In Nigeria, you can make money from these 5 ways online:

Create a YouTube channel or blog

This is a good money-making avenue if you love to create content. You can make a video of your content and upload it on YouTube or you create a website (blog) write your content and publish it. You monetize the sites with Google Adsense to make money, sell your merchandise or make money from a sponsored post.

Write and publish books

As a Nigerian, you can publish your books, short stories, or reviews on sites like Okadabooks and Amazon kindle. You can monetize your books or publications so that you get paid whenever anyone read or download your books
