It will take 4-6 months to be approved, generally. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. Count on at least 5 months, though. And don't be surprised if your online status on the USCIS website never changes. It's very unreliable.

Go to your timeline and enter your NOA1 date (the date of receipt notice on your I-797C hardcopy). Then you can get estimates you can track here. Remember nothing written in stone. But as said before 5 months at least you can expect.

In the meantime may I suggest you go to the Nigerian Interview reviews and get familiar with what is asked, said and prep work. There's alot you can do since you have filed (just to keep your self from going insane).

Holla if you need anything. It will be well. And again don't count on USCIS updating a thing. I never got a text, email just hardcopy in mail a week later for the 1st notice so I suspect the same for the approval.
