I think it is odd that she is two years old and has not become pregnant. It is likely that she is barren but the only way you would know that for sure is to have some advance testing done at a vet clinic which I am not sure is available in Nigeria. There is nothing you can give her to make become pregnant if she was born with a defect. Your only option is probably just to wait and see what happens. If she is barren it will not cause her any ill effects and can likely live a normal life. Hope this helps. If you have more questions feel free to post again.
