You can only buy from the UK or US store if you create an Apple ID account for those countries, and use it. There are instructions on how to do that somewhere around here. Try a search on the forum, or you could try Googling them. I'm afraid my memory isn't working well today.

There are some col apps I like to get in the store but you have to pay and when ever I try to use my credit card, it always says my credit card is invalid in that store.. Pls how can I get those apps..

You could try buying an iTunes gift card and put credit into your account that way, they are available in many places.....online and in high street stores.

As Gab said, you can top up your account there with an iTunes Gift card in the currency of the iTunes store you want to use - say US or UK. These Gift Cards can be purchased easily on the Internet and, since you only need the card's ID number, the retailer can email this to you and you're good to go in minutes.
