Recieving payment

I stay in Nigeria and making an account is already confusing enough. I managed to get one and I can’t receive money, all my cards are linked to my PayPal and everything. I’ve received the code and verified, but my friends still get an error message when they try to send me money. Help?

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.
