Can I apply for a UK visit visa as a foreign student in Malaysia? - Hand of crop anonymous tattooed person spraying white paint from can on colorful wall while standing on street of city

My elder brother wants me to visit him in the UK. He has been a British citizen for over 30 years. I am studying in Malaysia. I am from Nigeria.

Should I apply from Malaysia or go back home and apply for my visa? I am financially secure but unemployed. If I apply from Malaysia, I have all the documents from my school and financial statements, but if I go back home, I'm unable to back up my documents and I can't use my Malaysia permit to apply in Nigeria.
