So it seems that the xbox live Gold membership registration is having some region blocking issues in Nigeria, I don't know if it's possible to purchase Gold now but I tried to purchase a gold membership from Microsoft and when it asks for my country, I can't seem to find Nigeria on the list and when I selected a random country and state, my bank cancels the purchase due to false information and I get a message that my bank does not authorize the purchase.

If there is a way or it's possible to get gold membership in the country now, please it would be satisfying if I got a solution.
Else we cannot sit by and let this keep hindering the progress of the gaming community in the country
:- (so therefore) I have started a suggestion on Microsoft and I'd like all Nigerian gamers and supportive nairaland era to help vote and prove that the gaming community here is just as active as any other country.

Go on ther and click vote so we can increase our chances of getting things right.
Still if there's a way this can be done, please I would like to be notified.
