Online dating apps have been on the increase this days as people more especially men and women tends to meet one another through this dating apps but it is important to note the dangers that are involved in meeting someone for the very first time in your life as most people now use through this medium to commit various crimes to humanity.

We should also be careful of how we relate sensitive information to people we meet online, don't try to impress anyone by telling them what you are into or the kind of job you do until you've met them and possibly spent some time with them before you can relate some personal information about yourself. Don't try to impress people you meet online just because you want them to like you and bring their interest to you because by so doing, you might be endangering your life, your business or your money.

And moreover, we should be cautious and careful of people we meet online when you peradventure meet them facially as you need to observe them very well and always be careful about your drinks or your food while they're around you.

When it comes to meeting people online it is something people needs to be very careful about because you don't really know the people you actually meet online and what their mission is. I have seen and heard a lot of news whereby meeting people online ended killing one person or the other. This is something that is very common and one needs to be very careful and be vigilant when ever trying to hangout with a stranger from an online dating app.

 You wrote well, mate. Nice work. Many people tend to see online dating apps as a channel for them to get their spouse, which is not so, although some take online dating apps as a place where hookup girls can be found. and everyone has their own evidence for believing their own view on online dating apps, but the rampant online dating apps now are where many people get themselves scammed; some even get themselves killed just in the name of searching for love. Is it not that I am discouraging people from partaking in your online dating app? No, but when you are using it, you should be extremely careful when disclosing your information, especially to strangers, as the OP mentioned in his topic. If you are found guilty of doing the act, you have to keep your information safe and then go far away from online dating apps.

OP brings some nice and good suggestions, of which many people usually end up victims due to their fake lives and lies they do give ladies, which is wrong. Instead of them using that time to do something tangible with their life’s day, they end up wasting it uselessly, but some gain their happiness through such acts, so I will also recommend all the advice @ Richbased gave; they are good suggestions.

Bro in as much as I wouldn't want people to see this as criticism, I will want truth to prevail, I know some person has testified that they met their life partner online, not being doubtful, the possibility of getting the right partner is slim, I didn't say it is not possible though, people you see in dating apps are not always what you think when you guys finally meet each other physically, if you want to flirt that's a good place for flirts to neet their match, it is even very risky to visit an online friend, that's why I said women takes more risk than men when it comes this, some one you don't know from anywhere will invite you over and you will willingly go for personal gain that might end your life.

We should be careful how we meet people online because we don't know what they are capable of doing or what they are suffering from, which would make our lives miserable. With the video, the OP shared in his post, if we must meet them because we had agreed on something, you guys should see each other in a hotel. In case the person has a bad intention of robbing you, he or she can only take the things you went to the hotel with.

I fit boldly tell you say 98% of online dating site them and apps wey you go find for the internet na scammers naim full am. That na why when ever them redirect me to all those kind site from my browser I dey always dey frown dey block all their ads. You fit go see girl dey talk with wey be say na Ai you dey talk you for real or e fit be say na man you dey follow gist for 3 weeks. Most of all this yahoo boys na from there some take dey get client. And talking about just meeting person and trying to impress, my brother na yourself you dey do oo. Because even if the girl no turn out to be scam, you go dey on steady billing, and that kind billing na the ones wey fit empty your account if you no wise. No matter the girl wey you date, no allow her see your pocket finish. Some come for money and nothing else.

People do find life partners or good connections online but I think what the OP is trying to relate is just for people to be very careful when dealing with people you've not met before through these social apps is not as if he's condemning the apps and moreover, talking about people getting life partners through dating apps it happens but it's very rare as most people always complain of being scammed through this dating apps and if you are into this dating apps you would agree with me that a lot of these apps are filled with scammers and fraudsters disguising themselves as people who are seeking for love online without knowing that they have ulterior motives and intention.

Many people get fascinated about these dating sites of a thing, and because of that, they don't even verify or scrutinize the kind of apps or sites that they go into. All they're just interested in they want to make new friends and do some hookups on those platforms.

Now what people face when they are trying to register in some of those dating sites is that they begin to grant some kind of authorizations to their phones and through those authorizations these hackers use that to penetrate their system, gain access to the data and information they need, and be able to compromise the system as a whole.

So it is very important to be very careful about whatever dating sites that you see out there that is being promoted. I am not against dating sites, but people often used  it to defraud other people, so it is therefore imperative as a person to take note. And be warry about things like that. Viola.

I go like share this sad story, I read am online and the pepertrator na Nigerian, but dat one no mean say we no fit be victim tomorrow, so make we just dey very careful the kind of information wey dey give out to strangers because them fit use am harm you.

E get one small oyibo boy wey be sixteen years old, him meet one Nigerian guy online, the Naija guy lie say him be female. Dem start to dey communicate, small small the relationship enter another level, e come dey romantic. The naija dude come dey request for nudes, after him don collect enough, him come ask of ransom. The oyibo boy beg tire say e no get money, the Naija guy threaten the oyibo boy sotey him no fit take am anymore, him commit suicide. Na when the parent go through him phone dem come see wetin really happen and with the help of interpol dem trace and arrest this evil naija guy, carry am go obodo oyibo make him go face him sentence there.

