Located in the southeast of West Africa, the Federal Republic of Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with an approximate population of 140 million. It covers an area of 923,768 square kilometers. It is a multinational country with over 250 ethnic groups. Initially the capital was Lagos, and then it was moved and reappointed the inland city Abuja as the capital in Dec 1991.
Nigeria is an ancient country in Africa. Nok culture makes it the cultural cradle of Africa. On October 1, 1960, the Federation of Nigeria achieved independence, initially as a constitutional monarchy. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was adopted on October 1, 1963. At the same time, Nigeria became a member of the Commonwealth.
Nigeria is the largest petroleum producer in Africa and one of the members of OPEC. Its leading industry was original agriculture at the outset of independence, however, as more petroleum is exploited, petroleum gradually takes the first place in its economy. Almost 95 percent of foreign exchange income is contributed by petroleum. Natural gases and coal are also richly stored in this country.
From February 10, 1971 when the bilateral relations were set up between Nigeria and China,
Exchanges and cooperation have been in smooth water. Great achievements have been made in the exploitation of oil, gas, the construction of basic facilities, the mutual efforts in agriculture and hi-technology. Nigeria has been the important trading partner in Africa. They are facing a brighter future.
As Nigeria has a number of ethnic groups, the traditions and custom are quite different. The major festivals are Osun, Leboku, The Great Ofala, Sharo, Uhola, Igue, Idu and Agun.

I'm jisu confused. You said you have a wife, then shouldn't be single; you said your wife studies in China with you, then there is no need to apply for visa for her.

Mr.Helper replied:
Yes,the embassy of Nigeria in Beijing can provide assistance to them if they are arrested, notify next of kin, provide a list of local lawyers, conduct prison visits, and ensure a Nigerian receives the same treatment as could reasonably be expected by the host country's own citizens. But the ambassador can't see your comments here, please contact the embassy directly.

If the embassy don't issue the visa for you, nobody could help.
However, you should get the reason why they refused your application.
