Facebook Monetization requirements in Nigeria 🇳🇬 (2025)
Are you a content creator in Nigeria dreaming of turning your passion into income? Facebook has made it possible for Nigerians to monetize their content and earn directly from their creativity. Whether you make videos, go live, or create engaging Reels, there are multiple ways to start making money on the platform. But before you cash in, you need to know the requirements and eligibility rules.
To begin, you must be at least 18 years old and own a Facebook Page (not just a personal profile). Nigeria is already an eligible country, but you’ll also need to follow Facebook’s Partner Monetization Policies, Content Monetization Policies, and Community Standards. On top of that, two-factor authentication must be enabled on your account.
For In-Stream Ads (video ads), your Page must have at least 10,000 followers, 600,000 total minutes viewed in the last 60 days, and at least five active video uploads that are three minutes or longer. Only original content is accepted, and this feature is fully available in Nigeria.
Facebook Stars is another way to earn, where fans support you directly. To qualify, you need at least 500 followers, consistent video or live content, and content that follows community standards. This option is also available to Nigerian creators.
Fan Subscriptions are more exclusive and mostly invite-only. To be eligible, a Page should have either 10,000 followers or 250 returning viewers, plus 50,000 post engagements or 180,000 watch minutes in the last 60 days. Access is still limited in Nigeria, but select creators are already using it.
Reels Ads Monetization is gradually rolling out. You must post original Reels consistently and follow monetization policies. Some Nigerian creators have been invited already, while others are waiting for full access.
To check if your Page qualifies, go to Meta Creator Studio, click on Monetization, and select your Page. Facebook will display your eligibility status for In-Stream Ads, Stars, Subscriptions, or bonuses if they apply to you.
If you want to speed up the process, focus on posting original videos regularly, encourage likes and shares, use Facebook Live often, avoid copyrighted material, and stay active by replying to your audience’s comments.
In conclusion, monetization is no longer out of reach for Nigerian creators. With consistency, creativity, and adherence to Facebook’s policies, you can turn your content into a reliable source of income this year. Start creating today and position yourself for success in the digital space.