People that see this dating site as a necessity, is those people that has negativity but along the line the either get trapped by the person they meet their, it is not with it at all, dating can can never be better than meeting someone physically and approaching the person to be your date as the case may be, I don't know why these days people tends to be taking uncalculated risk, I can categorically tell you that many people found in those apps are more at the negative side than positive side because a man or a woman who is ripped for marriage does not consider app dating as an option, rather the choices are been made physical, if I may ask how many successful relationship went successful through app, they are just very few, so to me is not ideal.

I see people who are using dating apps like people who do not have pure intention in going into a relationship. Instead of finding love on the dating apps they get to find a onetime sex partner. However, things may proceed after that, and love may find them along the line, but it is difficult to see it go that way. Yes, it has the probability to find the type of woman you want. This is because there are several options of women in the app form different geographical area. I think that is the only benefit of dating app. What comes next doesn't really matter to both parties.

There was a time i tried using a dating app to see how it works. I met this pretty damsel online and we talk for about a week. After then she was like if she comes what will i give to her. I was like we were supposed to go for an official date, and she was like i should go straight to the point. That she's not actually here for something serious. She only needs someone she can rely on and meet up at any time. What am trying to say is that dating apps doesn't serves the purpose it was made for anymore. It's now more like a hook up platform.

Another issue i have with dating apps is how they have been able to monetize everything of which only desperate match finders can use the app successfully. It's now obvious that they are not interested in finding match. They want to benefit from your desperateness when you start paying for premium packages and yearly subscriptions. You will be seeing messages like "hey just give us $5 and we'll show you some people and for $10 more you can actually talk to them". You know when you're setting up your preference on your perfect match. These dating apps gets to understand and knows your perfect match, but they don't want to show you for free. Until you pay you won't find them.

In summary dating apps cannot help you find love. There are people out there who wants to feel love, go out, find someone, start a conversation. With time you will find that special someone you have been looking for.

Currently, this dating apps are no longer what they used to be. It's a total resource and time waste, why pay to an app for a match when I can approach a lady and get a better face to face conversations. The world is now risky, everybody has to be on guard. One other thing wey fit make person release him personal details, na base on long conversations, person no get to dey take longer conversations, limit the time we spend talking if not out of mistake we go espose wetin we no supposed allow people know.

I never try this shit anytime since my life time I can't even imagining myself giving attention to any person that claims whatever they feels and whomever they feels like. But wait how could Someone share his wealth and their income level. What i think that causes people to go through these online dating app is because they have spare time, whenever you are so occupied with work and lots of activities there's no way you would go have the space to access those online app to think about having affair with somebody online.
Most times when people starts looking for girls and boys online is for a reason of shying because most of them can't really speak out or have that boldness to speak with women.

Well for people wey dey find girls for online this one na for them and also for people wey dey carry carry girls offline. It's not good to be talking about sensitive information about yourself. Some go as far as talking about their family history both good and bad, just to make the girl happy. One thing I always tell people is that, don't talk about anything you are not asked. This will help you understand when someone is interviewing you just to extract information from you. Let's be careful with information we pass out. There are spys everywhere.

No a norm, times are evil. Meeting someone wey you know from any dating site for the first time supposed to be on a neutral ground when both parties meet. Nowadays no be the time to trust person because of say em propose love give you, that makes you to begin to the trust them to reveal much about yourself to them.

The purpose of creating or joining an Online dating site na make people find their love ones for there. But the sole purpose of that don change. People na use online dating site for where they can do hook up(prostitution), carrying out dubious acts of siphoning peoples money with lies of who they are not.

Many people have believe on this online dating app, just because they have see many people wey meet their soul mate through the dating site. We really need to be very careful, these people get woman through this dating app no mean say another person sef fit get, everything na by lucky, they can use girl as a set up to get us in any way because them know say with them we are easy to get. Many people have been kidnapped through this dating app because they think they are going to meet a lady, them no know say na set up them do for them, some people can never be smart with their life, it always said that we should be very careful with everyone around us, yet some people still go ahead they believe those people they meet online.

Op you really said that you the truth, that's how some people life take be, if any small money enter their hand they can't control their self, they just want impress girls, they should feel their doings, they will just feel like spending on woman, like this set of people if they get kidnapp, how can they even explain that they don't have money, is just packaging? We really need to be very careful with the kind of life we live around people, if we get anything we need to be very careful because who never learn, will never know.

Most people expose their invest to people they met online not because they love them but because they want to impress those lady for their selfish interest. So if such people are robbed of their invest, na watin dem dey find den see.


Dating app or site are created for different purposes. It may be dating, to mingle or for hook up. It depends on which one you wish to go for.

Online dating apps get the bad side and good side because no be every body be bad person but before you begin relax small for person wey you meet online, you go need give the person some time and no be say you go just free yourself up because you still dey study the person.

