Get Paid to Stalk People Online? Here’s How This Nigerian ‘Professional Creeper’ Is Making It a Career

The Job of Stalking Your Ex for Money? Here’s How Adebayo Turned It Into a Legit Career

So, there’s a job that involves stalking people online for a living. Yep, you read that right. It’s called Social Media Surveillance Specialist, and it’s basically a glorified job description for “keeping tabs on your ex’s new bae, but for money.”

Meet Adebayo—a self-proclaimed professional creeper who gets paid to do exactly that. But before you think, “Wait, this is real?”

Let’s take a second to let the absurdity settle in. Yes. It’s real.

A Day in the Life of a “Digital Private Investigator”

You might imagine that a day in Adebayo’s life involves some intense snooping, but it’s not all about creeping on Instagram stories or screenshotting shady DMs. No, no, no. Adebayo’s job is way more serious than that.

Picture this: Corporate clients, brands, or even influencers, hire Adebayo to keep track of online sentiment, public perception, and here’s the kicker—their competitors’ social media moves. Essentially, Adebayo is a cyber detective, but without the trench coat or magnifying glass.

“Imagine you’re launching a product, and you need to know if your competitor’s influencer is posting random nonsense or if it’s a calculated marketing strategy. I’m the one who digs it all up.”

He’s not just browsing memes or stalking exes—this is high-stakes digital espionage. One moment he’s analyzing TikTok dance challenges to figure out what’s hot in the streets, the next moment he’s analyzing who made it to the top of the Instagram influencer charts by looking at their posts, likes, comments, and follower patterns. If you can’t beat them, hire Adebayo to check out what they’re doing wrong—or right.

The Payoff (Literally)

Let’s talk money. You might be wondering, “How much do you make for stalking people online?” Well, in Adebayo’s case, it’s not pocket change. It’s a solid, 6-figure income—and no, not the type of “6-figure” you see in your friend’s WhatsApp status after they’ve sold four beaded bracelets at the market. We’re talking about real money.

Adebayo pulls in enough cash to flex on Instagram (you know, the usual “check out my new whip” posts) and still has time to sit in traffic on Third Mainland Bridge—because even stalkers can’t avoid Lagos traffic.

The Skillset (For Real?)

So, what do you need to become a Social Media Surveillance Specialist? Let’s break it down:

1. Cyber Sleuthing Skills: You need to know how to search without leaving a trace, or as Adebayo calls it, “being invisible like when your aunt asks for your phone and you quickly click off the gallery.”
2. Attention to Detail: You have to spot trends before they’re trends. “It’s about knowing if a celeb’s ‘random’ tweet is a hint for an upcoming Netflix deal or just a bored moment in traffic.”
3. Psychological Warfare: Understanding human behavior online is a must. Adebayo likens it to “knowing if someone is really into that random influencer they’re commenting on… or if they’re just passing time while their Wi-Fi loads.”

And here’s the real kicker—patience. Stalking someone’s online activity is not a rush job. You gotta wait for the right moments. It’s like playing chess, except it’s social media checkmate.

Is This Really a Job or Just Vibes?

It sounds like the ultimate hustle, right? But let’s be real for a second—could this be a job that anyone could do, or is Adebayo just working off some crazy energy?

Here’s the thing: Adebayo’s job isn’t just about spying on random people for fun—it’s about understanding how people interact with the online world. And with the digital age here to stay, it’s a skillset that more brands are investing in.

Is it unconventional? Absolutely. But it’s also relevant. We’re in the era where everything is online: your relationships, your business, even your secret crush. So why wouldn’t there be someone professionally monitoring all of that?

Final Thoughts: Should You Try It?

Honestly, if you’ve ever wondered if your social media stalking skills could make you money, now’s the time to start thinking about it seriously. Adebayo’s got the receipts (literally), and his job proves that there’s more to being online than just posting a selfie and waiting for likes.

Next time someone asks you why you’re so good at creeping on Instagram, just tell them you’re preparing to be a Social Media Surveillance Specialist—and, who knows? Maybe that’ll be the next big hustle in 2025.
