Paid surveys in Nigeria: answer real surveys and get rewarded
Plenty of sites promise money for opinions and pay nothing. On Cordelia, each survey is posted by a real business or researcher, and the reward is written on the survey before you start. Students, graduates and anyone with a phone can take part.
Cordelia is a Nigerian platform where businesses and researchers post surveys and pay the people who answer them. Open a survey, see the reward first, answer honestly, and get paid in points, airtime, a gift card or by bank transfer, depending on what that survey offers. Public surveys do not need an account.
Why people use Cordelia for paid surveys
You see the reward first
Every survey shows what it pays and how it is paid before you answer a single question. No surprises at the end.
Paid into a Nigerian bank account
Where a survey pays by bank transfer, you give your account details when you submit. No dollar account, no PayPal.
Airtime and data-friendly rewards
Some surveys pay in airtime sent to your phone number, so a few minutes of answers can go straight to your own line.
Gift cards
Where a survey offers a gift card, it is sent to your email after your answers are approved.
No account needed for public surveys
Open the link, answer, submit. Create an account later only if you want a wallet and more ways to earn.
Real surveys from real businesses
Surveys come from registered business accounts on Cordelia, each with a reward the business has set, not from sites that collect your details and disappear.
Surveys that match where you live
Some surveys inside the agent dashboard are for people in particular states. Keep your state up to date in your profile and the ones meant for you show up.
A wallet if you want one
Create a free agent account and your survey earnings sit in a wallet you can withdraw from on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
How to start earning from surveys, in four steps
Open the list of surveys
Go to the open surveys page and look at the reward, the topic and who it is for.
Answer honestly
Take your time. Surveys that look rushed or copied can be rejected, and a rejected answer is not paid.
Choose how to be paid
Pick from the reward types that survey offers: points, airtime, a gift card or a bank transfer.
Get paid after approval
The business checks your answers. Once they are approved, your reward is sent the way you chose.

| Many survey sites | Cordelia | |
|---|---|---|
| Knowing the pay | You find out after you have spent time on screening questions. | The reward is shown on the survey before you begin. |
| Getting paid | Dollar balances, minimum cash-outs you may never reach, foreign payment methods. | Points, airtime, gift cards or a Nigerian bank transfer, depending on the survey. |
| Who is asking | Unnamed "partners". | A registered business or researcher on Cordelia. |
| Signing up | Long forms and profile surveys first. | No account for public surveys. An account is optional. |

Made for students, graduates and side-income seekers
University and polytechnic students
Use free minutes between lectures. Many surveys are short, and you do not need data-heavy apps to answer them.
Final-year students
Earn from other people's surveys, and when your own project is ready, post your questionnaire so others can answer it. See the final-year project survey page.
Graduates waiting for service or a job
Add a small, steady income. Agent accounts can also take paid field work, which pays more than a survey.
Anyone with a phone
Parents, traders, drivers and workers: if the survey is for you, you can answer it.
The details, plainly
| Cost to answer | Free. You are never asked to pay to take a survey. |

More on surveys and earning
Questions people ask
Are there paid surveys in Nigeria that really pay?
Yes, but not every site that says so does. On Cordelia, each survey is posted by a business or researcher who funds the reward, and the reward is shown before you start. Your answers are reviewed, and approved answers are paid.
How can I earn money answering surveys in Nigeria?
Open the surveys page, pick a survey whose reward you are happy with, answer it honestly, choose how you want to be paid, and submit. After the business approves your answers, the reward is sent. Create a free agent account if you want a wallet.
Do I need an account to answer a paid survey?
Not for public surveys. You open the link and answer. Some surveys are only for Cordelia agents, and those need a free agent account.
Can I get paid into my Nigerian bank account?
Where a survey pays by bank transfer, yes. You enter your account details when you submit. Wallet money for agents can also be withdrawn to a bank account on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with a minimum of ₦1,000.
How much can I earn from one survey?
It depends on the survey. The business sets the reward and it is written on the survey page. Short surveys pay less, longer ones pay more. Cordelia does not promise a fixed amount.
Can students answer paid surveys?
Yes. There is no school or age-group requirement unless a particular survey asks for one, for example "final year students" or "people in Lagos". Those requirements are shown on the survey.
Why was my survey answer rejected?
Usually because the answers looked rushed, repeated or copied, or the survey was answered twice by the same person. Take your time and answer only once.
What is the difference between a survey and an agent campaign?
A survey is a set of questions you answer online. A campaign is paid field work, such as visiting a shop or sharing a link, done as a Cordelia agent. Agents can do both.
Is it safe to give my details?
Only give the details a survey asks for, such as an email for a gift card or a bank account for a transfer. Cordelia never asks you to pay to take a survey. If anyone does, that is not a Cordelia survey.
