I would call the airline directly, to be sure. I seem to think, with a ten hour layover, you would have to claim your luggage and re-check it, but I could be wrong. It would be a drag to have to go through customs twice -- but then again, in re-checking, at least you know your bag at least got to Paris, and will conceivably go on to Atlanta....That s going to be one long day for you! Have a safe trip.
No. They will do it for you as long as its an actual layover.If you booked a flight from Nigeria to Paris and a separate flight from Paris to Atlanta, then yes, you would have to recheck your luggage.However, if you booked a flight from Nigerial to Atlanta (with a 10 hour stop in Paris), then no, you will not have to recheck your luggage.
