Rida Nigeria Revolutionizes Ride-Hailing with Upgraded App Features

Rida Nigeria, the groundbreaking set-your-price ride-hailing service, is pleased to announce a significant update to its RIDA app for passengers and RIDA driver app for drivers. The new upgrade, now available on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store, aims to provide customers with a seamless and enjoyable ride experience while empowering drivers with enhanced features and safety measures.
Announcing the new update at a press conference in Lagos, James Arewa, a City Lead for Rida, emphasized, “The RIDA app update is designed to give drivers a seamless, stress-free, and cost-efficient way to earn an income. For riders, it is designed to provide a faster, more reliable, and enjoyable ride experience without breaking the bank, as they can negotiate their fares.”
The latest version of the RIDA app introduces a time-saving and super-fast navigation system, allowing riders to set their own prices and enabling nearby drivers to bid for rides within 20 seconds. This streamlined process enhances convenience and ensures that both passengers and drivers have a mutually beneficial experience.
One of the key additions to the RIDA app is the safety button, which allows customers to send an instant SOS message to customer support during emergency situations. This feature ensures prompt assistance and reinforces Rida Nigeria’s commitment to passenger safety.

The RIDA driver app now includes an activity score, which helps monitor driver behavior and ensures compliance with professional ethics. By promoting responsible conduct, Rida Nigeria creates a safe and conducive atmosphere for both drivers and customers.

Moreover, customers can now share their live location with friends and family, enabling them to monitor their rides from anywhere in the world. Rida Nigeria has also implemented a 24/7 customer support service with well-trained professionals to address queries and issues promptly, ensuring seamless resolutions.

Since its launch in March 2020, Rida Nigeria has been charging zero commission on fees earned by drivers, allowing them immediate access to their earnings without any transfer period.
The ability for drivers to bid for trips, view full routes before accepting rides, and the flexibility to skip trips without penalties have made RIDA’s model highly appealing and empowering for drivers.

With the introduction of the enhanced app features and the exceptional Rida team, Rida Nigeria is well-positioned to lead the ride-hailing industry in Nigeria

Rida Nigeria’s CEO Osi Oguah stated, “We are committed to listening to our stakeholders, including customers and drivers, to consistently improve our product and exceed their expectations.”

To experience the convenience and benefits of the new app, the RIDA app for riders and RIDA driver apps can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store. Join the Rida revolution and #movewithrida. For further inquiries, please contact Rida support via email at support@rida.app.

Sarz Is Cultivating Future African Sounds

The world’s number one Scotch Whisky brand partnered with Grammy award-winning producer Sarz to celebrate his musical journey in the Nigerian music scene. And when Johnnie Walker is in your system, and Sarz’s sound mix is setting the mood, you know you’re about to have a good time.

In honour of the collaboration and celebration of the Nigerian creative industry’s progress, we look at how Sarz is contributing to and inspiring new sounds coming out of Africa.

If you’re an afrobeats enthusiast, you’ve likely heard the producer tag “beat by Sarz”, “Sarz on the beat”, and more recently, “Really”. Born Osabuohien Osaretin, Sarz is a music producer and DJ who’s been killing it in the music industry for more than ten years.

Since he made his first hit, Jahbless’s Joor Oh remix in 2010, Sarz has been ahead of many others. Known for his unique approach to production, he’s carved out his niche, and it has placed him high on the list of seasoned producers from Nigeria. Sarz has produced for global artists like Beyoncé, Drake, Chris Brown and Skepta.

And out of a zeal to help budding producers and songwriters, he officially established the Sarz Academy (in partnership with YouTube) in 2015. Over 500 creatives have passed through the academy so far. Through it, he’s mentored popular names like D-Tunes, Jay Pizzle, Kel-P, Legendury Beatz, P.Priime, Dunni, Tempoe, who’ve gone on to be huge successes.

In 2019, Sarz made a very bold statement with his first solo body of work, Sarz Is Not Your Mate, an instrumentals-only project to remind his colleagues and the public that he has no match. The same year, he performed his first major DJ set at Gidifest. In 2020, Sarz set himself apart further when he put out his debut sound packs of numerous drum kits, Afrobeats loops, FX, textures, guitar rhythms, for producers to sample and loop on Splice.

His dedication and adventurous spirit has edged him forward to be the partner and focus of Johnnie Walker’s 2023 “Walkers Mix” event. Attended by popular musicians, media personalities such as Reminisce, Wurld, Vee (former BBNaija housemate).

The party became more interesting with games and fun activities like Jenga and painting, shots, cocktails and spin on Sarz’s exclusive beats.

In the spirit of camaraderie, we bask in the brilliance of remarkable talents that mold our world, like an enchanting symphony, resonating with every heartbeat. Raise your glasses high and toast to the brilliant partnership between Johnnie Walker and Sarz, the masterminds behind indelible memories, alongside the boundless creative community that ignites our collective inspiration!

Five Types of Students at The ASAP Quiz Competition

Have you ever witnessed secondary school students participating in a quiz competition? If like us, you have, then you would agree that these competitions are filled with exciting, attention-grabbing reactions from the participants that keep you glued to your seats! MTN Foundation, in collaboration with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), has put together a quiz competition for secondary school students on substance abuse.

We attended the elimination stage of the competition which was held virtually between June 6th and 7th, 2023, and watched students answer some pretty tough questions on substance abuse until six finalists emerged to compete for the grand prize on June 23rd, 2023. Here are the five kinds of students we met during the competition;

The Efikos

These are the students that essentially ate their study materials from cover to cover. They didn’t shy away from difficult questions and even sometimes went further to provide reasons for their answers. They came prepared to win the grand prize.

