Date My Family Nigeria S1-2
The reality TV sensation from Africa Magic has come to Nigeria, and is now in its second season.
The format of Date My Family is a little different to traditional dating shows: the suitor must first go to dinner with the families of three potential dates and, based on that experience, decide who to go on a couples date with. The show is a fan favourite with tweeps who like to tweet along as the dates progress.
Make sure your family presents the perfect picture of you, abi! New episodes come to Showmax every Sunday night, express from Africa Magic.
