE programme don't take people in Nigeria either. We'll add them if that changes.
No. Every platform bans it, and you lose the account and any pay owed. Accounts sold in WhatsApp and Telegram groups are often stolen or already flagged.
None of the platforms listed here charges you to join, train or get paid. Anyone who asks for a fee, a deposit, a “slot” or payment for training is a scammer, even if they use the platform's name.
Welo Data has Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa talent pools. Invisible has Yoruba and Hausa roles, GoTranscript takes all three for transcription, micro1 has posted Yoruba and Igbo roles, and TELUS Digital has run Hausa and Fula projects.
Mercor pays through Stripe to a Nigerian bank, Turing pays by bank transfer, and micro1 pays through Deel, which can withdraw to a Nigerian bank. GoTranscript and CrowdGen pay through Payoneer.
