I will send a new i-184 affidavit of support and add all bank statements and assets ownership, then send it with a letter, explaining why all these are sent instead of a joint Sponsor

This is not what they are requesting.  They have specifically requested a joint sponsor.  If you ignore that and submit other things instead, your visa will be denied.

What do you mean "without checking"?  Did she not provide adequate financial evidence for your interview?  Also, for most areas of the US, her income is fairly low.  

 

The CO also takes into consideration parameters such as your own employment history, education, potential ability to earn a living in the US, health status, etc.  

 

You're focusing too much on only one aspect of the totality, which is her current income.

 

Bottom line:  no joint sponsor, no visa.  You may need to look at having her move to Nigeria if you want to be together.

I understand your point. I have a good career here, am a computer software engineer and I have a Job already.

She has a nice amount in the bank above 200k and other inheritance. Isn't that reasonable enough? And also we have a prenuptial agreement which i submitted where all these are listed and notarized by a notary.

Prenuptual agreement serves the purpose of keeping those assets separate.  It in no way 'helps' your case.

It's hard, her family isn't close, the only close family is late.  Few friends.

It can literally be anybody you wife knows. A friend, a co-worker, uncle, aunt, grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, children, siblings, etc.

Well, YEAH, of course. No illegals, no minors, no visitors, etc. 

 

I was assuming eligible people with my list. Didn’t write it though. 😩

Plus meeting financial requirements.  A casual friend or co-worker would very likely be questioned.  It is a huge commitment.

It is, but with a written statement, and adequate preparation, I don’t see why it would be denied.

We have seen more and more joint sponsorship rejections at the consular level due to weak relationships between that person and beneficiary.  It happens.

 

Think about it, would you sponsor a co-worker's or acquaintance's beneficiary?  I sure wouldn't.

So it must be a close friend.

Definitely not. I was unaware of the consular level rejections for weak relationship. Definitely a risk on the Joint sponsors end. Hopefully OP can overcome the refusal, and as fast as possible.
