A battle between Nigerians and South Africans has taken a new turn, with both sides engaging in driver ordering and cancelling spree.
The issue started when South Africans allegedly ordered and cancelled rides for Nigerian drivers for fun, prompting Nigerians to retaliate by ordering and cancelling rides for South African drivers.
The trend has been ongoing on social media, with Nigerians mobilizing to book rides in South Africa to show their superiority.
Some users have mocked South Africans for starting a “war” that they cannot win, given Nigeria’s larger population and internet access.
While some South Africans have conceded defeat, others have raised concerns about the impact on Bolt drivers’ livelihoods.
The rivalry between the two countries began after a Nigerian contestant withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant due to backlash over her nationality.
