Some Nigerians are calling on Bolt to ban bookings from outside the country for now, following allegations that South Africans are harassing bolt drivers all the way from their country.
One of the affected Nigerian Bolt drivers who opened up to an X user identified as @MissPearls said, “I feel so sad, Idon’t know what to do. Someone booked a ride from me yesterday in Port Harcourt. I drove all the way from Agip to New GRA only for the person to cancel.
“I’ve been told South Africans are booking rides here from their Country to waste time and fuel of the driver. I needed the money. My wife is in hospital and I have bills. I’m crying as I type this, is on fair.”
@MissPearls reacted with the suggestion,
“Bolt needs to somehow ban bookings from outside Nigeria for now. South Africans are harassing bolt drivers all the way from their country to waste time and fuel for drivers. This is EVIL. This cruelty MUST STOP!”

@Ndubisi941 said, “South Africans started booking Nigeria bolt drivers while being in their country using fake Nigeria addresses. Now Nigerians are returning the same booking from Illorin.”

There are Speculations that this latest development is not isolated from the Miss South Africa “online war” between Nigerians and South Africa for the xenophobic treatment of Chidimma Adetshina and her family.
Recall that Chidimma Adetshina after winning the Miss South Africa beauty crown was forced to step down and join the Miss Universe Nigeria platform after her forceful withdrawal from the Miss South Africa pageant show.
