UNITED STATES
Nigerian singles in America, dating with intention
From Houston to Atlanta, Dallas to the DMV, Nigerian-Americans and Nigerians in the US have built strong communities. Date9ja is where those communities meet with marriage in mind, and where the second-generation kid from Texas and the new arrival from Lagos can find they want the same thing.

Dating as a Nigerian in the US
American dating culture can feel casual to a point that never quite fits. Date9ja is the opposite: every profile states relationship intention, and matching runs on faith, family involvement, children, language at home and where you would settle. It is a dating app that already knows what your aunties are going to ask.
