The City of David parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Lagos has launched an online dating website, a development that has caused quite the stir on social media.

A disclaimer on the Connectnow platform says it is meant for only Christian singles to connect for courtship and marriage.
So, presumably, there will be no room for hook-up merchants to turn it into a place of business (looking at you Tinder).
The unusual launch of the website has provoked a wide range of reactions from Nigerians who cannot miss a good opportunity to throw in their two cents, or five.

Despite the social media stir, Christian dating sites are not a new phenomenon, and have existed as long as online dating platforms have been a thing.
Nigeria even already has a religious dating site known as Nigerian Christian Singles Network.
Outside the country, there are others like Christian Mingle, Big Church, Christian Cupid, and many others.
Creating a Christian dating website is not a bad idea. The world is increasingly becoming digital and Christians themselves can do with a platform tailored to their spiritual taste.
It's unclear if the social media stir played a part, but registration on the RCCG's Connectnow platform has been disabled till January 2022.
