My account is not displaying wallet balance

[Simeonbabs]

I just opened a personal account from Nigeria. I have successfully linked and verified my visa debit card, but my account doesn't show Paypal balance.

You don't need a 'balance' as you can't add funds to a balance OR receive funds in your country.

You can't add a local bank account / debit card in your country. (although paypal does recognise some debit cards as credit ones, not all though).
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.
