Nigerian nationals put high regard when it comes to their education. Even though the educational system in Nigeria is a bit in a complicated situation, they seem to be doing just fine.

According to this article, 17% of Nigerians in the United States have a master’s degree, 4% have PhDs, and 37% have a bachelor’s degree.

When you do start looking for either Christian or Muslim Nigerian singles, be sure to look in the right places.

Also, take note that not all Nigerians are religious. This is one of the things to expect when dating singles from Nigeria.

How to date Nigerian singles

Okay!

Now that you have a basic understanding on the characteristics of a Nigerian , let’s move on to how you can start a relationship with one.

Learning these Nigerian dating tips could really help you understand their culture better and what Nigerian women expect when they enter into a relationship with you. Also, it would help you not make a fool of yourself and lose the chance of getting to know an incredible lady.

1. They are looking for serious relationships

Nigerian singles are more likely to go for serious relationships rather than casual ones. That’s just a fact.

So how can you show that you’re serious about them?

Well, you have to assure them that you’re committed. Not through only your words but through your actions.

How?

• First is to communicate with them. Tell them how you really feel and what you want for an ideal relationship. Let them into your world. This works on both ways too. Take the time to know them. Their dreams, aspirations, relationship goals, etc.
• Second is to keep your promises. Don’t be the kind of guy who is only good at making promises but never really does the act. Instead, make an effort on asking them out on dates, keeping in touch with them, and being honest and sincere when you’re together.

2. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing

When you’re getting to know someone and you start to date them, it’s only natural to give non-verbal indications that you’re attracted and interested in them. But being overly flirty and invading their personal space is a whole other thing.

You wouldn’t want to be perceived as a pervy and creepy, right?
Instead of being overly pushy, take the time in making them comfortable in your presence first. You’ve just met or started dating, don’t move it too fast. Good things take time.

So you spend some time together and get to know each other better. That’s what makes a good relationship. Aside of course from compatibility.

3. Be prepared to meet their family

When you’re dating a Nigerian, you’ll eventually get to meet their family.

We know how nerve-wracking that can be. Especially if you’re so pressured into making your first impression that you’d end up sweating and start stuttering.

Well, we’re here to tell you that don’t be. If they’re the ones you’ve always wanted and you’re serious about them, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Aside from their family’s approval.

But this could get a little complicated when you’re from a different nationality. Their family would be more curious about your culture and whether or not you’re serious about dating their son/daughter.

4. Nigerian singles like confidence

Gathering confidence when you know you’re dating online is much easier than actually meeting them face to face. Though others might find shy people charming and cute, Nigerians are more into confident people.

So what does it take to be confident in a Nigerian person’s perspective?

• To be sure about yourself.
• Not afraid to take control and take responsibilities.
• Confident but still has a sense of humility and sincerity.

But with patience, dedication, and communication, everything would go into the right place.
