Good day everyone in the house, please I'm a Nigerian and to be able to pay and receive online I created a business account although I've not linked it yet to my bank account. However, receiving deposit into the Paypal account is not going through, the account is always saying some information is not correct inspite of having correctly filled out my information as required. Could it be because I've not linked the account?

You can't add a local bank account / debit card in your country.
You can only link a visa credit card.
Also 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.
