If you’re looking for a way to earn money online as a website or app tester, here are four major platforms that support testers in Nigeria:

Test.io

Utest.com

Testerwork.com

Digivante.com

These platforms provide opportunities to test websites, mobile apps, and software. Your location usually doesn’t matter unless the customer requests localization testing (where apps are tested based on regional settings or demographics).

Lets start with Test.io

Among these platforms, Test IO is one of the easiest to register and start earning quickly. After signing up, you’ll need to pass a few introductory certifications, but don’t worry—they’re simple and help you understand the basics of testing.

💰 Payment: Testers withdraw earnings through Payoneer, and payments are made mostly on the 13th of every month.

How to Sign Up & Start Earning:

1. Visit Test IO and register.
2. Fill in your basic details (name, country).
3. Add your preferred testing devices (e.g., mobile, desktop)—if you skip this, you won’t receive job invitations.
4. Select the operating systems and browsers available on your devices.
5. Complete introductory training modules (they’re easy and help you get familiar with bug reporting).

Once onboarding is done, access sandbox projects—practice tests that prove your testing skills. If you complete the sandbox project, you’ll start receiving job invitations via email almost immediately.


Types of Testing Jobs & Earnings on Test IO:

On Test IO, testers earn money by reporting bugs or verifying others' reports. Below are the main ways you can earn:

1. Exploratory Bug Reports (💰 $3 – $7+ per issue found)
When a company requests testers, you’ll receive an email alert about an available project. You must claim the test immediately, as spots fill quickly.

🛠 A typical job may ask you to:
Follow specific test cases (instructions from the company).

Explore the website/app freely to find unexpected errors (this pays more).

💡 The best part? You can report as many unique bugs as you find—and get paid for each one!


2. Bug Report Reproduction (💰 $0.30 – $0.60 per reproduction)

If you struggle to find bugs yourself, you can reproduce other testers' bug reports.

🔄 How it works:
Copy the steps of another tester’s report.

Follow those steps to confirm the issue exists on your device.

Submit your report—you’ll be paid once the original report is accepted.

✔ Reproductions are easy, making them great for beginners who need time to learn how to find unique bugs!

3. User Story Execution (💰 $0.25 per verification)
Sometimes, customers want testers to verify specific features instead of searching for bugs.

📌 Example:
The company asks you to check if clicking a button works correctly.
You simply click the button, take a screenshot, and submit the report.

If the button behaves as expected, you still get paid!
✅ User Story Execution is perfect for new testers who need something simple while getting familiar with testing jobs.

✅ No matter how slow you are, there’s a way to earn on Test IO—whether by reporting bugs, reproducing other testers’ reports, or verifying basic app functions.

Tips to succeed as a tester on Test IO:

Always claim tests fast, as slots fill quickly.
Improve bug descriptions and attach clear proof (screenshots/videos).

The more reliable you are, the more invitations you’ll receive.

If you’re ready to start testing, Test IO is a great first step!



I think we should stick with only Test.IO for now. It is very beginner friendly. If you have any questions please let me know. Am willing to assist. Thanks

Let’s be honest—music is everywhere. You step out of your house in Lagos, and before you reach the main road, you’ve already heard three Afrobeats hits, an old Fuji classic, and somebody testing their speaker with loud amapiano. I won’t lie—I love music too. In fact, I analyze lyrics like I’m about to submit a PhD thesis on Wizkid’s discography.

But despite my love for music, I had to reduce my listening drastically. Why? Because once you let music colonize your brain, you might unknowingly turn your solat into a remix session.


1. Music Hijacks Your Mind—Even During Prayer

If you’ve ever tried to pray, only for your brain to suddenly start humming the latest viral song, congratulations—you’ve been musically possessed. 🤦🏽
Example? Imagine you’re peacefully reciting Surah Al-Fatiha in solat, then suddenly, your mind interrupts: "Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem…" "She tell me say na money dey make am fine…"
Next thing you know, instead of Inna atayna, you're about to accidentally say Lilafi Quraish and mix up Quranic verses with Davido lyrics. At that moment, even your guardian angel is confused.