The Shy Ones

Even when they knew the correct answer to the questions, they were shy to speak up. Luckily, each school had three representatives so in cases like these, the other students were there to echo the correct answer to secure their school’s points.

The Ones That Couldn’t Wait for Lunch Break

Let’s just say food is life because we watched students light up like Christmas trees during the lunch break. Students who once seemed quiet and reserved quickly became active chatterboxes when the break was announced.

The Prayerful Ones

Source: Zikoko Memes

We saw students whisper words of prayers before answering every question. As they say, ‘what God cannot do does not exist’.

The Cheerful Ones

Source: Zikoko Memesz

This set of students remained cheerful throughout the competition irrespective of the outcome. You could even see them cheering for their counterparts as they responded correctly to their questions. They definitely came to the competition with a ‘we are all winners’ mentality. Love to see it!

There you have it! Five types of students we met at the virtual elimination stage of the ASAP quiz competition. We can’t wait for the finals in Abuja where we get to physically meet these participants.

The Anti-Substance Abuse Programme (ASAP) quiz competition is designed to provide participants with the necessary information to make healthier personal choices and avoid risky situations that can predispose them to substance use. The competition is also designed to provide an avenue for participants to act as advocates against substance abuse, educating peers and even members of the family unit on the dangers, triggers, and effects of substance abuse.

How gomoney Gave the Hot Babes at HERtitude 2023 What They Deserved

A great event is characterised by the food, music, cliques, vibes and variety of outfits. These and lots more were what the just concluded HERtitude event was about. The ambience was vibrant, radiating excitement, fun and the I’m-about to-let-go-of-any-home-training-I-came-here-with energy.

The event was packed with activities including a fashion show, twerking competition, speed friendship, sip and paint, candle making, massage sessions, board games and karaoke, awakening the adventurer in all the hot ladies present. The fashion show was top on our list of exciting activities as we saw budding models on the runway — you’d think it was Lagos Fashion Week. Amidst all of that fun, trust gomoney to do their thing — cheering the hot babes and dishing out gifts to winners at the end of the fashion show.

Then there was the speed friendship session; ladies were caught in action, exchanging numbers. Whoever said ladies are not super friendly to each other? Well, the hot babes at HERtitude 2023 were, and we are pretty sure every lady present made one hot friend!

We weren’t playing around when we said, “Every woman deserves a break”. gomoney made this more remarkable by giving the hot ladies a well-deserved pampering. From free meal tickets to care boxes and other goodies, this is one event that would live rent-free in the ladies’ minds.

You thought we were going to end it here without mentioning the music? You know what they say about how music brings people together? HERtitude 2023 was no different. Save the karaoke, the DJ filled the air with a mix of electrifying beats and infectious melodies, and the dance floor was filled with energy from all the hot babes who came prepared. From old-school classics to modern hits, the music transcended generations, creating an atmosphere of absolute bliss.

HERtitude by Zikoko was just perfect for the hot babes in Lagos to unwind, recharge and take care of themselves. It was also a cheerful reminder that self-love is important and ladies should prioritise their well-being. It was a day filled with unforgettable moments and fun times. The hot babes unleashed their inner warriors and found solace on the dance floor. They found new sisters and created memories — one that wouldn’t be forgotten in a hurry.

If You’ve Never Attended a Fly Pool Party, Sorry to You

I’m starting to love weekends more now because of all the events I get to attend. Last Saturday, I went to Flying Fish’s pool party, and I had way too much fun. I don’t usually attend pool parties because I cannot give my haters the chance to shine by throwing me inside the pool. But I had no choice in attending this one because Zikoko said so. For once, I’m thankful for capitalism because that party was lit!

The party was at Sol Beach by Box Mall. I got there at past 12, and first fell in love with how colourful the place looked. Of course, there were many instagrammbale spots; you can’t throw a party with influencers without giving them aesthetically pleasing backdrops. There was a photo booth, where people got to take really cool pictures. There was also a runway. I got on it, strutted up and down like a supermodel and honestly, Naomi Campbell has nothing on me. I loved seeing people have fun, making videos and taking pictures on the runway in their stylish beach outfits. I need more of this at parties, please.

Most of the activities happened around the pool. I didn’t get in the pool but other people did, and they had a lot of fun. There were water gun fights, water volleyball, swimming, and some people were just peacefully floating in the pool. Those outside the pool got to play games like beer pong, and musical chairs with a twist whoever; didn’t get a chair had to jump in the pool.

Belly dancers came out to dance and remind us that hips don’t lie. There was also pool karaoke, which was super entertaining because people took their performances very seriously. People were asked to form music groups with backup singers and dancers. And boy, every single person took it seriously. If you heard that Beyoncé fell down while performing during her Renaissance tour, it’s because a group of people in VI, Lagos, Nigeria, snatched her throne for a few minutes. Or maybe they just wanted to win the cash prize, we’ll never know.

By the way, did I mention that there was free food and unlimited Flying Fish beers going around? I promise I drank responsibly. But I ate until I couldn’t anymore because I had only white rice and stew in my fridge. Don’t judge me, please.

I had so much fun. I danced until I was struggling to breathe. I literally had to take a break to use my inhaler. I love it when people choose DJs that know how to keep the crowd hyped up until the end. DJ Dayzee and DJ Neptune killed it!

The Flying Fish Influencer Party was an unforgettable experience. The venue was perfect, the activities were fun, and the energy was exhilarating. I’m so glad I got to attend.
