With more than 200 million inhabitants, Nigeria has become in a few years one of the most populated countries in the world. It is also one of the most Internet-connected countries in the world. Hence the interest to use dating platforms if you want to meet a single Nigerian woman or man.
There are hundreds of dating platforms, both websites and applications.
Some dating sites are free, other dating sites are for people over 50 years old, or others only for romantic relationships.
Difficult to make the right choice. Below, our selection of the best dating sites and apps for Nigerian singles.

The 1tense service is very interesting because it is a 100% free dating site and dating app for singles looking for a serious relationship.
Even if there are far fewer members than on other dating platforms, there are more and more Nigerian singles on 1tense. If it is number 1 of our ranking is that it is 100% free, without hidden fees.

The interest of the NaijaPlanet site is that it is a 100% free dating service and therefore has many members. There are no hidden fees. The site is paid through the display of advertising.
The site offers a lot of members, with quality profiles, the moderation seems active.
The only weak point of Naija Planet is that there is no mobile application and that the interface, although simple, is not fun.

This platform is only available as a dating site (no applications) and offers singles, male or female, to place an ad to meet people.
The messaging system of MeetNigerians is free, so you don’t have to pay to meet people with this site.
If it has the advantage of age, MeetNigerians has missed the turn of the mobile application and does not offer a very modern interface.
