Transferring money to a friend

I wish to assist a friend in Nigeria. I instructed him to open a PayPal account, he did, I sent money and got refunded.
He added his ID verification, I sent again - now it says the account is only able to accept thru his website.

He does not have a website, just a simple person with a simple account that I wish to transfer to. 
How do we do it? I want the money to stay in his PayPal account so he could purchase a flight.

Thanks

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.
