hehehe but pakistan might turn out better than kenya. Anyway not interested in the selected countries.

If I were to apply, Ghana will be my choice. You can easily come back to Nigeria when it is not safe.

With the high value of british pounds sterling that will be received and considerable low cost of living in Ghana, I will be able to save a lot of money which can be more than a million naira when I come back.

Choose only competent schools with no strike record. You might even want to apply to a high class private university that does Masters for a year as your full tuition fees will be paid. You might want to ask commonwealth if you are can apply there.

Most Public Africa and Asia universities spend more than one year and you wouldn't want to waste time.

Noted

Do we need to write english eligibility test to get admitted into this African universities especially those in kenya?

From my findings, Pakistan is the most educationally developed among those nations.
