Great publication, as always! Another super app succeeding wildly is China’s WeChat - it packs in every utility imaginable, from chatting and payments to mini-programs where you can order cabs, food, even book flights and holidays. Maybe OPay could use this as a north star given its Chinese roots, or I wishfully imagine WeChat expanding into the Nigerian market. Would be nice to get your thoughts
Justice for Habari and Opay, especially as the skeletons of their super apps still exist, and led to the pivots that gave them new leases of life.
- Quick Credit and Squad for Habari,
- POS agents for Opay.
here's hoping Swoop discovers its own diamond in the rough in 3-5 years, after a healthy series A round.

I vaguely remember a period when a few people used WeChat in Nigeria. Not sure what happened with that.
At the moment the margins of other verticals seem too slim for the trouble.
