You can't add a local bank account / and rarely a 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.

Omg!!!

Please is there not any way to come around with this even by contacting paypal? Because i've already initiated a payment from another platform and it has been approved and i can never cancel it since it's already approved and it is a very huge amount of money that's not even entirely mine, i seriously dont know what to do and i've been trying to contact paypal through their message centre for like 4 days now but i cant even talk to a real human being cux they r always not available. I appreciate ur response but pls if there is any other way around i just need to get the money out and give it to the owner thank you..

You are in a send only country, you cannot receive funds into a Nigerian paypal account.

Been that way for the 12 years I have been helping on here.

Only the sender of the funds can help you, hopefully it will show as unclaimed and return back to them at 30 days as it can't be claimed on your paypal account.

Why i was worried was because the payment has been approved and theres nothing i can do after that but if there is a way to resolve it wheww... thank God i can wait 30 days and change payment method after refund am really glad that you respond to my replies and really appreciate it. I pray the refund it.

Thanks,
