The dangers of internet dating is still prevalent in Nigeria despite huge cries from many singles and attached Nigerians. Mind you, the gruesome murder of Cynthia is still fresh in the minds of many Nigerian parents who are always worried about the way their daughters are glued to their smartphones 24-7.

There are many internet dating apps out there apart from Facebook which helps single guys and girls to find love and companionship on the internet. Among a few includes 2Go (Popular with youngsters), Twitter (Microblogging), Flirchi, Tinder, Grindr (Gay lovers), Tango, NAIJing, and of cos, Badoo, one of the kings in the business.

As a single introvert kind of guy, meeting ladies is mostly done through social media. Don’t get me wrong, I meet ladies on the street all the time, but there is this thing about internet dating that makes life simple and easy. Besides, we are all familiar with antics of Nigerian girls you meet on the street. They can be as sweet as a honey and be vampires as well. Internet dating is indeed God sent to guys like me. It gives us a ample supply of ladies to choose from.

I met a lady on Badoo recently, the chat was pretty good, collected her number and migrated the chat to whatsapp. After finding out the things we had in common like been down to earth, indulging in things people find as anti social, you know, getting high on weed and pills, which was mostly fun stuffs, we decided to meet. On getting to her place as she requested, she wasted no time in loading up shisha and some packs of Skunk which I gleefully rolled up nice and long.

After a few drags, I felt it was time to get to business, mind you, I said business, not sex. Anyway, I tried getting to know her as usual, but she wasn’t encouraging any sort of discussion. All I gathered from her was that she loves real niggers, whatever that means. The the phone calls started coming. She started pleading with a guy to forgive her and not to be angry with her, as a sharp guy, I had a feeling I was been set up, so I quickly set my alarm to 6pm as a safety measure to get the hell out of her room.

The call to me sounded like I was attempting to rape her and shit, I have read enough book to read people’s body language and I was getting serious bad vibes from her. I have smoked with weed with a lot of guys and ladies, but for some reason, I didn’t trust this particular lady. So I also got talking about me wanting to leave soon and stuff, making sure my voice was equally as loud as hers, just in case someone was out there to cause trouble.

After she noticed I was agitating to leave, the begging and forgiveness phone calls stopped. I was still on the edge, I honestly wanted to leave right there, she then brought out her old albums for me to go through, mind you, she has a smart phone where we could just exchange phones and talk about past lives and past friends. You know, exchanging love war battle stories… Along the line, she told me she was expecting another friend, a guy, who according to her is her close friend but has never visited her apartment before. Alarm bells started ringing loudly again.

Is this an honest coincidence or what, truth be told, I do not believe in coincidences, so I kept my cool and waited. As the guy came, we all smoked up together while I engaged myself with writing an article for my blog. After a while, the guy made a call and was directing his friend over to where we were. Ghen ghen ghen, mind you, all these while, their conversation was in Yoruba language. I had been pretending I don’t understand the language so they felt very comfortable in communicating mostly with it while thinking I was been left out of the plan.

A while later, the guy got up and said he was leaving, I got up as well that I was leaving, but they both pretended not to hear me. Anyway, I got up and started lacing up my shoes only for the lady and the guy to quickly leave the room without waiting for me. Anyway, I laced up, left her room and waited for her outside her gates, after 30 minutes, this babe hasn’t come back yet. I started getting worried, then I located an elderly woman, greeted her and engage her in a conversation to get a bearing of what this environment was like. The old woman looked at me dead in the eyes and said, young man, I can see you are from a good family, but this area is too rough for someone like you to be visiting, if you like yourself, better head for the main road and disappear.

I was shocked! Wtf was she talking about, anyway, I quickly added her warning to the list of bad vibes I was getting and quickly disappeared. Can you imagine, the moment I was on the bike, she started calling. I ignored the call till I got to a safe distance and politely told her I was grateful for her company but I don’t think I can be friends with her. She laughed on the phone and promptly told me never to call her anymore. Whew, I was relieved.

Internet dating is a beautiful thing, but its more beautiful if we all use our brains and common sense to know the kind of people we are meeting, for Christ’s sake, its also semi blind dating. Who knows if I didn’t follow my instinct, would I have been able to share this story?

Be smart, question more and be vigilant!
