Yes. UK visa dependants will have to pay for visa and NHS fee. Visa dependants will need to pay £490 for the visa. As for the healthcare surcharge, you can check how much she'll have to pay here. She will also need to have her biometric information (fingerprints and a photo) taken - there’s no fee for this.

You can choose either of the two passports.

But mind you,she is American citizen
Customer: replied 17 days ago.
I belief American citizens do not need visa fee payments to enter the UK
Expert:  MARTINT330 replied 17 days ago.

US citizens can enter the UK without a visa, however, they can only stay for a maximum of 6 months. Any more than that they will have to pay for a visa.

To clarify my previous reply - she can use either passport to apply for a UK Visa, however it would be advisable to use her Nigerian Passport considering you'll be applying for a visa in Nigeria.
