The Paypal Return.
PayPal is stepping back into Nigeria—this time through Paga. What changes, and what doesn’t?

For just over two decades PayPal basically put Nigerian users in timeout. You could create an account, no problem. You could even send money overseas if you had the cash loaded up. But receiving payments from clients abroad? Hard no. Withdrawing anything to a local Nigerian bank? Not in this lifetime. It was this frustrating “send-only” limbo that lasted until just recently, when in late January 2026, PayPal finally announced they’re coming back through a partnership with Paga.
