The term boda-boda actually comes from the English words shouted by their drivers “border border”.
Hailing from Kenya, I usually keep abreast on what is going on in that part of the world on a regular basis. The other day whilst I was researching for material for my next write-up, I came across an article on the “Boda Boda’’ a type of motorbike that is fast becoming popular in Kenya and other parts of East Africa. The article was about how these boda-bodas are taking on Uber.
Naturally because I also write on Ubermoto too, my curiosity was whetted and I ended up doing research for this writeup and of course, the other one is now waiting in queue to be written.
