the child is in africa and the other parent had a dependent visa as I was a student at the time and her visa was expired couple of mounths ago, so she left the UK as I didn't have a job at the time to meet the financial requirments

You can only register your child abroad, if you are British Citizen. It is not possible with your ILR, it is possible if the child is born in UK, Gurus may correct me if I'm wrong.

That's correct and one parent would have to be British or applying to naturalise at the same time and the other parent as well as the child, settled in the UK, I'm afraid.

Settlement means in this scenario, ILE/ILR.
