Most Nigerian airlines accept local cards. Some high-end hotels and stores accept Visa and Mastercard. If in doubt, just cross-check with the hotel before you leave the USA.

And also if you have to purchase a airline ticket you must pay cash because they don't accept credit cards. How could I visit the country if i can't purchase my ticket online?

However you can try going through a third party payment gateway like PayPal or SoftPay.org or webnaira.com. One advantage of using a third party is that people will not feel that you are one of the other people trying to milk money. Hi @ Mandus,

Why are you assuming that I am from USA. Guys, I am NOT from USA, far from it. NOT EVERYONE WHO SPEAKS GOOD ENGLISH IS FROM USA. I have just listed a number of online resources, the facts are that nobody would accept credit card from Nigeria. And all purchase attempts with credit card from Nigeria in our online shop were with stolen credit cards. What does that tell you? When you have 100% rate of criminal customers from one country you really have to be an idiot to accept their credit cards. Of all the 130 million Nigerians only the criminals are shopping online, it seems. You can complain here and call everyone an idiot, but the facts are against you and unless something changes you will NOT be able to shop online on this planet. Maybe on Mars... Sorry.

You know what I do when I am online? I read and read and read...all that come my way. I don't spam and I hate to see or hear about criminals. But one of the things I have come to discover for over 15 years of my closer to pc and internet is about American’s shallow approach to event of life. May be this is influenced by the environment you guys found your selves. Least we forget Iraq Bruhaha!!! that is seen has the root cause of 2008/2009 world financial crisis. However, what I want to share with you is that there are over 140 million Nigerians and this mean a highly dense population. Including those you call corrupt government official voted by care, loving and innocent Nigerians like us. India on the other hand, harbors about a billion of human mass and there politicians were voted by Indian citizens including Indian internet hackers. Most Arabs don’t vote so let’s not even call them voters. But, I most tell you that an average Arab love and cherish is Leader. America can never lay claim to the most intelligent people, most innocent population, etc. In fact some of the biggest or worst crimes ever, were masterminded and committed by Americans. Who killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Even with the prediction of Mitchell De Nastrodamus -The Man who saw Tomorrow. And this does not portend every American to be Serial Killer. America even harbors most of the wanted drug lords today. American politicians can never claim to be saints either, if they get the same opportunity like there Nigerian counterparts they will be worst than them. So if you are a scammer’s victim, then it means you were greedy and if you were presented with the same opportunity, you can also be a scammer. PERIOD!!! As my internet friend, just take note of these inscriptions below that: NOT EVERY AFRICAN IS RATTLED WITH DISEASE AND HUNGER NOT EVERY NIGERIAN IS A SCAMMER NOT EVERY INDIAN IS AN INTERNET HACKER NOT EVERY JAPANESE IS A WORKAHOLIC NOT EVERY CHINESE IS A MISER NOT EVERY AMERICAN IS A SERIAL KILLER NOT EVERY ARAB IS TERRORIST NOT EVERY JEW IS A SYCOPHANT Have a Nice Time!
