A colleague wants to transfer money to my account and he told me to open a skrill account; considering the fact he'll be making series of money transfer for a project that is slated to commence in December. from what he told me, he said he makes regular withdrawals in Paris but he doesn't know if making skrill withdrawals is possible in Nigeria; and this happens to be his only safest option for now .

I visited a my bank which is first bank to make further enquiries; and the poorly trained staff(story for another day) who attended to me said it is possible without any further information or enlightenment, but when I asked GTB they said it isn't possible. hence the reason why I created this thread!

has anyone ever been able to withdraw from skrill to a Nigerian bank account
if it's possible please kindly enlighten me on how it is done here.

What other online portal would you suggest if skrill is not supported in Nigeria.

You can withdraw your skrill funds straight to your local bank account. There's a provision where you have to link your bank account to your skrill but I think there is a provision for validating of your identity. Just be aware that banks will give you base on the interbank rate which is lower than the parallel rate. Or you can as well use the option of transferring the funds to any genuine e-exchangers. That option is the one I normally use to get my skrill funds. It's as simple as that. I believe you'll find this useful.
