Data annotation jobs in Nigeria: an honest guide.
AI companies pay people to create and label training data. Some of that work is real; some “jobs” are scams. Here is how to tell the difference, and exactly what TrustAm Data pays for today.
Free to join. We never ask you to pay anything.
What you earn
Paid to your own bank account or TrustAm account, no fee, no minimum. Example: one approved hour of work video pays ₦2,800 the next day and ₦1,200 14 days later.
Up to 4 approved hours of work video count per day. All rates and rules
TrustAm pays for recording, not annotation.
TrustAm Data does not hire annotators from this page. We pay Nigerians to record first-person video of their everyday work and to record speech. Labelling is done by our own trained review team. If that changes, we will say so here.

People usually ask.
Does TrustAm hire data annotators?
Not through this page. Today we pay for recording work video and speech. Reviewing and labelling is done by our own trained team.
Is recording easier than annotation?
It is different. Recording fits around work you already do and needs no computer, just an Android phone and a head strap. Annotation usually needs a laptop, steady internet and hours at a screen.
How do I know a data job is real?
A real company tells you its legal name and address, never charges you to join, pays to an account in your own name, and lets you check its website and terms before you start.
