For unsupported nations and Nigerians, a lot of gamers purchase CDs, even if some that still buy digital games end up dropping off their console and paying ridiculously high prices as charges for the simple service that was rendered.
Since my own PS4 was purchased, I got an Uncharted 4 CD and all other games I have played since that time have been purchased online from PSN Store and downloaded digitally. This is good news for me since I can seamlessly switch between games and play on my PS4 console, unlike the people who buy CDs and go through the stress of ejecting CDs and inserting another to play something different.
In summary, buying digitally and buying CDs has its bad and good sides. CD buyers will tell you that it will be easier to sell the game CDs or exchange it for a different game in the future while digital buyers will brag about not having to bother about Hard Disk crashes. However, even if buying games digitally requires a large volume of data and fast internet to download, we will advise you to steer clear of the buying CDs trend.

The bad news; it is not possible to open a Nigeria PSN account. The only way to make it happen is by opening one with US information. When registering for a PlayStation Network account on your console, simply choose “the United States” as Origin.
When that is done, it will now be possible to choose any American state even if some of them will charge tax money when you buy games online. Be aware that states like Florida, Northern California, Alabama, and Oregon charge nothing extra for buying games on PSN, so you should go for one of them.

After registration, you will also be asked if you wish to add your credit card as a payment method, do not enter your credit card details. Once the US account is set, you will be able to fund your PSN account in Nigeria.
