Nigerian passports might be available, but they are fraudulent. Getting caught with with one gets you deported and permanently barred from re-entry. Nigeria is the "fraud capital of the world," and anyone with a Nigerian passport gets special scrutiny.

from which country are you originally from?
a Nigerian passport will not take you far, nor give you any special treatment,on the contrary,
are you stateless?
if you are not from Nigeria? it is not good idea to get a passport,for many of them are not real passport,and would only bring you many problems,
