So I'm about to set up local bank transfer, I have a question though. On Upwork, I only have my first and last name but on my bank account I have first, middle and last. How should I set this up? Will adding a middle name to the bank account bit affect my account?

Gys, is it possible for a Nigerian Upwork account to get accepted? I have tried repeatedly changing my skills, but they are still rejecting my application. I want to know if I should give up entirely or if there is a chance of getting accepted.

Hey, I am David...

This is a personal opinion, but I think Nigerians are facing so many challenges in the online space, most of which we have decided to amplify by ourselves and our actions.

I also think we (freelancers) are being chased up and down by administrators of these sites because we have chosen to do things the easy way, which is as a result of our smart nature as Nigerians.

I think it is possible to open an upwork account with Nigerian details and get accepted (even if it might be hellish to do so), but as Nigerians, we hardly want to attempt it over and over again till we get it right, when we can get an easier version with some of the steps listed on this thread.

I am a graphics designer (a very good one at that), but I have been rejected by upwork about two times over, because maybe I was not through with my approach, but going through the few pages of this thread, I lkke to assume that it is very possible to be accepted into upwork with entire Nigerian details.

If there is anyone that has had success at this, signify, and give us your working methods so Nigerians would have a clean alternative to getting approved on that platform, and clear some of this bad air hovering around the Nigerian tag name on the internet.

I need to make some freelance money too...

Help a brother. My pidgin tight die, aspa edo boy wey I be... Lol just help. Let's be clean with this approach.


No matter how they try to position it, setting the bar incredibly high for Nigerians is bare-faced discrimination. Not just discrimination based on nationality but also racial discrimination. I wonder why a company would look at the mass of the largest collection of black people in the world (170 million strong), and decide that no good can come out of the country.

Bloody racists!!! They have no right!!! As if their success as white people wasn't because they enslaved black people and exploited our resources through colonialism. Useless people.

I'll probably send this to their support team so they'll know how racists they are!!! angry angry angry angry angry angry

Hello Fam, has anyone withdrawn money via Payoneer lately? I learnt they've been deactivating the "send money" function for some users. Would anyone know if Upwork users were affected? Secondly has anyone used the Paypal Upwork withdrawal in Nigeria? I'm thinking of channelling my funds through it for my next withdrawal. Any downsides besides the obvious marginally lower exchange rate?

Methinks you're being paranoid. I don't think anyone has singled out Nigerians to be discriminated against but rather, the site is wisely trying to manage the population of freelancers it has to make the site a reasonable workplace for both lancers and clients. I for one registered with my full Nigerian details about a year ago and got approved with zero fuss. But times have changed and there has to be a workable balance. I have a friend who's a Chartered Accountant living in Canada that tried to register and got rejected. You just have to look at Freelancer.com to understand what I mean. Within two minutes of making a job post on Freelancer, you'd have at the very least, 50 (I'm not exaggerating) applications from mostly Indians and Pakistani's. It's not just the overwhelming number of applications but the fact that 97% of the applications will come from India and Pakistan and it's stifling talent from lesser populated regions. I bet if Upwork were to be left open, we'd stand no chance against the Indians and Pakistanis who are undoubtedly skilled in various fields. Quora is currently facing similar problems with Indians and Indian topics overwhelmingly dominating discussions as a result of what can best be described as patriotic Upvotes. I believe the need to strike a balance between the number of job seekers and ensuring a healthy spread of applicants is what's behind Upwork's now more frequent rejections. If you can't find your way in, you just need to find a way to deal with it. This chant of racism is becoming stale.

My allegations of discrimination might be unfounded, I'll try registering with a foreign profile using the same account details to see if they are truly discriminating against Nigerians. I'll get back to you with my findings. Discrimination means that human beings are not being treated equally.

Regardless of a person's country of origin or his skin color, if he is rejected because of his country of origin, discounting the skill he has to offer, then it's discrimination.

You can use your Mastercard to pay, even PayPal. But, your first transaction might be delayed for about 3 days because you will have to provide some identification documents. If you are stuck at any point, you can contact support. You will also receive the money in your local bank account.

Forget this stuff you are talking. What is more racist than going to get work in Nigeria and being told "you are not an indigene of this place so you cannot be employed here?"

Or being told you cannot gain admission to a university because you are not an indigene? Or going to the National Emergency Management Agency headquarters and the official language in that place is Hausa? In a federal parastatal that is to respect Federal Character?

There is no racism you will experience elsewhere that is worse than the INDIGENOUS RACISM as practiced right here in Nigeria. So stop whining about Upwork and their people. There was a time Nigerians were not even allowed to register a profile there, talk less of getting it approved.

Racism is everywhere. It is here in Naija and every other place. Deal with it.

I think it's easier for you "insiders" to easily scoff at an outsider's lament about discrimination. After all, you're already enjoying the proceeds. The fact that there is discrimination everywhere doesn't negate the fact that it is morally unjustifiable.

I actually have both Nigerian and US account activated on upwork.
This is the secret of upwork I am giving freely, because I have also learn alot on this platform.
Upwork requires genuinty, starting from your IP location, to ur description, let your description be perfect with no Grammer error or wotever. Fill all required fileds appropriately.
Take the test even while waiting apporoval; it shows you are serious.
Don't forget your profile pix give it the best.
