UK visa refusal for not showing strong family ties in Nigeria
Upvote:3
How I proved my family ties was by providing them with an official family card/certificate signed by the local government listing my name and my other family members' names in the certificate.

I can recall a very similar question, and being a single male with nobody depending on me, I can share the same experience.
The flight bookings, hotel reservations, and bank statements all prove that you have enough funds to spend during your stay. This is, however, only a part of you that they evaluate.
Single people with a lot of freedom to move to a different country are high-risk people. People visiting a country on a tourist visa and staying there happens more often that you think. I do not want to emphasize on a certain nation, but there was a nice documentary about such people in the UK.
You need to understand that it's nothing personal or any fault in you. It's just that they see anyone with such characteristics as high risk.
If you are still studying, mention that in your application. If you have a degree that you have to complete, that is generally considered a tie to your home country.
Long term lease, long term job contracts, and anything like that basically proves that you are purely visiting the country for tourism can increase your chance too.
If your passport is new, with 0 or only a few visa/entry seals, that is a red flag for them too. A person outside the EU taking their first trip to UK: kinda alarming isn't it?
Make up your mind, and visit some neighboring countries first. The older your passport is, more convincing it is in their eyes that you really have the traveling spirit.
You can also try as an organized tour, but that is no way to travel (just my opinion). I wish you good luck!
