Can you please clarify what you mean by "right to apply"? Do you mean right to appeal?

If you have a right to appeal the time limits are very limited and you should seek legal advice immediately. In the meantime you should also contact your embassy in Nigeria to have them verify that your passport is genuine, as offences relating to forgery are treated very seriously and can result in you being banned from coming back to the UK for several years.
