MEET NEW PEOPLE
Meet Nigerians abroad who share your story
Moving abroad can be lonely in a very specific way: you can be surrounded by people and still miss being understood. Date9ja is a place to meet other Nigerians where you now live, whether you are looking for a partner, a community of people who get it, or both.
More than a dating app
Date9ja is marriage-minded at its core, but the community around it is where many members start. Ask 9ja is a place to read and ask questions about life abroad, first dates, family expectations and long-distance love, and to hear from people who have lived it.
Find Nigerians in your city
Search by city to see Nigerians near you. Whether you are in London, Manchester, Toronto, Calgary, Houston, Atlanta, Johannesburg or Cape Town, you can filter to people who share your location and your intentions.
- City and country filters for local matching

Meet safely
Every member is identity-verified. When you meet in person, the first-date guide covers choosing a public place, sharing your plan with a friend and keeping your own way home. Date9ja treats safety as part of the product, not a page you have to find.
