Grace, Nigerian citizens are definitely eligible for 24 hour visa free transit, Shenzhen airport included. It is essential to understand that your itinerary has to look like:

Country A (for example, France) - Country B (China, Shenzhen airport in your case) - Country C (for example, Australia)

So, A - B - C formula where China is B is essential. If you have a flight itinerary of this kind, you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit scheme and you do not need any kind of visa. Under the assumption that you plan to fly on a single ticket (through ticket, single booking), you will just walk from one to the other gate and you do not have to perform any formality nor will you fill out any forms. You will just encounter a security check (metal detector and the stuff) between the two gates. Also, you will not be a subject of immigration and customs inspections. Have a nice journey through Shenzhen airport.
