If you were born on US soil then yes. Make sure you have a copy of your birth certificate and then contact the US embassy for more details.

The U.S. Embassy is located at 9 Mambilla, Maitama District, Abuja. The telephone number is [234](9) 523-0916. The U.S. Consulate General is located at 2 Walter Carrington Crescent, Victoria Island, Lagos. The telephone number is [234](1) 261-0050.

You need your birth certificate to show that you were born in the US.
