Your wife should review the guides here to filing a petition for a CR-1 (spousal) visa, prepare the papers, and submit them with the required fee. Documentation of your marriage, etc. is required. Does she have enough income to support you ($18,500 approximately per year)? If she does, and there are no prior marriages, then the process is straightforward. The guides are quite specific and easy to follow. If the CR-1 visa is granted, then you will receive your green card almost immediately upon arrival, and can begin working in the US.

As you already know, Nigerians have a very high rate of fraud, using all kinds of methods including marriage to be able to enter the US. If her petition is approved, then your application for the visa must contain solid and convincing evidence of a bona fide marriage -- solid enough that there can be no suspicion that your real intent is to immigrate as a spouse.
