Lesson on how we can conquer Western startups

I can’t say I have not enjoyed the back and forth, plus it didn’t particularly take long for @dataGuru to bring the thread home and make it about Uber. That said, she should see a prior conversation here for context.

To the fine gentleman who said there is no reason for UberNigeria to exist, that is ridiculous. Even the beloved China example that has been touted to make the protectionist point has UberChina playing in it, albeit constantly losing.

Oh, and I should address these.

You can say the same about our local airlines.

Your previous problem was foreign companies not employing and empowering the populace. I am pretty sure the drivers manning those Uber rides on the streets are Nigerians.

That said, your argument is all over the place and clearly simply grasping at straws. Of course that’s ignoring your references to race and bigotry.
