Does that mean you are unable to request money in your specific country

And am i still able to receive money

The option to 'receive' paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
You can only 'send' payments for purchases.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.

Hello @abdallafarag,

Thank you for visiting the PayPal Community. I am sorry to hear that you are receiving this message. Based on the information that you have provided, it appears that you reside in a country that is eligible to receive payments. You may view this information here: https://www.paypal.com/eg/webapps/mpp/ua/residence-full. To have the ability to receive payments in your country, you must have a business account. If you currently have a personal account, I recommend that you close the account and create a new business PayPal account. This will allow you to have the ability to receive payments. Please let us know if you have any further questions. 

Thank you for your time and I hope that you have a wonderful day!
