“Somebody has to make you people stop. I am Grand Zilan, your violence ambassador, the person you guys trusted to bring violence on others.
“But please, I am begging you people, Nigerians, please, it is time to stop. You guys have damaged a lot of businesses back in South Africa. So many businesses have closed their apps. Please, Nigerians, this is getting out of hand.
“Please, I am on my knees and I am begging you people, the giant of Africa, to stop this violence on South Africans.
“Please, Nigerians, I am begging you. You guys sat alone. They brought the violence to you people. And you guys have done it.
“Yes, we laughed and it was funny. But now it is no longer funny. You are destroying people’s businesses. You guys have already destroyed millions.
Please, I am begging you people, my Nigerian people.”

GWG.ng reports that South Africans reportedly initiated the conflict by booking rides in Nigeria and canceling them upon the drivers’ arrival at the pick-up locations. In retaliation, Nigerians employed similar tactics by booking and canceling rides in South Africa, leading to widespread disruption for drivers.
In response to the escalating tensions between the two nations, the Bolt company took a decisive action by blocking numerous accounts involved in a spate of fake ride requests and cancellations.
The company also imposed restrictions on inter-country ride requests following a surge of malicious activities between the two nations.
