Ruben, first of all, in order to get a Nigerian visa, you need a Yellow Fever vaccine. Once you get it, an issuing hospital/clinic gives you a yellow card (passport size). Immigration people will porbably ask for it upon your arrival to Nigeria. Other than that, I would suggest tetanus.

Malaria: Prophylaxis with Lariam (mefloquine), Malarone (atovaquone/proguanil), or doxycycline is recommended for all areas that is if you are staying around a month, if you are staying more just rub mosquito repellant at night.
