from what was posted here last year, they don't mind letting us receive payments but govt/cbn policy stops them from doing so.


I think you should petition CBN instead.

Last month paypal was launched in Nigeria with limited services which is opposite to what western union services used to be in Nigeria until their services was upgraded this month.

Before now, Nigerians were not allowed to send money out of Nigeria with western union but can only receive funds from friends and relatives outside the country.

So few days after paypal was launch in Nigeria with a service opposite to that of western union (Paypal Nigeria can't receive funds but can send funds abroad while western union can receive funds but cant send funds abroad). I went on western union facebook page and asked why Nigerians can't send money abroad via western union; then i was told that the limited service was decision of the Nigerian govt and not western union.


I then informed them that the same govt welcomed paypal with a limited service which enables Nigerians to send funds abroad but can't receive funds via paypal. I also suggested that they go back and renegotiate the policy with the govt because i was sure that if the govt could allow us send funds abroad via paypal that they will also consider western union as an alternative for transfering funds abroad.


They(Western Union) thanked me and promised to do something about it.

Just yesterday, i saw a headline on nairaland frontpage that Nigerians can now send send money abroad via western union and i was like ''wow so these guys actually took action and now Nigerians can send funds with ease?''.

I immedately went back to their fb page and thanked them and they also thanked me for letting them help.

A Nigerian by name Rukky has petitioned Paypal, asking the financial giant to grant Nigerians access to receive payment through their platform. The petition needs 500 signatures and I have added mine. This is a call to Nigerians affected by Paypal's current policy of not allowing us receive payments through them to support this petition. If you do legitimate business online then sign it. If you are unemployed and you believe you can earn money working as a freelancer or if you are a freelancer then sign it. If you are a blogger, a website owner, an importer or exporter, please sign this petition. We all will benefit.

I will tag names to this thread when I get home.
