Enter Nigeria and see what it says.

Answer 2

You can not drive in the UK on a Nigerian licence or an international licence if you have become resident in the UK. There is no facility to exchange a Nigerian licence for a UK licence. You will need to apply for a UK provisional licence then pass both parts of the UK driving test.
