In Europe,that would be Hungary,Italy due to the Residence permits & Nigeria.Basically all EU countries do not recognize birthright citizenship unless the parents hold Citizenship or residence permits. BTW,it is very controversial to even ask what you suggest which is Birth tourism !
2 :
Well you can come to America and have an anchor baby. We have birth right citizenship here and, the illegal aliens here are exploiting the hell out of it.
3 :
There is no European country which gives nationality to a child purely on the basis of birth in the country.

The only European Country where jus soli can prevail over jus sanguini is Romania, but I don't have details about how things work specifically; as for Italy, if a child which parents are both foreign citizen is born in Italy and legally resides till he/she's 18, at that age can choose whether to keep parents citizenship (according to law of Nigeria, in this case) or choosing to be an Italian citizen; this way Italian citizenship is given as a right.

I'm Romanian and the answer above me is incorrect, you can't have a child in here so the child be granted citizenship. I suggest she gives birth in Italy and then try to get a residence for her baby.
