Depends where you want to go. Every country has a different system for allowing foreign medical graduates to practice.

For the US you would have to pass USMLE Step 1, Step 2, Step 3.

You should take the USMLE step 1, getting a good score in that will get you to get into a residency program, and complete another 3-7 years of residency depending on your specialty, you will only practice medicine in US with a US residency program. If you are currently in Nigeria, find out for the closest places in West Africa, maybe in Ghana, or even Nigeria, where you can take the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), Good luck with your pursuit. Its challenging but very doable
