When I heard that Uber was leaving Nigeria after 12 years, I made a sarcastic post congratulating APC and President Tinubu for the good work they are doing.

I knew the usual suspects would come. They always do.

One person quickly told me Uber was leaving because of competition. According to him, Bolt and inDrive had taken over, inDrive lowered its prices, Uber couldn't compete, so they packed their bags.

And I knew exactly where the conversation was going.

Anything to make sure we don't discuss the Nigerian economy or the people managing it.

Uber announced on September 2, 2026 that it was ending operations in Nigeria, a market it entered in 2014. Uber itself did not say inDrive reduced prices and chased it out. It said the decision followed a review of its business.

Reuters, while reporting the exit, gave important context. Competition has increased, but so have fuel costs, inflation and currency volatility, all of which have increased operating expenses for drivers and ride-hailing companies.

That matters.

Because competition is hardly new to Uber.

Go to South Africa today.

Uber, Bolt, and inDrive are there.

In fact, South Africa is a beautiful example because inDrive is using the same affordability strategy people are claiming chased Uber out of Nigeria.

Business Day reported just last month that Uber, Bolt and inDrive are competing heavily in South Africa, especially for price-sensitive customers. inDrive's model allows passengers to propose fares and drivers to negotiate them. Bolt has cheaper products. Uber itself has responded with lower-cost options.

Uber is still there.

South Africa has around 100,000 e-hailing drivers and more than two million passengers, and Uber continues fighting for its share of that market.

Go to the United Kingdom.

Uber is still operating there while Bolt operates in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh, Cardiff and several other cities. Both companies are fighting for the same passengers and drivers.

Go to India.

Uber has been competing with Ola and other local platforms for years.

Then in February 2026, the Indian government itself backed the launch of Bharat Taxi, a new ride-hailing service created to challenge companies like Uber and Ola.

More than 250,000 drivers had already enrolled.

Imagine a government-backed competitor entering your market with a model that does not charge drivers commission.

Uber's response?

It welcomed what it called healthy competition and remained in India.

Even in America, Uber is facing pressure from Lyft and a completely different threat from companies such as Waymo and Tesla moving into robotaxis. Reuters reported today that Uber plans to invest more than $10 billion in autonomous vehicle technology as it responds to that competition.

So please, competition alone is not some magical explanation that should end the Nigerian conversation.

The more interesting question is why competition becomes much harder when you are operating inside an economy where almost everything required to provide the service keeps becoming more expensive.

The Uber driver buys Nigerian petrol.

He buys tyres at Nigerian prices.

He repairs his car here.

Many of the spare parts he needs are affected by the exchange rate.

His insurance, servicing and everyday living expenses have risen.

Then the passenger opening the app is also struggling.

Her salary has not increased at the same rate as food, rent, electricity and transport.

She wants a cheaper ride.

The driver needs a higher fare.

The platform is sitting between both of them trying to make the numbers work.

How exactly do you discuss that business without discussing the economy?

Reuters literally mentioned rising fuel costs, inflation and currency volatility in its report about Uber's exit.

Even Nigeria's own former Finance Minister under Tinubu, Wale Edun, acknowledged the problem as far back as June 2, 2024.

Apparently the “Barcola 29” #LFC  shirt sales generated enough profit in the first 2 hours after he was signed to pay for Barcola AND his wages over the duration of his contract. WOW.

We’ve essentially signed him for free, so we still have the entire Coutinho fee for January 👍
