Let me go a little deeper on this When Uber came to Nigeria, they were not only giving out bonuses to drivers, they were also giving mad bonuses to riders too Then Unilag students were everywhere using the services basically for free A driver would create a rider’s account, add the promo code and request it himself It didn’t end there o… They developed a process called simulation using a fake GPS manipulator called 'Lockito' and did not have to move their car at all to make money I will explain So imagine having an app that allows you to take a trip from point A to point B by manipulating the map? They even used it on unsuspecting riders So you are not driving the app is driving for you Some drivers had multiple accounts for this and were making mad money from not driving When this was discovered, the company added some security features like restricting a driver’s licence to a single user, building a firewall to detect third-party apps, cancelling all promo codes (I mean there used to be ₦15k promo codes), and removing the ₦1k cancellation fees, etc It was a mad time 🤣🤣🤣
