Nigerian diaspora in the Netherlands
People from Nigeria in the Netherlands meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.
Communities by city
Where to meet people from Nigeria in the Netherlands
No community for people from Nigeria exists in the Netherlands on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.
As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.
Compatri follows cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and La Haye, and each one can host its community.
Other diasporas in the Netherlands
There, the largest diasporas also come from Turkey, Poland, Morocco, Syria, and Germany, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Joining the Nigeria community in the Netherlands
Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.
You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.
Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
Nigeria Independence Day in the Netherlands
Every October 1, the national day brings the Nigeria diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