2. Music Keeps You Far from Allah

Allah encourages us to remember Him frequently—ponder on His words, recite Quran, make dhikr. But let’s be real: music is very seductive to the ears. Instead of reciting Subhanallah after solat, your brain tells you: "You’ve listened to Quran for two minutes, now let’s balance it with Burna Boy for two hours."
And just like that, music occupies your mind while pushing remembrance of Allah further down the priority list.


3. It Becomes an Addiction

Music is designed to be mentally addictive—especially modern beats that are scientifically crafted to trigger dopamine (your brain’s "happy hormone". Once you start listening, you want more, and before you know it, you can’t function without music playing in the background.


4. Music Influences Mood and Actions

Music subtly affects your emotions and behavior. Ever noticed how listening to slow, emotional songs can make you feel sad for no reason? Or how a hype song makes you want to go to the gym (even though you’ll probably just lie down afterward)?
Now imagine you’re supposed to be reading Quran and reflecting, but instead, your mind is replaying that heartbreak song from five years ago. That emotional shift pulls you away from the spiritual clarity you need.


The balance between love of music and ones connection with Allah is tough, but the rewards of focusing on Allah far outweigh the momentary pleasure of a catchy tune.

May Allah give us the strength to resist, or at least stop turning our solat into an accidental playlist shuffle. Ameen. 😅

Kaido:
No wonder Islamic suicide bombers scream alahukabar before the booooom sound. ☹️

Hmmm. Whats the purpose of the scream of ‘Allahukabar’ if i may ask

Anyways i no kuku post am for una debaters sha. I hope someone like me finds the post when they type it on google. Thats my initial purpose. Una debate no consign me.

Make the person try am see if e go work or e no go work

HeatSeeker:
But you'll admit that only the sufis practice this form of prayer among the Islamic faithful.

I had no idea that one sect has the monopoly of Allah’s name. Names that wasn’t invented. If u read the quran you will find within surahs ayahs where Allah mentions his name. Reciting those names is called Dhikr.

Where the debate is are in the numbers of time since Allah isn’t a computer. But in my case i used number as a threshold since you have to recite the names several to gain the benefits

AntiChristian:
Abeg na who send you message to recite this?

A. Allah

B. Muhammad (salallahu alayhi wasalam)

C. Your Ustadh/Sheikh/Muridh, etc.

D. Your own self (Nafs)

E. None of the above then answer below

…...........................

I am not a scholar and the post is for sensible people who understands the distinction between types of bidah. And most importantly people who are desperately in need of transformation in their lives. Instead of taking substances this approach is far better.

I would even recommend using timer instead of a using of number of times but repeating these names of allah does work.

HeatSeeker:
Are you a sufi?

Nope! But reciting Allah’s name repeatedly does work wonders. I use them to be more productive.

If you are always weak all the time and lack energy to engage in daily activities, recite this two names of Allah and Insha Allah you will be surprised how hyperactive you will be throughout the day. Even if yo are skeptical, try it and see.

Ya Hakeem (The Most Wise) - you can recite at least 500 times (i recommend more though)

Ya Mateen (The Firm One) - also recite this name at least 500 times. Mostly in the morning after fajr prayer.


****Please stop turning helpful posts into a debate… I am not here to debate. I am posting helpful tips because the youths are in desperate need of Allah’s help. And when you recite allah’s names he will surely answer you.

In every marriage, there is usually one partner who is naturally patient and kind—the person who lets things slide, avoids unnecessary arguments, and just wants peace. But the problem with being the “nice one” is that people start taking you for granted, assuming you will always adjust, always compromise, always tolerate.

