If you’re a Nigerian that uses ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt to get around, then you know that it comes with its own fair share of stress — from clueless drivers to unwarranted surges.
Here are 13 things you have undoubtedly experienced:
1. When you’re about to order a ride and you see a surge.

Why did you now give me this one?
