Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Nigeria, a yellow fever certificate is required: WHO lists Nigeria as a transmission risk.
Driving on a Nigeria license
Thailand and Nigeria are both party to the 1949 Geneva Convention & 1968 Vienna Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Nigeria is one Thailand is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
