Linking debit cards

I'm finding it difficult to link my debit card to my Pay Pal account, I tried it a couple of times on my account and on a friend's account none, went through. After a while, I decided to try linking the same card to my account again, now it's saying that the card has been linked to an account and that I have to remove the card first before linking it.

You can't add a local bank account / and rarely a debit card in your country.
You can only link a visa credit card.

Also the option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive Paypal payments.
