I cannot marry without my father's presence, so is my mom as well. 

Marrying in Nigeria is not an option. 

 

The only reason I can go with CR1 is if we can marry in the US on a tourist visa which will enable my parents to grace the occassion and he returns home after the wedding. And we will commence the CR1 while he is back in Nigeria. I don't know if people marry on tourist and the consulate won't find an issue with it when they receive our CR 1 packet. 

Getting married on a tourist visa and returning home to await visa processing is totally fine, there will not be a problem with that. The bigger issue may be convincing the CBP officer when he enters for a wedding, that he will in fact go back home and wait for the visa.

 

Anecdotes are all very well, everyone knows someone who did this or that. Statistics are more reliable, so FYI, the refusal rate for B visas for Nigeria last year was 67.2%, so it is indeed a high refusal rate country. Note that someone who is refused then issued (in the same year) as shown as an issue, so the actual number of individual refusals is even higher than that 67% (how much higher, I don’t know). https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/RefusalRates/FY19.pdf

It’s still $160, chump change whether the probability of success is 20% or 33%.

Just another random guy from the internet with an opinion, although usually backed by data!

You missed the point, which is that there is a relatively high chance of a plan B being required, whether a B visa costs $16, $160 or $1600 is not relevant.
