No I ddn't get your question .. there was no where I included his name where I wrote engaged on my previous application because there was no where it was asked on the form. His name appear only in this recent application

they normally ask who you will be staying with and where you will be staying in the ds160, whose name did you put in your previous application .maybe that can help you trace what might have gone wrong. 

But I will advise you to go ahead and submit the documents asked.

People living in the US must get divorced in the state where they live.  They can not go and get a divorce abroad, even if they are citizens of that country.  
 

I think you need to be specific and point out that per the State Department and for immigration purpose People living in the US must get divorced in the state where they live. Outside of that divorces abroad are acceptable.

Be aware that there is no treaty between the U.S. and any other country ensuring recognition of foreign divorces. However, the State Department notes that divorces obtained in foreign countries are generally legally recognized here, if both parties were living in the country in question when it was issued.

OP stated that her US citizens spouse had petitioned for his ex-wife to immigrate to the US.  They were living in the US.

Here, her husband and his ex-wife were not living in Nigeria when they divorced.  They were living in the US.  Therefore, their divorce is not recognized for immigration purposes by the State Department.
