More details to this question:
I am a US citizen who plans to marry a Nigerian citizen and live with him in Nigeria.
Does this procedure automatically grant me dual citizenship in USA and Nigeria) when our marriage is registered? Will I have to renounce my US citizenship? Will I be able to visit the USA freely as much as I desire without immigration problems? Are there any other legal procedures that I must carry out? It has become very difficult finding the answers to all of my questions. If you have any other advice regarding my move to Nigeria, please feel free to inform me.

Hello,
Yes, it is possible to have dual citizenship as the U.S. permits this. You can visit the U.S. as freely as you wish as a US. citizen even if you live abroad permanently. To find out about how to obtain Nigerian residency and citizenship you should contact the Nigerian Embassy in Washington D.C. or Atlanta. There are also customs and immigration offices in Nigeria that you would be able to visit for further information when you arrive there.
