Hunting for love online, a friend once told me, is like looking for money on a busy road. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll find anything on the road because it’s not a destination for money seekers.
Even if this buddy of mine is partially correct, it still doesn’t change the reality that impossibility is nothing.
After all, we’ve heard a number of stories about people who have discovered love through the internet. There are also stories of people who, although not finding love, met people on dating services who they will remember for the rest of their lives.
However, we’re aware of the ills and downs that come with online dating. Therefore, it is advisable for one to apply caution when exchanging details, especially when it comes to visiting (him) for the first time.
Here are some of the top free dating sites in Nigeria for single people
1. Friendite
Friendite.com comes in first on our list of the best free dating sites for singles across the country.
Since its introduction in 2012, Friendite has been one of Nigeria’s fastest growing social dating sites.
Members can post photographs, videos, organize events, wall news feeds, blogs and groups, read the latest news, and play games with other members, making it more than simply a dating site.
Furthermore, among all the Nigerian dating services, Friendite has the best design and layout, making the experience exceptionally user-friendly.
As a result, over 84,000 registered members and 9,000 daily visitors flock to the site.
2. Sexy Naija
Sexy Naija comes in second on our list of the best free dating sites. This website is promoted as one of the top free dating services in Nigeria, and it is thought to be the most established, having launched in 2005.
Surprisingly, this Nigerian website is completely free; there is no need to pay for a premium membership.
And, like other dating sites, you join up by supplying standard information such as blood type, religion, occupation, marital status, drinking habits, and so on.
Instant Messaging, Chatting, a Forum, a Blogging Application, and your own internal email are just a few of the appealing features of Sexy Naija. All of these tools are designed to improve your user experience and promote effective communication amongst singles.
3. Tinder
Tinder appears to be familiar to everyone. This is due to the fact that it has exploded into the latest rage in online dating.
There is no end to where a Tinder user may be located, from London to New York, down to Lagos and Abuja.
Tinder, unlike the other dating services listed above, is a mobile application (available on Blackberry, Apple, and Android devices) that can be downloaded for free.
Once you’ve downloaded the app, you simply swipe left or right depending on whether you’re interested in someone. Tinder sends you a notification if you like someone who likes you back, and you can message each other. That’s all there is to it!
4. Naijaplanet
Naijaplanet.com comes in fourth place in our list of the best free dating services for singles.
Because of the website’s easy-to-use tools like the basic and advanced search functions, instant messaging, chat rooms, video gallery, message boards, and more, users of Naijaplanet affirm that the dating site is 100 percent free and that it is simple to search and communicate with people in their community.
Naijaplanet, which was founded in 2008, offers a gorgeous, straightforward, and easy-to-navigate website that receives over 3000 daily hits and has over 44,000 registered members.
5. Meet Nigerians
Because of two factors, this site ranks last on our list of the best free dating sites.
To begin with, it is not intended for Nigerians residing in Nigeria, but rather for Nigerians living in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Second, in order to use the site for purposes more than the basic ones, such as sending SMS, you must pay a Gold Membership price, which varies based on the length of time you want to use it.
However, a large number of Nigerians from Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt have enrolled on our dating site, so if you join and start involved with Meet Nigerians, you’ll be hooked in no time.
You, on the other hand, do not need to pay for the gold premium in order to join in.
