Yes you are.

Why can't you apply from home in the normal way? Hint: Don't want to is not a valid reason....

In order to marry here you will have to register your intent with a Home Office designated Registry Office and the Registrar is then legally bound to notify the Home Office. The HO can then extend the notification period from 28 to 70 days in order to interview you both before the wedding can take place.
You should also be aware that when you do this, it could result in the Home Office taking action to remove you from the UK.
What nationality do you have and how long have you been in a relationship with your French girlfriend?

Where are you trying to get married?
France or UK?
If to marry in France why are you in UK?
Where do you (think you) plan to live from now on?

Return to Nigeria and apply as a bone fide spouse. If all above board overstay is no issue.

If you don't you'll be fighting UKVI for years and years.

If you illegal the landlord (if rented) has a duty to check your status and inform the authorities....

Also under the recent Immigration Act which has been given Royal Assent, it will be a criminal offence for a landlord to rent a property to anyone who is here illegally. I'm not sure whether you're saying that you don't like the advice I've given you about the restrictions on marrying in the UK, but that's the way it is.
