The Internet is a swell idea. Has the internet been with us so long and yet we have not mastered it? One of the good things about the internet is that it gives you the ability to own a mobile office and so location is not the problem cos you always show up for work as long as you're connected to it. A lot of people wish they would not have to leave home everyday to work and still be making the money that they make from a full time employment.
Suppose your full time 9 - 5 hours job earns you about $4000 a month and you could find a way to earn this income from the internet in the comfort of your home, wouldn't you just love it. I mean, it gives you much more time for leisure and to do the other things you love. There are other several reasons why people would prefer to make money online without solely depending on their full time and highly stressful job;
Reasons why people like you would want to make money from the internet:

To become more independent
To earn extra money
To feel more secure and less scared about losing their job
To acquire new skills or improve on them
To be able to teach others how to
To adapt to the new age

My last point there about adapting to the new age is important. This is the internet age and the way we live is changing. It is not just about how we do business but also how wee socialize, communicate or contribute to our own society. The internet is taking over and it is like saying to us "ADAPT OR DIE". To learn and master the art of making money from the internet is a necessity for surviving in this age. Even people in developing countries are learning fast how to use the internet and monetize it. Check out countries that were far back a couple of years ago but are equally learning very fast like China. Developing countries too like Nigeria and Ghana are growing too and a lot of people there are even patronizing broadband service for their businesses and personal use.
How to make money from the internet
The internet is a platform that can connect you to the world. It is like a market place where people can buy and sell, pay and recieve payments and companies too exist for profit even only in cyberspace. Right now we even have internet companies who make money from the internet only selling virtual stuff like ebooks, flowers, cards, online magazines and other services.
To make money from the internet, this is what you need

Website - If you seriously want to make money from the internet, you will need a website. This will help you in the long run as it will maximize whatever income you will be making online.
Traffic - You need to have people visiting your site. How do you do this. You can do it by advertising on Google adwords or optimizing your site on search engines so that they appear on top of search result pages.
Product/Service - You need to be able to provide something that people will need. These things may inclued stuff like mp3, videos or just information. If you've also got services like web hosting, domains registrations, web designs, making reviews on your blog, S.E.O., or other. If you don't have any product or service you can offer, you can also make money online by referring other people to sites that do. You will be doing this as a sales affiliate and receive a commission when you make a sale.
Optimize - If you are already making money from the internet, don't just rest there or you maky also find yourself dropping. You need to increase it by using the advantage that you already have to increase your income. Find out the things that are making you money and improve your strategy to make more.

There are many other ways to make money from the internet but if you follow the steps i have give above, you can learn how to make more money from the internet.

Well, Charles, I f you would really like to start making money by blogging in Nigeria, perhaps it will be better if you tell us the website where you have a blog first and then people can contribute on how best to make money from it.

One way I would suggest you start making money from blogging is to blog about for e.g. MTN, Cell phones or Nigerian movies. You should post at least 500 blog posts each with at least 500 words and you would definitively start making money within 3 - 6 months

Charles, what you need are the right topics or niche to blog. It can be hard if your topics are not interesting to the general readers. Popular topics can get you more money from Adsense. Again, you need to do some SEO on your site such that it would rank high on search engines like Google and Yahoo

It is one thing to set up a blog and another thing to know what to write about. Since you may not exactly be good in Seo, why don't you just focus on writing about tech stuff like computers, laptops, phones, Internet and others in this area. Those are really what brings in the money. Health topics are also good if you can have a blog about that.

How much will it cost to set up a complete blog related to a niche including the hosting and domain name. Also are they any Nigerian web designers offering custom wordpress templates?

My best advice to those who don't know about setting up a blog is to contract it out to a web or blog designer. All you would need is the cash. Getting a blog designer to set up one for you could cost you around N15,000 to N20,000 for their services.
