Ordering from aliexpress is a stress to me because you can't just order with any naira card. You'd need a virtual dollar or any other compatible card which you may not have handy and would take another process to acquire that.
Well, this is actually one of the reasons why it's good to buy locally available smartphones like Infinix, Samsung, Itel, etc.
Quality after sales service support is readily available in all cites of the Federation unlike for Xiaomi who's service centers are limited and spare parts are not readily available.
Infact, most times, you'd still have to order spare parts from Aliexpress for some Xiaomi devices when the screen has issues.
So, I'd advice you go to a reputable phone store in the country and buy devices like Samsung, Infinix, Tecno, Itel, etc who's parts are available everywhere
Order online from 3Chub,Femtech or Fonemart

Don't buy global ROM ooooo, buy GLOBAL VERSION only. There are differences between the two versions.
Pls am curious to know the difference between global ro and global version. Thank you in advance

There are some international bands that are missing in the global ROM version and above all, the phone won't be verified on playstore(meaning there are some apps that won't run on the phone) unless you root and apply some tweaks with Magisk app.
My brother, just stay away from global ROM phones on AliExpress

I'll say you should walk into a phone store and purchase instead of stressing via ali express.

Hi guys

Pls how do I pay for the Xiaomi phone on AliExpress. A friend of mine got the phone from AliExpress and I really loved it, but have been trying to pay with my card and it's not working.

sorry you’re having this issues, it’s one of the restrictions we have to face as Nigerians trying to make cross country payments but worry no more because you have 3 options which you can set up in less than 15 minutes and you’re good to go.

First is download chipper cash (I personally use this one) from App Store or play store and sign up. You will be required to verify with BVN then go ahead to create a dollar card. Fund it and you get a limitless card that enables you make payments on any site that requires dollar payments.

Second is payday, third is barter. All this platforms gives you access to own a dollar card which don’t cost more than 2k Naira in case of chipper cash. Don’t mention 😊

That is the same amount I bought it here if not less at 3CHUB.

Come on there are other ways to get what you want because you're obviously knocking on the complicated door, the stress shouldn't be worth it though, that's all I'm saying

Save your yourself the stress and order from jumia or konga. You will definitely get it there, or see another nice device to buy.
Exactly!!!
You should be looking at other options and save yourself the stress, there are several other easy ways to get what you want but not through all that stress, mind you a lot can go wrong if you don't actually know what you're doing or how to use that process

All these comments is heart breaking. I don't think Xiaomi is that bad, they still have other better products you can get.
