Don't go to university directly after school. Get an apprenticeship as a software developer or better yet, as a webdeveloper in a company that creates websites for customers.
Get a car! Be independent! This is the freedom you so desperately need. With a finished apprenticeship and a possibility to leave your old life behind... The rest will fall into place. Everywhere is better than staying in the pity puddle that is your hometown.
Boo! Then I'd run away

Drop out of college to enter the workforce as you were not properly prepared for college and you still don't know what career you want. Don't join the military. Save up for a car.

This is your last chance to admit your feelings before you drift apart and you never talk to her again.
Also, be nicer to grandma and spend more time with her, you have far less time than you've convinced yourself you have.
Be kind to yourself
Take that job in Nigeria do a few years and you should be set. Don't overthink it.
I know what you're going through. Trust me it'll get worse. But afterwards it's good you didn't do it. It gets sooooo much better just a year or so after. You'll be happy just sit tight for a bitband do what you think is right.
