The Internet opens up a window for anybody anywhere in the world to take his/her products and/or services to the global market, thereby creating increasing money-making opportunities for people in third world countries like most African countries.
But what is the point in taking one’s products and services to the global market when there is no way to make and receive payments online? PayPal, MasterCard, Clickbank, Visa, Amazon, eBay and Moneybookers provide only a limited service to Africa and other 3rd world countries. Save for South Africa, Ghana, Kenya and a handful who enjoy only a limited service from these merchants, online payment solution is something most Africans can only wish for, especially Nigerians.
