PayPal has different policies for different countries and when verifying or confirming a PayPal account in Nigeria, the way you go about it depends on the country involved. Accounts from Europe, America, Asia or Africa have their quirks and knowing about them is the only way you can run a PayPal account in these countries without a problem.

This article is to open the eyes of Nigerians, especially to the mistake of opening an account and expecting to use it without first discovering the issues behind each country they choose to select.

PayPal account based in African countries.

Apart from a few African countries like Ghana, Nigeria, and some trouble spots and those blacklisted by the US government for political reasons (Sudan), many African countries can have a PayPal account. But the problem here is that most if not all of them can only send and not receive cash to your PayPal account.

Many Nigerians have thought that since we cannot have a PayPal account in Nigeria, we have to open an account in other countries. But if you really want to do this, avoid African based accounts because you will end up with an account that is useless in my opinion. If you can only send money to others and never receive money, there is really no need to consider that type of account, especially when 90% of Nigerians who need PayPal want it in order to earn money online with it. I have many requests to help fund an account only to find out during the transfer that “this account cannot receive cash.” So I have to tell them and they have to go open an account in another country.
