IgboCrush is the first—and only—dating and marriage platform dedicated exclusively to Igbo singles, both at home and in the diaspora. Whether you’re an Igbo living abroad, or someone (Igbo or non-Igbo) who wants to date and marry into Igbo culture, IgboCrush brings you together in one vibrant, safe community. No other app focuses so precisely on connecting Igbos across borders, cultures, and interests.

Why IgboCrush Is Unique

Diaspora Focus: There is currently no other platform targeting Igbos living outside Nigeria. We bridge that gap by spotlighting diaspora profiles and making it simple to find fellow Igbos—whether you’re in London, Toronto, Houston, or anywhere else.

Inclusive of All Igbos: Of course, IgboCrush is just as valuable for Igbos who still reside in Nigeria. Even if you live in Enugu, Lagos, or Aba, you can connect with diaspora Igbos (or local Igbos) who share your heritage and values.

Open to Non-Igbos: If you’re not Igbo but want a partner immersed in Igbo language, traditions, and family values, IgboCrush is the place to meet genuine, culturally grounded Igbo singles.

Key Features
Verified Profiles

Every member must pass photo and identity verification before accessing chat features. This keeps the community authentic and trustworthy.

Verification badges let you see at a glance who has confirmed their identity, reducing fake profiles and scams.

Advanced Matchmaking Filters

Search by age, location (city or country), educational background, profession, and even specific Igbo-centric interests (e.g., “Ndụ uwa,” “Ọbịala,” “Atilogwu dance,” etc.).

Filter for diaspora-only, within-Nigeria-only, or combine both to expand your horizons.

Real-Time Chat & Video Calling

Send messages, emojis, voice notes, and photos in a fully encrypted chat.

Instantly see when someone is typing or has read your message.

Schedule or initiate one-on-one video calls without leaving the app, perfect for bridging time zones.

Cultural Hub & Community Events

Stay updated on Igbo concerts, festivals, weddings, and local meetups—both in Nigeria and abroad.

Join virtual hangouts, cooking classes (e.g., how to make ofe nsala), language bootcamps (“Learn basic Igbo greeting”), and more.

Connect through interest-based Groups (e.g., Shippers of Igbo literature, Ndụ Mmụọ spiritual circle, etc.).

Daily “Crush Picks”

Every morning, get a curated list of suggested matches based on your preferences and in-app activity.

Swipe or tap “Like,” then chat if you’re both interested—no spammy swiping required.

Safety & Privacy Controls

Decide who sees your full profile: you can restrict visibility to local Igbos, diaspora Igbos, or everyone.

Report or block users with a single tap if they violate community guidelines.

All personal data—profile info, photos, chat logs—is stored securely with industry-standard encryption.

Language & Cultural Filters

Choose to browse profiles that speak Igbo, English, or both. If you want a partner who can converse in native dialect, simply toggle the “Igbo-language” filter.

Highlight shared cultural values like “family-oriented,” “traditional naming,” “ancestral heritage,” and “Ọjị kola blessings” to make deeper connections.
