You can't add a local bank account / and rarely a debit card in your country.
You can only link a visa credit card. Have you confirmed it  as per below?

 

[[Here's how to confirm your credit or debit card from a web browser:

  1. Go to your Wallet.
  2. Click the card you want to confirm.
  3. Click the Confirm Card link. (If you don’t see the link, we’ve automatically confirmed your card and there’s nothing else you need to do.)
  4. Review the information and click OK.

When you confirm your debit or credit card, we'll make a small charge to your card. This charge and a 4-digit PayPal code will appear on your card statement within 2-3 business days. If you request the PayPal code more than once, you’ll find more than 1 charge on your card statement. You need to use the latest code that you've requested.

If you don’t have access to your card statements online, you can check for the code when you receive your next statement in the mail.

If you can’t find your PayPal code, you can request a new one to be resent. A new PayPal code may be requested up to 3 times.

Here's how to finish confirming your card with your 4-digit PayPal code from a web browser:

  1. Go to your Wallet.
  2. Click the card you want to confirm.
  3. Enter the 4-digit code and click Confirm.

After you confirm your card, we’ll immediately refund the charge. Your card issuer will credit your balance within 30 days of the refund date]].



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.
