How Can Nigerian Programmers Find Genuine Remote Jobs?

I’ve been a programmer for nearly eight years, but every remote role I apply for rejects Nigerian applicants. I tried data-annotation platforms and even used a US number, yet the verification still got me kicked out. Outlier didn’t let me pass the verification stage either. LinkedIn listings always ask if I’m legally allowed to work in the US, so I never get through. What strategies do remote developers in Nigeria use to land legitimate opportunities? Where do you find listings that accept international applicants without complicated work-authorization requirements?
