AY Compares Driverless Uber to African Juju Technology

Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, shared a video comparing his experience with a driverless Uber in the United States to the use of “juju” in Africa. In the video, AY demonstrated how the car drove itself to his destination, stating, “See na this car dey drive by itself.

Na my own Uber be this, e don dey carry me go where I dey go.” He explained that he unlocked and started the ride using his phone. AY commented on the technological advancements in the U.S. while addressing Africans who argue against claims of being behind in technology.

He stated, “When oyinbo dey tell una say them no be una mate, una go dey follow them dey argue ‘Una go dey use una own juju dey do different thing, dey kill people for Africa.’” This experience occurred on AY's birthday, highlighting his perspective on the differences in technology between Africa and the West.
