The option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
They can only send payments for purchases funded by a (confirmed) credit card.

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.
