Simpliride, a driver-led ride-hailing platform, has launched in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, offering a subscription-based alternative to Uber and Bolt. The initiative marks a major shift in Nigeria’s gig economy, empowering drivers with better pay and protections.
Its flagship product which simplifies transport payments has surged in transaction volumes, processing over ₦20 billion already in 2024, and helping them achieve profitability status, Afolabi said.
Hunting for suitable accommodation in Nigeria can be likened to an extreme sport. In the process, there's the risk of getting scammed, the reality of spending numerous hours on futile attempts, and the annoying dealings with sexist Landlords. The mandatory upfront one or two year rent that comes post-hunting is also worth mentioning.
