So you are probably thinking " why is Netflix not available to Nigerians"? Well, I got disappointed after subscribing to Netflix. They are majorly old movies with half series. For instance, Netflix has up to season 3 of " The blacklist" meanwhile the 4 ended a long time ago.
The majority of the movies you find there are the ones owned by the company and one of them is Okja ( it's a new movie). Aside that, please forget it. It's totally not worth your 10 naira.

Wrong. Netflix detects when you are using a VPN so it doesn't work.

Not sure If they can pay for real time shows. And what do you mean by Nigerian content? I want real action not movies in Jamaica or sun City.

By Nigeria content I meant Bollywood, EPL and Champion leagues. Tv does not revolve around this contents but it seems to be all they think we need in this country. Kwese have entrepreneurship programs that are top notch, programs like Shark Tank and The Profit. Those in diaspora will know it. They also show other sports like formula 1, WWE and basket ball.

Lobbying which government? Please. What speaks is money, most of those licences are quite expensive and it is assumed that we won't agree to pay for such contents.
Do you know that most satellite TVs in Nigeria do not have licence to show CNN? they show it through the back door. Is not because they are denied but because the its expensive.

Kwese have an exclusive deal with ROKU TV in Africa and you know Roku TV shows almost every TV contents in the world.

Kwese is the best thing yet to happen to Africans in Africa in terms of TV contents.

Anyway, just brace yourself for change have come in paytv as we know it. Google Kwese TV for more details.
