I'm sorry for your situation.

It's not possible for you to claim asylum in Canada from Nigeria.

You would need to obtain a TRV (tourist visa) to Canada, fly to Canada, and then claim asylum once you are here.

I would hire a good immigration lawyer in Canada to help you with your case before you apply for asylum. Your case is complex since you are married and have a child. There is a risk / danger that it may be perceived you are fabricating your story to obtain PR in Canada. A lawyer will be in the best position to assist you in putting your case together, assessing if you have the evidence needed, and telling you what your chances are of success.

Have you looked at all into the Express Entry economic immigration program to see if you qualify? If you have the right education / work experience, that would be a much faster path and pretty much guaranteed (if you have enough points to be selected).
What are the possible evidences one can provide for such claims

It depends on the specifics of the claim. You might be best off consulting with a lawyer if you are not sure.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Yes,I don't mind engaging a good immigration lawyer. I equal wouldn't mind if you or anyone can suggest/ recommend a good immigration lawyer.

The Express entry is based on point system, our age and level of education has drop our points,so we do not qualify for this.
thinking of same thing, did you get it

If truly you are a transgender, you need to come with proofs as well as evidences that your neighbor stalked you on social media. I feel like you are likely a cross dresser and not a trans. #mytwocents.
