OPENING A PAYPAL ACCOUNT

PayPal is a globally accepted means of payment anywhere in the world and we shall be looking at how to open a PayPal account in Nigeria. Many people know what a PayPal account is and have used it several time to make payment and receive payment. But for the purpose of the people that don’t have much knowledge of it, I will be describing what a PayPal account is, and later I will explain how you can open and verify it in Nigeria.
If you already know what PayPal is all about but just want to know who to open and verify it, scroll down to the subheadings describing the process below.

What is A PayPal Account?

A PayPal account is an online payment platform owned by PayPal Holding Inc. PayPal is one of the widely used online payment processors, supporting payment in almost all countries. Before 2014, Nigeria was among the countries in which the usage of PayPal isn’t available, but now it is available for usage, with some restrictions.
With a PayPal account you can pay for products and services online, without the merchant seeing your local bank account detail. Besides PayPal is a comfortable way to pay on Amazon, Godaddy, Gearbest, Aliexpress,  Ebay and other international e-commerce websites.
Now you know what PayPal is. Let’s go and open one.

How to Open PayPal Account in Nigeria

For the purpose of this post, I will be using my Android phone to open a verified PayPal account in Nigeria. The steps are the same for PC.
Follow the steps below to sign up for the PayPal account:
  • On landing on the PayPal website, tap on Menu, located at the top left corner: Tapping Menu will expand the option.
On the displayed option, you will see the option called PERSONAL, with a V-sign beside it. Normally PayPal allows two type of accounts – Personal and Business. However the business account isn’t available in Nigeria.

  • On the first form page, fill in your Email address, and create and confirm a password.
  • After filling your email address and password, tap on Continue: Tapping continue loads the second page of the form.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO PLAN A BUSINESS

A business plan is a written description of your business's future, a document that tells what you plan to do and how you plan to do it.

You want to get to a there, a point in the future (usually three to five years out) at which time your business will have a different set of resources and abilities as well as greater profitability and increased assets.

MAKING A WILL IN NIGERIA

Ask the average Nigerian if they have made a Will, and they will most likely get upset and accuse you of having negative thoughts towards them. This is the case in a lot of societies where thinking of making a Will forces people to think about their own mortality and the inevitability of death. This should not be the case. Making a Will is not only about planning for your death, it is also about ensuring that your loved ones are adequately protected. It is in fact one of the most critical things that you can do for your loved ones. Putting your wishes in the form of a Will helps your heirs avoid unnecessary hassles, and you gain the peace of mind knowing that a life’s worth of possessions will end up in the right hands.

STEPS TO FIXING A BROKEN MARRIAGE

A broken marriage is right up there among the top pain producers. So if your marriage is heading in that direction it is time to act, right away. Most couples put off marriage help thinking there is nothing they can do, or that things will somehow fix themselves over time. But it is not like that. There is a law of momentum to consider. Imagine what it would be like if a car starts rolling, and you quickly stick a rock or log under the tire (I have seen people stick their foot under it) the car will stop. But if you are too late the car gets away from you. That is the law of momentum, in action. When I was a divorce mediator I had finally seen enough. I wanted to help others. I started with one couple, and with their cooperation and patience I was able to finally define just why couples have troubles, and what they can do about it. From them, I went on to gain quite a reputation for really fast, and really solid marriage mediation, instead of divorce mediation. The first coup...
