Uber Latest Africa Numbers
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on August 27, 2018, 7:33 PMAs you look at these Uber numbers shared by one of its Africa's leads, think about the 200 million Nigeria population as you work on that strategy. Even Ghana, a little bigger than Lagos state, is beating Nigeria on active riders.
I get it - this does not mean anything. We have molue, cabs, okada, marwa, and many other alternatives. Yet, you cannot discount the data when a neighbor of about 30 million people is giving a business better numbers despite our 200 million strong people.
Remember my 30 million number for Nigeria?
