Just this evening I tried to purchase an app from BlackBerry App Store dubbed "BlackBerry World" only to be presented with two payment option (PayPal & Credit Card), which certainly are not open to Nigerians. Meanwhile, I had a Payoneer debit MasterCarded funded in USD, as there was not Debit Card option, I selected Credit Card and completed my card detail only for the system to return transaction error msg. Then it downed on me that if that's the case RIM has not really opened up purchasing of apps on its store to Nigerians. Please, share your experience in the comments.

I wonder why they keep locking Nigerians out. The only time I bought an app was when a nairalander gifted it to me.

Now, this is no longer funny! I checked my transaction history on Payoneer portal and behold what is there:

Pre-Auth Transaction-POS Signature Purchase International
BLACKBERRY.COM LUXEMBOURG LUX

Local Currency Amount: [England (Great Britain), Pound Sterling: 1.0]
Amount to charge: $1.55

But, I did not get the app I wanted to buy. Guess, its high time I kick their *ss!

This is really not encouraging for dudes like me, because I thinking of developing apps fir BlackBerry 10 for Nigeria, I have sent them email several times concerning this but no reply.
I guess that's why apple and android are far way better for mobile market.

Hope they work on this sooner.

After all, Payoneer MasterCard smart technology was able to detect the fraud transaction and refunded my money. And this is definitely gonna be my first and last attempt to buy any app from BlackBerry World.