Maybe their husband constantly forgets anniversaries, and they just smile and say, “It’s fine.” Maybe their wife never considers their opinions before making big decisions, and they nod along, pretending it doesn’t matter. And their partner? They think: Wow, I hit the jackpot! So understanding! So kind!

Then, one fateful day, dem go switch. Maybe na when you use their bathing soap finish and drop empty container. Or when you collect the biggest meat for pot without respect. Or when dem don sweep house 10 times, and you dey add another wahala.

In the blink of an eye, the nice person has transformed into a ruthless strategist, a strict lawmaker, an emotionally awakened warrior. Before you know it, the quiet one don turn philosopher, motivational speaker, and justice ambassador for fairness in relationships or even dictator sef.

Lesson: No Carry Love Do Yeye

Whether na husband or wife, abeg no take kindness for granted. Because when the switch happen, e go loud!
If your spouse dey quiet, just respect am small before dem wake up one day as chief commander of house rules.

Guys. This scam is usually done by family members and people close to you, not a guy from far away.

I have tested it myself and confirmed you can open a level one account without verification using just your sim the victim’s bvn and the fintech’s app.

The only way you will know the fintech is aware is when you navigate to the profile/settings section where you will see the second account which belongs to the true owner of the BVN

Ever gotten weird calls about repaying a loan you never took? Or worse—money vanishing from your account? Welcome to the BVN scam, where fraudsters borrow loans linked to your identity without you knowing.

🔥 How It Works:

> Someone opens a fintech account using your BVN (without your consent).

> The system links it to your existing bank profile.

> Over time, they build loan credit and borrow big.

> They vanish. Guess who gets chased for repayment? YOU.

🔑 How to Protect Yourself:

✅ Keep your BVN & NIN private—don’t share with anyone.
✅ Check your bank & fintech profiles for suspicious activity.
✅ Turn on security alerts and enable two-factor authentication (2FA).
✅ Report any weird transactions ASAP to your bank.

🔴 Stay alert. Guard your identity. Don’t let fraudsters wreck your finances!

I came across this YouTube video where one young guy in his 20s dropped out of school, claiming his brain no dey absorb academic materials again. To make things worse, the guy talk say he wan move out of him parents' house to "take life seriously." The YouTuber yarn sharp advice: *"Take advantage of your mama's food and go back to school!"* Honestly, truer words have never been spoken.

See ehn, adulthood no be beans. If you still dey house, dey chop your mama rice and stew, and she still dey pay your school fees, my guy, wetin be your rush? Adulthood na premium scam. Las las, everybody go collect, so why you dey rush to carry hardship for head when life still dey soft for your side?

Dropping out of school in this kind condition na like abandoning free jollof buffet to go hustle for crumbs on the street. Why you go dey struggle to pay bills for early age when you fit dey secure better future.

Make I burst your brain: if you move out of your parents' house, your "roommates" go be NEPA, DSTV, gas.

Some people go comot from parent house because dem dey feel like say dem don mature or dem wan escape wahala. Example na guys wey their parents dey discipline small. Dem go go rent one small apartment to prove say dem fit hustle. Fast forward few months, bros go go back go house hungry, dey hug mama Egusi pot like say na him long-lost babe.

As elders dey talk: *make hay while the sun dey shine.* If you still get sponsor wey dey carry your matter for head—whether na mama, papa, or well-meaning uncle—abeg, hold dem tight. Go back to school, collect your education with confidence, and save that hustle energy for later. Rushing into adulthood na like jumping inside deep swimming pool without float. You go struggle, you go almost drown, and you go wish say you no try am.

So my dear youths: If your mama food still dey hot and her roof still dey shield you from rent wahala, chop life jejely. Go school, finish am, whether you go use degree or not or book enter or not. Adulthood no dey run—e dey wait for everybody, no need to hurry.

Sometimes people don’t take things seriously unless they are committed financially.

They lack focus and jump from one mentor to the other unless a payment is made.
