List of online outlets that accept Nigerian Mastercard and Visa Cards

Following the usefulness of the post on shopping on Amazon, I thought I’ll begin a post on the online outlets worldwide that accept Nigerian debit/credit cards, MasterCard or Visa card. Naturally, I will begin with my personal experience and will be grateful if you could add yours. I’m hope this list will be a useful resource for everyone. Here goes: Bank: GTBank Card Issuer: MasterCard Currency: Naira denominated Outlets used on successfully: http://airmalta.com (to buy an...

How to use Paypal from Nigeria

I’ve been meaning to write this for a long time. I better start now though I may not finish it in one go. For reasons known only to Paypal, Nigeria is not one of the countries from which it allows registration. That is a big pain because many online shopping especially by small to medium scale business accept this form of payment. It is even worse that Ebay (a very popular shopping and auction site) is also owned by Paypal, to which it applies the same strict non-Nigerian rules....

11.11.11

Won’t it be just nice to make a post today 11.11.11? Unless we live to 12.12.12, such unique date combinations are rare. It occurred to me to look out for 11 minutes past 11 am on 11th of November 2011, but alas when next I checked the time, it was 11.31 Nothing really to post...

I have nothing against Indians but take this post as you like. “The Indians are coming… the indians are coming”. That was the cry from a friend of mine who was then working in Zain when it was announced that Bharti Airel had bought Zain, one of the network operators in...

I want to buy NITEL

Report coming in is that the BPE (Bureau for Public Enterprises) saddled with privatizing NITEL (Nigerian Telecommunications PLC) has cancelled the sale of NITEL because the ‘highest’ bidder has not been able to pay. I want to buy NITEL. Yes, sell it to me, but before I tell...

Have you considered ado...

I was at the Baptism of a friend’s daughter last weekend. The sparkling light in that new mother’s eyes as she gazed upon her adopted child had no comparison – what joy! Children are a gift from God and that means an unmerited one that depends totally on him to grant, if and when...

Shopping online from Ni...

I often find it more convenient to buy some things online and ship to Nigeria, because you have access to a wider variety of items and sellers. The challenge used to be not having an online payment method that a Nigerian can use which is accepted outside, but that barrier is slowing...