E get some common rules on how to meet person for online. The thing be say you no suppose see the person for their house or your own house but for public place like joints, eatery, malls, in fact for public place wey everybody go dey see una. Another thing be no matter how good the person appear for heart, the person still need to be kept at a distance until una gradually begin to know each other. However, some people carry hook up for mind and dem no go care to sabi the person well and dem go jump into well .

the thing is that looking for a partner In a dating app should only result in just one thing and that's a one night stand after which nothing serious should be expected out of it. This might be personal but anybody I meet in a dating app isn't someone I would want to take seriously because it's assume that she can't be trusted for real. People are damn unpredictable and most if the people joining those dating platforms are not their for any good motive. Most of them are looking for people that they will use for a bad agenda and if you go love for dating app na OYO be your case oh.

Yeah you done talk enough naw remain for we to put all this your words and advises at work, the worst part of the matter be say most of this dating apps them get collect your personal details if not person no go fit send massages or pas the verification process because you gets submit either you NIN, driving license, NEPA bill, water bill and plenty of them also include your BVN number.
So person way really won keep em details as personal stuffs supposed to know say anything way ask of those kind of details nah scam and the only way when them gets to keep safe distance nah for them not to verify those things because those details nah something way them no suppose to share with others, con even imagine am say nah internet no be face to face something and them no sabi the people way create the apps.
Every man for em self this period but here we dey always dey share tips to stay safe when it comes to Internet but as a human we are, we still have to try some of those things because we might want to try and this is the real definition of an African. We don't listen, but we should take this ones really serious.

Me safe no Sabi online dating stuff, this life is full of people that want to see your end, so why person will now go online and be looking for love, love Don kill many people for this life, even if na face to face me and a girl is dating I no dey promise her anything or tell her say I get money or see the type of work wey i dey do, even if they no explain give anybody as a man wey you be and for naija wey you dey you go Don hear how people dey take lost their lives through women and all those dating stuff.

I don't know about other people oh but for me I don't like online dating, E go better make we do am face to face make we see each other and understand each other, and for people wey dey lie for women and dey promise them heaven and earth make them continue, by the time wey them jam a dangerous woman and show them shege na that time their eyes go come clear, make everybody just dey on guide na the main thing be that.

Quoating every everything wrong about online dating, differentiating the advantages and the disadvantages to me is wrong, reason been that you will agree with me that this life we live is full of experience and experience differs, some people can no longer fine relationship withing their comfort zone due to bitter life experience they have gotten, and at a point to people like this they will know prefer a stranger and believe me you when they finally meet anyone be it dating app you see them being very nice and free to move ahead, in summary dating app is not completely bad, rather in all we do about dating same carefullnes is required irespective of where we meet them.

I done see people went marry for online dating app and till date they are happily married, people should be careful about online dating app fine and good, but I did not see you encourage it anywhere in ur write up whereas some people who fine there relationship today in online dating app are happy, carefullnes is required anywhere irrespective of where you meet the person.

Bro we have to understand that the online world offers a level of anonymousity to its users, cause you can't actually tell who is chatting with you from that Profile pic or who is behind that phone, we Nigerians dey used to how the yahoo system dey work, its just impersonation and I won't be surprised if this is now used in online dating site, but it's part of what you should expect. Just be safe, don't tell anyone about your secret details and mind what you share online.

This thing way you talk na true talk but according to Igbo people them say the best advice na the one you give yourself because if them tell ear him no hear if them cut the head ear go follow am go grave

This thing make me remember one of my guy Emma this guy anytime way money enter him hand na so him go worry me make we go ashawo quarter and me i be that kind guy way be say if i try to advise you and you dey try to tell me say you sabi pass i go tell you no vex i go come dey pet you to even help you chop the money because i know waiting go happen for front, so this guy before na him be number one guy way be like say him get money pass for our street now because of the way him take chop the money, the money done finish him eyes done open him done go village dey go stay with him mother sometimes if him call for phone dey ask me for money I go dey pity am and i no fit tell am no because na my guy

This is very important because a lot of people fall victims to such act dating online meeting people they don't no online and has far as going to see the person.A cousin of my(female)met a guy online and he invited her to him place picked her up at the park taking her to were she don't know an hotel,later at night he add sex with her before she new it she saw other of is guys from no were they raped her.and left her there stranded.thank God she was not killed.online dating is really risky.

When we look at our society anything that advantage also have disadvantage,the aim of online dating app is to connect with people across the globe or country to get to know each other and make a relationship from there but now scammer has now use it as a means to scam people calling it romance scam where by a partner falls in loves with and extorting money from the other partner not knowing it?s scam.all this ai app has also create a big way to enhance the activity of this scammer more easy for them to be able to make fake video calls and more.so I advise when encountering a online dating app you need to be careful of scammer and what information you share with the person online.because no is trust worthy.

Any thing that have merit also have demerit. For me online dating is not bad but when communicating with someone online you need to carefull the kind of information you give some one you meet online,such as source of income and more.
