Young Nigerians talk about how Twitter as a social app is changing the dating scene.
What do you make of Twitter as a dating app?
For the young and trendy Nigerian, the use of Twitter seems to have permanently switched from being a social networking medium to a dating site and that's just so... peng.
In a clip by Zikoko young Nigerians talk about how Twitter as a social app is changing the dating scene, and how the some best love stories told in recent times seem to have Twitter as their opening scene.
There is so much love in the servers that power that app that you could get the love of your life on the network, and if you were wrong the first time, you can go back and try again... and yet again.
"I've met everybody these days on Twitter." says one of the guys in the clip.
He adds, "I met my girlfriend [and two other exes] on Twitter."

This app, unlike Tinder which is seen as more of a hooker network by Nigerians, has linked so many young guys and babes seeking love and hoping to set P.
If you do not know, 'Setting P' is a hip slang used in reference to the Nigerian guy/girl relationship dynamic... and according to the video, it is the "process whereby you set a trap for the P."
This entertaining video in which all this is discussed is the first of Zikoko's newly-launched series where young Nigerians speak on their everyday experiences and reactions to the world around them.

The aim is to hear directly from young people their thoughts and feelings on issues that concern them, without the pressure of having to 'perform' these ideas for a certain audience.
In this first video, young people talk about how the dating scene in Nigeria has changed, especially as a direct result of social media, Twitter being the focus here.
They explain the good, bad and ugly parts of using social media as more or less a dating and friendship app, and as you’ll discover by checking out the video below, it’s funny and refreshingly honest!
