    NIGERIAN DATELINE UK

    Mission:
    This is a highly dynamic Nigerian Dateline Organisation which is geared towards meeting the social and professional needs of the Nigerian community in London.

    Objectives:
    1. Introductions for single people in London.
    2. Holiday buddies (Nigeria)
    3. Professional and Social Networking
    London/England can be quite lonely, demanding and busy. Often one will go to work, come home and get ready for work the next day. And so where is the time or energy to meet anybody or especially potential partners. Nigerian Dateline UK offers you that service! The service is currently based in London but hopes to expand to other parts of England. Observations show that first time generation of Nigerian parents born in the UK are either still single or marrying out of culture. This service, however, gives people the opportunity to meet different people from the same culture. Nigerian Dateline UK believes that this is a development in the Nigerian Community in London.

    The organisation is an "Introductions Agency" - (an opportunity to meet!)

    But how can you meet? You can meet either through
    1. social appointment
    2. e-mail
    3. telephone
    4. Newsletter/advert/reference number
