She cannot apply for a spouse visa in the UK. She has to return to Nigeria and apply there.

How long have you been married?

Did you marry your current wife before or after getting a decree absolute of divorce from your your ex eea wife?

Is your current marriage registered or was it a church/Islamic/religious wedding ceremony without registration of marriage?

You mentioned that she entered the UK by bus through France. What visa did she have at that time and when did it expire?

It sounds to me like your wife could possibly apply for FLR(FP), which would lead to ILR in 10 years time.

Agree with secret.simon and interested to know the answers to his questions too,

Much easier for her to return home and apply for a spouse visa. She then needs 5 years residence before she can apply for ILR.

Her years without legal status will mean it will be a long time before she can apply for citizenship. She will possibly be eligible for citizenship 10 years after she has legal status.

Do you earn a minimum of £18,600pa?

Has your wife been working in the UK?

You cannot marry in the UK.

You cannot even apply for an unmarried partner visa, again she would have to apply from home country.

So, she is not your wife, she is a partner who lives with you in a relationship akin to marriage.

Do you or she have any children?

What is your current nationality?

Broadly, I do not see any grounds for even an FLR(FP). She is not your wife and does not have any children who are British or EEA citizens. She has never had any leave to remain in the UK.

It could be argued that as both of you are Nigerian, you can have a family life together in Nigeria.

The route to settlement with an 'anchor baby' has become far less likely to succeed. Why can't she return to Nigeria, marry there and then apply for a spouse visa?

I hope that you are paying for ALL her NHS and medical treatment. She is not allowed to use any of the free NHS services.

There is many a slip twixt cup and lip.

You seem to be counting a lot of chickens here, including that the relationship lasts, that a child is conceived/born, that paternity is accepted by HO (even father on bc is no cast-iron proof of paternity these days), that HR applies in case of anchor baby & etc.
All that is gold does not glitter; Not all those who wander are lost. E&OE.

What if she gives birth to a daughter instead?

And what will you do if that 'finish' ends with your partner getting deported to Nigeria?

There isn't any easy route for an overstayer due to you having British citizenship.

Assuming you can prove you have been in a relationship 'akin to marriage' for the required 2 year period with the documented evidence to support this (shared finance and bills, joint tenancy etc) she should return to her home country and apply for an unmarried partner visa from there.

I'm assuming you don't have children together?
