Air travel is connecting Africa
The African Airlines Association (AFRAA) is a Trade Organisation open to membership of airlines of African States.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the global trade association of airlines.
RELATED: Former African Airlines Association (AFRAA) Managing Director, Dr Chingosho is optimistic about the future of African aviation which he says is promising given the growing African economies, a growing population, increasing urbanization, a growing middle-class, and young, technology savvy workers.

RELATED: Last year Ethiopian Airways, Kenya Airways and South African Airways, three top airlines on the continent, sold two-thirds of the estimated 9.2 million seats purchased for travel within sub-Saharan Africa. The remaining one-third was spread among more than a dozen smaller carriers such as Nigeria-based Arik Air, Air Mauritius, and RwandAir...
Yet while more flights are linking big cities than they did are decade ago, most airlines based in sub-Saharan Africa are losing money due to stiff competition from Gulf, Turkish and European carriers on transcontinental routes...
To make the air travel industry profitable, African countries need to liberalise air traffic, according to IATA and the African Union. As far back as 1999, 44 countries agreed in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire (the Yamoussoukro Decision) to deregulate air services and promote the opening of regional air markets to transnational competition.

Industry sources stated that the restrictions on frequency of flights, capacity, route and ports of entry, and the 5th Freedom Traffic Right had been lifted...
"Nigeria is simply not ready to handle the level of unfair competition that the full implementation of SAATM will bring upon the country...
Industry sources, however, stated that there would be no going back on the open skies agreement. Read more here.

From Cairo to Lagos - still can't do? See maps.
Africa’s international road network has missing links, while administrative and regulatory barriers block existing connections - AfDB (African Development Bank infrastructureafrica.org for details)
The Trans-African Highway still has long gaps
Also:
...only 1 in 3 rural Africans has access to an all-season road; but [roads] critical to raising agricultural productivity.
...in cities, road construction has not kept pace with urbanization...mobility problems caused by too few paved roads and inadequate public transportation systems.
...road freight will continue to be costly and inefficient until competition in the trucking industry is increased and barriers to trade are lifted.
Google Maps shows no gap, and suggests you could make the trip in a few days. Maybe not advisable? Then the more direct route takes you through a couple of war/strife zones.
Rail is worse: in the context of transcontinental travel, let's just say trains are nonexistent. (Or do we just need a new map - this map is old)
You would think Lagos, Cairo, each with about 20million inhabitants, are not so far apart that they should 'feel' so far apart. On my wish-list for 2020... Till then, thank God for air travel. And the internet.

The Uber taxi app is just an app
In Uber: What could possibly go wrong
, Rick Bookstaber claims that the app is "only mildly innovative" and that if existing limo and taxi companies put out a "meta-app" the new company might be in trouble. Other risks for the $18billion start-up include increased regulation, and new technology that will remove the need for drivers altogether.
The use of 'non-Uber' taxi mobile-apps has already taken off in Nigeria.
