  Why did you approve all the spam crap comments on your site?? You also should review the terms of service

  Our payment gateway recently stopped accepting payment from Nigeria, and we have no way around that.

  Unless you have access to a credit card or PayPal account created outside of the country, we don’t have any other options at this time.

  I cannot accept money on behalf of the company. The only payment we can accept are credit card or PayPal through the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard.

  If you don’t have any source outside of Nigeria, we cannot offer any paid upgrades to you at this time.

  No, not through us unfortunately.

  You can still install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/

  Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
