List of Top 10 Best Online Dating Apps in Nigeria 2020 For Single People

1. Tinder

Still one of the top best online dating apps in Nigeria and all over the world with over 8 million users. There is a high probability of getting hooked up on this app.

The app is free but if you want premium features you have to pay close to $15 per month. Tinder has been in existence for a while and it should be one of the apps that have the potential to hook you up with the right person that fits your lifestyle.

2. eHarmony

eHarmony is another big name in this niche. It can match the biggest names in the online dating app market.

The largest age groups on eHarmony are 30-44 years old and 55-64 years old. The signup process is difficult because of the questionnaire on the application.

This app is responsible for most marriages in the U.S.A. you get three months free upon registration and the brand claims that after the first three months you will get hooked up.

3. Hinge

This is another big online dating app for you whether you are a Nigeria or anywhere in the world because of how the application works. Hinge matches you with users who you share common interests with.

It also shows you who like you and why they like you making it very easy to start a conversation.

The app has a questionnaire that you fill out upon signing up the algorithm uses this questionnaire to filter people you have a common interest with.

4. Match

This is another huge app it initially started as a website it is one of the most used dating applications and websites on the internet.

The age groups start between 45 to 65. The app is free but if you want to message potential partner you have to pay a subscription fee of $21.99 per month.

5. Happn

This is another unique online dating app it uses your location to connect you with other users that are near you.

The app has over 70 million users worldwide and there a big opportunity that you will meet your neighborhood crush on the app.

It stands as one of the best dating apps online with the number of unique visitors each month.

6. Facebook

The Facebook app is one of the most popular and most used apps in Nigeria and even the whole world, this makes the app suitable for dating because of its ability to find NEW PEOPLE.

This app can help you and ease the struggle to see new people and to help you find a partner.

Facebook already knows a lot about you and that’s why finding a suitable partner on Facebook and dating on this app is smooth and it is quite easy.

Facebook is one of the most visited websites in Nigeria and having a chance to date on the app will only make people spend more time on the app.

7. OkCupid

This is one of the biggest dating apps available; it has been there for years and has a friendly interface. Registration is not difficult and profile can be directly linked to Instagram.

This app uses your information to filter out people you share opposing views with. So if you end up finding a suitor both of you must share certain characteristics together.

When it comes to reliability, I won’t recommend as the app has a lot of bugs and user experience is also not perfect.

8. Bumble

This has to be one of the best online dating apps and what I love most about this app is that when they’re a match the woman will be the one to message first. it shares a lot of similarities with tinder. On this app, guys don’t have much power.

There’s a time frame of 24 hrs for a woman to chat up a man. This makes it a bit different and also adds pressure to the woman on this app the man has limited responsibility.

The app has a friendly user interface and easy profile set up process and their ability to let women take control is the biggest reward that the app developers have reaped. If you are a woman and you don’t like initiating conversations then bumble is not your place.


9. Plenty of Fish

This is one of the oldest online dating apps out there. In 2017 they 90 million users globally with that amount, you are sure to link up with your perfect match.

It takes less than 24 hrs to get hooked up on the website. This apps actually combines tinders technique and Happens ability to reach users near you.

The app has its own uniqueness and user’s profiles can be traced easily and allow for instant messaging.  This app will take your uniqueness and match you with similar characters.


10. Tastebuds

If you love music this app will help you in finding the perfect match. As the name implies “Tastebuds” matchmaking is based on music love on this app. Once you signup and include the music preference the app will match you up with some people who have the same music taste as you.

The app has a total of 500 thousand users worldwide which is small and that’s one of the downsides of the application. this application is not available for android users and that’s another issue, to begin with.

Check App store for the dating apps.
