A lot of Nigerians in the past japa with visit visa , got to those countries, began to work illegally, many later found way to later get papers usually through marriage or asylum. To checkmate this visa officers look out for home ties to determine if an applicant will likely come back. Lets look at the examples below going on vacation in Usa.
Applicant A- earns 100k, has 500k savings, no travel history.

Applicant B - earns 750k, account balance 7m, previous travel history, landed property or not

Applicants C: company turnover 50m in 3 months, has landed properties, had previous travel history/ no travel history.

Applicant A has no strong home ties, cannot afford the trip, his job is not strong enough to make he come back. So he will be refused visa usually while applicant B and C will likely get it. Alot of Nigerians fall into category A hence they get rejected.

For student visa they look at reasonableness . Because in the past too people went abroad with student visa and never attended classes or could not pay their tuition balance. So the visa officers are checking if you are genuine student ( country current policy too matters, for uk even if a dog applies for student visa dem go give am). They will check your finances, how does your course of study relates to you career, how long ago did you study last and most importantly finances, your school fees and expenses is lets say 8m naira, your sponsor account has 9m, is that a reasonable expense Hell no.

Number 9 of your question- why are you going on a trip you can’t afford Its fishy and they will usually bounce you.
