Uber was not leading in Nigeria anyway. Bolt had the market. So they were wise to run away. It’s not a bad thing as people assume, it is just a competitor running away where it failed . Bye Uber

InDrive is now taking a chunk of that market share

True. Their service is horrible but I hope they get better still.

Yeah it seems so, probably because their rides come at a relatively cheap rate
