Can't receive funds after verification

I work for Directly, a remote online company. I actually opened PayPal business account because that was the only option for me to access my money. I got paid $1072 and I'm yet to receive payment. I actually thought the problem was from Directly but then i had a friend try to send money to my PayPal account and he was told that the recipient can't accept payments right now. That's weird. I verified my account and linked my card to it of which i got charged. I'm from Nigeria but the available country i saw when i opened my account was Lesotho, so i used that. But a got a Visa card for it. How do i get my money cos i really need that to pay off my debts?

The option to 'receive' paypal payments on a Nigerian Paypal account is sadly not available.
You can only 'send' payments for purchases.

Also you can't try and bypass that by opening another countries paypal account as you can't use or verify another countries paypal account.

The thing is, i got paid by Directly but PayPal acted like they received no funds. No email, no text, no nothing. It's like the money never came in but it did. I can't even see it in my account, it's not there. And i really need that money. How do i resolve this?

What part of you CAN'T RECEIVE FUNDS to a paypal account in your country did you not understand??

Even if you are using a Lesotho paypal account which can receive funds you CANNOT USE THAT COUNTRIES PAYPAL ACCOUNT IN NIGERIA.
