How OgaJobs works — your money is safe until the work is done.
No advance payments into strangers' pockets. No chasing pros for refunds. You fund the job, we hold it, the pro delivers, you release. That's the whole handshake.
The service journey
Your journey, step by step
Whether you're hiring a pro or getting hired for your skill, the road runs through escrow. Here's exactly what happens, in order.
- 1Post your job
Say what you need and where you are — a generator that won't start, a 3-bedroom deep clean. Posting is free.
- 2Pros raise their hands
Verified OgaPros near you see it instantly and express interest, each with a price and a word or two.
- 3Compare & choose
Check their reviews, distance and KYC badge. Haggle like you would at the gate — then lock your price.
- 4Pay into escrow
Your money goes into OgaJobs escrow — held safe, not sent to the pro. They see it's funded; they can't touch it.
This is the step that protects you. The platform holds it. No wahala. - 5The work happens
Your pro shows up and does the job knowing the money is already waiting — no I'll-pay-you-later stories.
- 6You confirm
Happy with the work? Tap confirm from your phone. Not happy? Raise it — the money stays held while we sort it.
- 7The pro gets paid
The moment you release, funds move to your pro. Leave a review your neighbours will actually read.
- 1Sign up & verify
Create your profile and pass a quick KYC check. The green verified badge is what makes clients pick you.
- 2Browse jobs near you
Your feed shows real jobs within your radius — 1.2 km from you — with the budget in plain sight.
- 3Express interest
Raise your hand with your price and a short pitch. I fit come this evening wins more jobs than silence.
- 4Win the job
The client picks you and funds escrow before you lift a finger. You see the money is held — guaranteed.
Funded escrow means you never work and then beg to be paid. - 5Do the work
Show up, do it well, snap your proof photos. Good work compounds — your reviews travel down the street.
- 6Get paid into your OgaWallet
Client confirms, funds land in your OgaWallet that same moment. Every kobo tracked, every job receipted.
- 7Withdraw to your bank
Move your earnings from OgaWallet to any Nigerian bank account whenever it suits you.
More ways to earn
Three more hustles, same safe handshake
Selling goods, running deliveries, or onboarding your community — each has its own path, and wherever money changes hands it waits in escrow until the buyer is satisfied.
- 1List your products
Add what you sell with photos, price and stock. You set every price; OgaJobs never does.
- 2A buyer places an order
Buyers nationwide browse your store and order. You see the order land with quantity, delivery address and total.
- 3Payment held in escrow
The buyer pays up front — but the money sits with OgaJobs, not in your account yet. You know the order is real and funded.
Funded escrow means you ship knowing the money is guaranteed. - 4You confirm & ship
Accept the order and send the goods. Mark it shipped so the buyer can track it to their door.
- 5Buyer confirms delivery
When the goods arrive as described, the buyer confirms. Not right? It stays held while support sorts it out.
- 6You get paid
On confirm, the money is released into your OgaWallet, ready to withdraw to your bank.
- 1A delivery request appears
Requests near you show up with route and load — Epe Timber Market to Ajah. Pick the ones that fit your vehicle.
- 2You quote your fare
Name your price for the trip. You decide the fare — OgaJobs never fixes it. The customer compares and chooses.
- 3Accepted — fare held in escrow
Once they pick you, the fare goes into escrow, locked. You roll out knowing the money is already secured.
No more I'll-pay-you-when-you-arrive stories. - 4Pickup
Collect the goods at the pickup point and start the trip. The customer can follow the delivery's progress.
- 5Drop-off
Deliver to the destination and mark it delivered. Snap proof where it helps.
- 6Buyer confirms, you're paid
The customer confirms delivery and the fare lands in your OgaWallet — with auto-release if they go quiet.
- 1Sign up as an agent
Register with your details and coverage area. A quick verification and you're set — no products, no van needed.
- 2Get your agent code
You receive a unique code and share link. Send it on WhatsApp to the pros and suppliers you already know.
- 3Onboard people in your area
Help plumbers, cleaners and traders sign up under your code — the ones who need a hand getting online.
- 4They get verified
Each person you brought passes KYC and becomes an active pro. That's what counts toward your earnings.
- 5You earn a bonus
For every approved pro on your roster, a bonus is credited to you. The more you onboard, the more it adds up.
Paid per verified pro — your network is your income. - 6Withdraw to your bank
Move your bonus earnings from OgaJobs to any Nigerian bank account whenever it suits you.
The trust centrepiece
What escrow actually means
It's the digital version of giving your money to a trusted neighbour to hold. When you pay for a job, the money doesn't go to the pro — it sits with OgaJobs, locked, where neither side can grab it. The pro sees it's real and gets to work. You see the work and release it. The platform holds it. No wahala.
