Finding Love Online: Nigeria’s Dating App Dilemma
Imagine you’re at dinner when someone asks, “Are you on a dating app?” Reactions range from laughter to sudden menu fascination. Yet more of us have tried these apps than admit it.

The path may have changed, but the search for connection remains the same.
