The only methods of payment for upgrades are major credit cards from approved countries and PayPal supported countries. There are no other payment options. Nigeria is not a supported country
See what Staff (macmanx) has said here > http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/upgrade-not-working?replies=4#post-921032 -
Wow, that information sucks! No offense but now my purpose seems defeated. cos i was looking forward to owning my own domain & using your software. is there anything i can do about registering my domain & if i can register my domain elsewhere but still use your software...
-
I'm so sorry there have been such an awful of people up to no good based in Nigeria that the country is not longer a PayPal supported country.
-
if i can register my domain elsewhere but still use your software...
No because you would still require a domain mapping upgrade to map the domain to a free hosted WordPress.com blog and that upgrade is purchased from WordPress.com.
-
If you want to stay at WordPress.COM with a custom domain name you have limited choices - you can register the domain name you want with a registrar that will take your credit card then get a friend that lives in a supported country to pay for the domain mapping for you - sucks I know - but short of getting your own host (more expensive) you have limited options -

yea, there'll always be bad eggs in Nigeria. now i'm confused don't know what to do. I was hoping to salvage my purpose by
1. getting the wordpress software from wordpress.org cos i think it's a cool way to manage a site
2. using a webhost to register/host my blog.
Any advice would help...preferably best advice though lol -
@auxclass. thanx.
i really wanted everything on 1 site to make CMS much easier.
how much would the domain mapping cost? -
Domain mapping to a WordPress.COM blog is $ 13.00 U.S. per year. Then you also need to add the cost of domain registration with another registrar.
