How to Send Money From India to Nigeria
To send money from India to Nigeria, you can use money-transferring companies, such as Money Bookers and Alert Pay, which allow you to send money through your email account to the recipient's email account. On the other hand, if you're looking to hand over the funds directly to the recipient, consider using a company such as Western Union that requires sender and receiver to visit a company agent location to send and receive funds.
