Does It Mean That Nigerians are Prohibited From Registering Domain On WordPress
-
Am trying to register a domain name but on the account of filling my billing details i found out that wordpress only support two billing options credit card and paypal. Nigerians are strongly restricted on opening a paypal account and also on the other hand i tried to use credit card option but i discovered that Nigeria is not listed among the countries drop down list. Please i need an immediate solution to this limitation.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m so sorry but your country Nigeria is not a PayPal supported country.
WordPress.com uses PayPal as their payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/
PayPal have chosen to block payment from your country, so you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country.
In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.
The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.
More about echecks here:

Sadly, there is no alternative. I’m sorry that the bad actors who set up the email scams and the spam factories in your country caused this. :(
