18+ only
NaijaHook is for adults. Under-18s are not allowed — and we take age rules seriously.

NaijaHook is built for real-life meetups — with tools and habits that help you protect yourself online and offline.

What we build in
Safety isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of how NaijaHook works.
Face verification
Live selfie check helps confirm you match your photos — so profiles feel more real.
Encrypted chats
Messages between you and someone else are end-to-end encrypted — only you two can read them.
Block & report
Cut off contact or flag behaviour anytime. You’re always in control of who reaches you.
Verification
Look real. Feel safer.
Face verification compares a live selfie to your profile photos. It’s one more signal that you’re talking to a real person — not a stolen album.
- Live selfie vs your photos
- Helps reduce fake / catfish profiles
- Works alongside block & report
Meetup tips
Before you meet IRL
No app replaces common sense. Use these habits every time.
-
Meet in public first
Busy cafés, malls, or daytime spots — never a private home on the first meetup.
-
Tell a friend
Share where you’re going, who you’re meeting, and when you expect to be back.
-
Keep chatting in-app
Stay on NaijaHook until you trust them. Don’t rush to share your number or home address.
-
Trust your gut
If something feels off — leave. Block and report in the app. You don’t owe anyone an explanation.
-
Watch for money asks
Never send money, airtime, gift cards, or bank details to someone you met online.
-
Protect your private info
Don’t share ID photos, OTPs, or exact home/work locations early on.
Something doesn’t feel right?

FAQ
Quick answers
Is NaijaHook only for adults?
Yes. You must be 18 or older to create an account and use the app.
Are my chats private?
Chats between you and another person are end-to-end encrypted. That means only the two of you can read the messages.
Do I have to verify my face?
Verification is compulsory, it helps others trust your profile — and helps you feel safer messaging people who’ve verified too.
What happens when I report someone?
Reports help us review behaviour that breaks the rules. You can also block them so they can’t message you again.
