Hardly, these are activities and places for people sitting pretty on the economic pile. The Lagosians I know are just trying to escape the middle-class squeeze in this recession. Uber is not middle-class if these are the top destinations.
This isn’t surprising. In Lagos, Taxi services (and Uber) have always been elitist. Thanks to the lazy methods employed by Lagos taxi drivers. They park and sleep in their cabs (or play draft or gist with fellow drivers) just to wait for one customer whom they will charge for manhours wasted in unproductive activities.
Meanwhile, Abuja taxi drivers go around scouting for passengers and are very willing to drop you off at your destination for a very affordable rate.
Money made in Lagos, stays in Lagos. Most Lagosians rarely travel. If the statistics is dominated by female customers as @youngbobby suggested, then this point is supported.
But a more serious note,wouldn’t it be cheaper if the funds being channelled to Uber is passed to a local company,probably Gomyway,Jekalo or one of these local startups?
Buy local to grow local,was the last phrase I heard on Tv.
