Online dating is something that has come to stay. But if you ever decide to meet up with any Nigerian guy from the internet, you must be extra careful. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not trying to paint Naija guys evil.

But with things happening around and activities of ritualists, It’s advisable to be careful when meeting somebody you met online. You can find your soulmate online. Yeah, my friend, who recently got married, met her husband on Facebook.

However, you can never be too careful when meeting someone online for the first time. Don’t forget that the person might have an ulterior motive. Also, he could be genuine with his intention. Whatever her purpose is, it’s good to be prepared and stay safe.

In this article, you will learn how to stay safe when meeting a Nigerian Guy from the internet.

Tips To Stay Safe When Meeting A Nigerian Guy You Met From The Internet

#1. Research About Him Before Agreeing To Meet

The first thing you should do when meeting a Nigerian guy from the internet is to research about him. Most often than none, the guy may not give you enough information about himself.

Well, Google makes a whole lot of things easier. You can search his name on Google, trust me a whole lot of information about the person will pop up. You can see more of his pictures and some other relevant information.

From the research, you will have a rough idea of the kind of person you are meeting. And if you think the guy’s lifestyle is the rugged type, then you should decline meeting him physically.

#2. Don’t Give Out Personal Information About Yourself

You don’t give much information about yourself when dating someone online. As a rule, never share personal information that can be used against you.

If I were you, I’d never share information like places I always visit, where my family members live, and my salary, to saw one I just met online. It’s a rookie mistake that could be very dangerous.

#3. Make A Video Call With Him

Most times, people use fake images on their online profiles. So, ensure you make a video call with a Nigerian guy before agreeing to meet. The essence of the video call is to ascertain that the person is who he claims he is.

Also, ensure that the voice on the audio call is the same as that on video calls. If not, then something is fishing. Avoid such a meeting because the guy could be dangerous.

Do you think I’m judging too quickly? Okay, what could make a guy be faking his identity to the woman he claims to love? Well, I will leave that for you to answer.

#4. Plan Your Meeting

Ensure you plan your meeting very well. The first thing you should do is to fix your meeting point in a public place. Somewhere very busy where he can’t try to make some dangerous move.

Never agree to meet with a Nigerian guy from the internet in private or secluded places like a hotel or their houses. Many girls have lost their lives because of this and others have been raped.

Some guys may seem very friendly and genuine online. But behind this niceness could be someone seriously hunting for the next ritual victim. So, be very careful, don’t allow them to use you to buy Lexus gift.

Again, you can share your location with your friends and family using your phone. And if you can go with any of your friends, that won’t be a bad idea. Hey, don’t overdo it. Just because I said, you should carry your friends didn’t mean you should go there with a bevy of ladies.

#5. Tell Someone Else About The Date

Don’t be secretive about meeting someone from the internet. Tell one or two persons about the date, the location, and when you are supposed to be back.

If you tell someone about the date, he or she can raise the alarm when you didn’t return at the expected time. It gives you confidence once you know that people are aware of your date. And find a way of telling your partner indirectly that people are aware of the date.

#6. Don’t Go With Your Car

Taking public transport is safer when meeting someone from the internet. When things go wrong, you can easily find your way back home using public transport. Even if you decide to go with your car, try to park it in a way that you can quickly move it in case of anything

#7. Don’t Drink Too Much

Most ladies are victims of this. How can you drink too much when meeting a guy from the internet for the first time?

Don’t forget that the guy may have an ulterior motive. If possible, avoid taking alcohol to remain active throughout the date. And once you notice that he’s trying to make you drink too much, end the meeting immediately.

#8. Carry a Pepper Spray

I hope you don’t have to use this, but it’s better to stay safe than sorry. Just be prepared in case the guy is trying to do some hanky panky, use the pepper spray and escape. Ensure you blocked such person from contacting you again.

You can never be too careful when meeting a Nigerian guy from the internet. Always remember that it’s better to be safe than sorry.

When meeting anyone online. Some ladies set men up to be robbed too. Stop the stereotype abeg.
Re: How To Stay Safe When Meeting A Nigerian Guy You Met Online by Nobody: 1:28pm On Oct 28, 2019
The simple fact is that so many things are just different in Nigeria. From people in Uber being hailed by car thieves, to criminal syndicates robbing Jumai riders of iPhones, to being set up for robbery by your artisans / house helps. You can never be too paranoid in this country of ours.

Thanks for the opinion. Its wrong to still believe women are the only endangered specie of human, in fact, these days men are more endangered than women. Just that, we're smarter and may quickly sense danger unlike women.

Re: How To Stay Safe When Meeting A Nigerian Guy You Met Online by Duggedised12(f):
Couldn't be more timely with this thread. Op just might have saved a life. The odds of meeting a dangerous man online in Nigeria is so high i still wonder how ladies comfortably up and go visit a man they met on the internet in his comfort zone. If anything happens to you typical Nigerians will say "wetin you go find there?". Serial killer nor dey show for face o. With the amount of ritual killings ,gang raping in the country its safe to say dating online in Nigeria is the most risky ever cos many victims are not even alive to say their stories.

I once met a nairalander here, he was so easy to talk to we soon became chat buddies but i noticed there was no meaningful timeline on his face book ,i didnt take it serious until i also noticed he never posts on his status atleast not that i could see. Before you know it ,he started pestering me to come to lagos to visit him.
I decided to do some digging myself only to find out the Facebook account he gave me wasn't his real one ,the real one has his marriage and all. His wife was even pregnant, yes he is a nairalander,he could have easily been a ritualist oo.maybe na runs girl dem for tag me wen i go missing.

Also there is another strategy they are using now especially on nairaland, dating groups, yes you heard me, dating groups,many guys come together to form dating groups and come to nairaland to haunt for "ready to settle down" ladies cos they know this type of ladies have a bit of desperation in them, so they pass these ladies around in the group all in the name of dating, some of these so called "serious relationships " can last as long as up to a year before they pull the plug on the unsuspecting lady and the next guy in the group comes in to mark his own register.

Becareful ladies, be very careful of these men you meet online,let she that has ear hear o.

If you are a lady reading this and you didn't take anything away from this thread, just read the comments of men on this thread ,it will give you the idea that no man is worth putting your life at risk to meet, these men will readily call you a runs girl for even coming to meet them in their comfort zone anyway so why make it more difficult for yourself if you are not a runs girl to visit a Nigerian man who already sees you as cheap

You are not smarter anything. Na una still be danger to yourselves. This isn't about smarter, if a woman is out to kill you, she will. But women are just not as VICIOUS as men. Highest na to steal money. Na your fellow man go still kill you last last. grin

Login in to your gmail and turn on your data.

Then give your friend at home the gmail password.

Don't turn on your data cause as far as its on it would keep tracking.

If u get kidnapped as far as your phone is with you it would track to your location or the last location it was before it was turned off. This would help
