You’re quite right, there’s limits on how much you can send out of Nigeria via WU & Moneygram & how frequently too but it’s quite easy to be honest, especially with Wema Bank, while I was still in Nigeria, I used it to send money to my BM quite frequently

lefulefu2:
i wont blame anybody in naija if he or she doesnt have the knowledge on how to send money with western union or money gram outside naija cos such is not common.Naija own is mostly to recieve money from outside the country and again sending money outside naija with western union or money gram is not that easy.But if u are in the US,Canada or Australia and u have stayed dere for sometime and u still ignorant on the ways to send money to ur loved ones in africa then something is wrong somewhere.U would have friends where u are and if u tell them about ur issue they will give u advice
being a loner and avoiding ppl in a foreign country would make u so ignorant of essential things u ought to know

Very true the part about having to change the dollar before paying into your dorm acct is the most annoying bit, but some banks allow you send WU or MG, they just make you sign the slip and debit ur NGN acct but lots of limits Dey

lefulefu2:
but its true nau
nigeria is mainly to recieve money.its not easy to send money out of nigeria or what we call outbound money.even paypal wey dem talk say e easy to use to pay money to ur clients outside nigeria does not work in reality.Nigeria can only recieve.The easiest way to send money outside nigeria is have a domicilary account but then u have to change ur naira to dollar and from what i right now in nigeria its very very very very expensive and very very difficult to change ur naira to dollar cos the exchange rate right now is so damm high and even if u have the purchase power to do it the bank will still put hurdles at the front at u.They would rather u go meet aboki wey the bank arrange for u for black market to change the dollar cos then both the bank and aboki go make their gain.wen u outside naija its very easy to send money back home.in the comfort of ur bedroom u can do it.Things don modernise.Many banks have their personal hausa money chnagers that change dollars for their bank customers and the banks get their cuts from it.

Wema Bank? i dont know much about Wema Bank sha
Anyway naija has many frustrations wen it comes to international transfer
Thank God in naija these days if u want to do domestic transfer u can easily use ur phone to transfer money to the person"s account unlike in the past that u will go to the bank and stand in a queue cos u wanted to transfer 2k to someone's account

My friend wants to send some money to me from the United States but I don't have a domiciliary account.

So, please what how can I receive the money through Western Union. I could use really use like, a brief procedure.

Abeg make una help a brother before this guy change him mind. Thanks.

Thru me sir. Tell them to sent it thru me. They will get it in only 18 days

LMAO I won’t even lie that transfer thing is the best thing that’s ever happened to Nigeria’s banking system...
Yes Wema does allow you send WU, I.have used them over 7 times in the past 1 year but there is a $1000 limit per transaction and you can only send if you’re an Acct holder

You’d be amazed how many people haven’t heard of these apps outside the country, not everyone uses these things... Same way you’d be amazed how many people don’t know you can send western union and money gram from Nigeria to any country. Most people believe na only to receive we fit do

World remit are criminals. Their exchange rate is poor. Reason why nobody uses em. Boxypay offers better rates. Even venmo, you csn get balue locally

most apps use cbn rate that's why.

Any good idea about how to send money in naira from naija to the US in dollars.

I live in the US but i want to move all my money for naija to US.

Missyford31:


Ur not in naija lefu? Which country are U in?

I am in dominica.Its a carribean country

Missyford31:


Yeah true. Is it hard sending out from Nigeria? Even with those apps?

Its more easier sending money with those apps to nigeria but when it comes to sending money from nigeria to other countries with those apps it is near to impossible.Even paypal that is touted to use easily when you want to pay someone outside naija is also difficult.The only possible might be having a dormicillary account in naija which u would use to send money to ur clients but again for you to do this you have to change to dollars and from what right now because of the covid 19 issues changing the nigeria to dollar is very very expensive and stressful.If i want to send money to someone in nigeria i can easily use my fone or laptop and in the comforte of my bedroom i will send the amount i want to send to him or her using transferwise but if i was in naija i guess i would have to go to the bank and change the money to dollar before i send it.

Oh ok. So the apps don't change it from naira to dollars for you? Like wen U send to Nigeria the app just takes the money from your bank n everything is done for U I've done that a cpl times in the past. So U mean when sending out from naija the apps don't work the same? U can't pay in naira? Is the value of Aussie dollars much different to naira? For instance if I sent 50 AUD to Nigeria n the person sent it straight back, besides the transfer fees would the amount resent back be lower? Lol sorry I'm not good at finance stuffs�

some places are very beautiful here while some places are ugly
last tuesday i went on a hike with friends
we toured the country and we see a lot of nice places.
all u see here is just mountains and rocks
they have jungles here too but funny enough they dont have wild animals or bushmeat like we do in africa
all u can see in their jungles are rabbits and lizards.but they have nice looking birds

if i am sending money with the transfer app here in dominica to nigera the person will get the money in naira.the currency used here is east carribean dollars(XCD).It takes 10-15 minutes for the person to get the alert.I use transferwise and its easy to use.I have heard worldremit and its also similar like transferwise.Now like u in australia if u send like 50Aud through transferwise or any other app the person in nigeria will get it in naira equivalent with no hassles but if the person wants to resend the money back to u it will be difficult.For him to be able to resend the money to u he will have to go to the bank and send it through western union or moneygram ..or have a domicillary where he will have to change the naira equivalent of the 50AUD to dollars then send it to u.without changing it to dollars he wont be able to send.and right now in naija as i head the naira to dollar exchange is very very high and changing to naira to dollar is quite challenging due to the covid issues.

jungle rabbits. I didn't know they could live in jungles lol. Over here they just live in the bush. Is Dominica close to Jamaica? I can't think where Jamaica is exactly. Lol I always confuse that with madagasca geographically for sum reason. I love a Jamaican accent i know Dominica it's near the Bermuda triangle right? I always pictured beautiful islands and beautiful beaches and waters. Coconut trees lol. They speak Spanish there yeah? Is it a big place? Are U living there full time?

dominica is a bit far from jamaica but its quite close to barbados and atigue.No i am not refering to dominican republic ..but dominica or commonwealth of dominica.they speak english here as well as creole(broken french) then patwa or is it patois language.the dominican republic u thought i was talking about is just 30 minutes from here using a ferry .

if the atm card in ur naija account is a master card then u can easily just conviniently withdraw the money were u located in the US and go deposit it to ur american bank account..but there is a limit though.the amount of money u would be allowed to withdraw in a month is 500 USD
