It may not work if it does not have an analogue tuner - which is what we currently have in Nigeria.
The following information gives a general overview of tuner compatibility
There are essentially 2 types of TV signal: analog and digital. So TV tuners are either analog or digital. The more recent breed of tuners which are actually dual tuners that combine the two types of TV tuners are generally referred to as hybrid tuners: those are compatible with both analog and digital signal types.
Analog Tuners: Primarily MPEG-2 analog tuners (NTSC, PAL and Secam), which are tuners with an onboard MPEG-2 hardware encoder. This will pick TV signal in Nigeria.
Digital Tuners:  Over-the-air (OTA) digital ATSC and DVB-T tuners and other classes of digital tuners (QAM, DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-H, etc.)
America uses ATSC and DVB-S and DVD-S2(both satelite TV) while Britain uses DVB-T and DVB-T2(freeview) + Satellite DVB-S and DVD-S2

For a TV to work in Nigeria, it must have an anlogue tuner(the TV picks the signal directly) or you can use a satellite box(like Sky digibox or DSTV in Nigeria) which picks the signal and send it to the TV. You will then need a satellite dish
Check which tuners this TV has first

itz gonna work but don't for get the voltage requirements for most electrical/electronics components in the US are 110Volts powered, so for your HDTV to work in Nigeria u will need a step-up transformer which will step your tv to 220V that is available in Nigeria, hope this helps.

Kx:

Did u have to bring ordinary tv all d way from USA?

donpappyt:

Yes, It is not ordinary. A USA TV have many feature compare to any other TV.

the price is three time less than what we have in nigeria.

You are dead wrong!, the hdtv  in question is US-made and would have an output voltage of 110V hence, using a step-up transformer with Nigerian 220v is going to produce an output voltage higher than 220v which may damage the fused or ICs (even more components) on the board. In lieu, a step-down transformer would be used to step-down the Nigerian voltage from 220v to 110v (vendor design voltage specification for the hdtv) - for american E&E appliances.

I meant to write step-down, you could know that i knew what i was talking about. Thanks

THANKS GUYS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL AND IINFORMATIVE INPUTS,

LOVE NAIRALAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
