It comes as great news to Nigerians and the business community worldwide that Apple has acquired Nigerian Entrepreneur, Chinedu Echeruo’s HopStop.com, reports The Wall Street Journal’s publication.

HopStop.com was founded in 2005 by Chinedu Echeruo, a Kings College Old Boy and alumnus of Harvard Business School, after working for several years in the Mergers & Acquisitions and Leveraged Finance groups of J.P Morgan Chase. HopStop.com makes mobile applications for both iOS and Android that covers over 300 cities and that helps people get directions or find nearby subway stations and bus stops, and this comes as the next WOW! effect for Apple – a major step in the chase for dominance against top contender Google which recently acquired Waze from Israel.
