It is pretty inconvenient that users in Nigeria cannot pay for music and storage using our master debit card (naira or dollar).
Apple needs to come up with affordable or equivalent gift card solutions because I feel it's better to use apple music instead of using Spotify or youtube music on the iPhone.

Hey there!
I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share a concern that many Nigerians have been facing when it comes to purchasing gift cards on the Apple Store in Nigeria. Unfortunately, Nigerian debit cards are unable to transact in any currency other than the local currency, which is the naira. This makes it impossible for many people to fund their Apple accounts.
I know that some people have tried using virtual cards, but even those don't work on the Nigerian Apple Store. This has left many Nigerians feeling frustrated and looking for alternative ways to purchase gift cards.
If possible, could you please look into this issue and provide some options for Nigerians to purchase and redeem gift cards on the Nigerian Apple Store? I know it would mean a lot to many people in the country.
Thank you so much for your time and attention to this matter. Have a great day
