“…While only a quarter of the Kenyan population has internet access, there is still a chance for growth in mobile payments. Similarly, in Nigeria, where internet penetration is approximately 34%, 60% of internet users made mobile payments in 2021 (Mas & Dan, 2010) (Adeleke, 2021) (Ajao, 2023).…”

Mobile payment has become increasingly popular due to the widespread use of smartphones and their applications. However, its adoption in African countries has been limited, despite its potential to simplify our lives. This study aims to enhance our understanding of the factors that affect the acceptance of mobile payment in Nigeria. To achieve this, the paper explores the impact of "network externalities" in addition to traditional technology acceptance factors. The study hypothesizes that the key drivers of mobile payment acceptance are performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, trust, and network externality. The research findings suggest that while traditional drivers still play a role in customers' willingness to adopt mobile payment, network externalities have the strongest impact. Although the results did not support the influence of effort expectancy, the paper provides recommendations for future research.

“…Direct, positive, and indirect network externalities are the three types of network externalities that explain the relationship between utility and the number of buyers. Trust is a critical factor in the acceptance of mobile payment technology, particularly in developing countries [11,12]. Trust refers to the willingness of one party to be vulnerable to the second party and allow it to conduct important actions on its behalf.…”

This research investigates the factors influencing the adoption intentions of electric vehicles (EVs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), focusing on leading countries in EV adoption such as South Africa, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nigeria. An enhanced version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology was developed to assess the key determinants of EV adoption. A total of 865 responses were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling. This paper contributes to the field by showing that facilitating conditions (FC) have a greater impact on EV adoption in SSA compared to other factors typically influencing the adoption of other technologies. The findings further demonstrate that FC can significantly accelerate the widespread adoption of EVs in developing regions. Except for effort expectancy, the results also show that trust, performance expectancy, social influence, and network externalities all positively affect EV adoption. Among these, FC have the strongest effect, increasing influence by 32%. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers to promote EV adoption and support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 3.9 and 7.2.
