Please, I am new to PayPal. 

I was notified by an organization in the US that a payment has been made to my PayPal address. 

how do I know if the transaction came into my wallet?

It did not reflect on my wallet.

I contacted them and I was told to verify from PayPal if my account can receive money from the US as I am in Nigeria.

The option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (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.
