Gsm is a necessity. Netflix is a luxury. That's the difference.

Now Mr, how much is the minimum wage in Nigeria? How many people live below the poverty line? Now how much does it cost to subscribe to unlimited WiFi or data plan monthly that will enable one stream videos endlessly? N20k? N30k? N40k?

Do you know that the cost of subscription for unlimited data plan in Nigeria could amount to thousands of $$ in a year as opposed to about $10 monthly or less in many countries?

Im not saying that NetFlix can't work in Nigeria. I'm saying that until we fix our internet problems then it can never get close to being 30% effective.

Anything you say missy

Slikbae:
Poverty will not make Netflix work in Nigeria. Oh and backwardness too... Which country doesn't have WiFi in this 21st century??

That's what people said when GSM was first introduced. But now even Okada riders & pepper sellers use smartphones. Show me a country that's got no pauper.

Learn to look the glass as half full

Over sense they worry you... Enlightenment is what Nigerians need thanks for that

Yes o my broda, this country really needs to be enlightened coz this "Nigerian mentality" syndrome is actually what's keeping us backwards.

I bet all these guys looking for excuses why Netflix will fail saying weak bandwidth, alaba bootleg, torrents bla bla bla are the kinda people that predicted the failure of GSM technology, ATM usage etc when they were introduced.

Very much available

I beg to differ:

1. Firstly the rate of internet penetration in the country is unprecedented. True data signals are not wide spread around the country but the amount of upwardly mobile & tech savvy individuals is growing by the day.

2. Let's not forget that data cost is diminishing as the days go by. Don't be surprised if Netflix strikes a deal with network providers in the near future.

3. Saying Iroko tv & DSTV have no need to fear is laughable. I think Iroko is not even a hit because they limited their content to only locally produced movies & shows which most viewers like myself find mediocre (no offence to nollywood, but they need to up their game.) While DSTV thrives on entertainment contents & sports, both of which Netflix got covered.
It might interest you to know that Netflix won't make the mistake of Iroko tv by streamlining their content source therefore don't be surprised they start striking deals with nollywood producers.

4. You talk about piracy & cheap, poor picture quality dvds. That sector is flourishing only because most guys don't see the original, high definition/4k quality of those movies & shows readily available especially when it's released globally. Now tell me, why should I buy a game of thrones season 6 (when it does release) bootleg DVD when I can actually stream same quality & at the same time of official release globally. Your guess is as good as mine.

5. Yes you can't use your naira ATM cards outside the country but that doesn't mean they're totally useless and can't be used for online shopping, even on foreign sites. The banks basically restricted the maximum amounts to be spent on online stores to between 100 to 1500 dollars, depending on your bank.

6. Lastly, smart tv's ain't so big a deal like 2/3 years ago. You can order for a smart tv as low as 50k on jumia or konga. Alternatively peeps are getting cheap Android tv boxes to attach to their flat screen tv's which automatically gives it smart functions.

I think it's a welcome development & it's going to encourage healthy competition or aren't you tired of DSTV monopolistic arrogance? Nigeria needs to develop in all ramifications and these are part of the signs.
I only hope that the government can leverage on this.

Zenith bank (Obio Apkor, UBE) finally did the needful this morning, we thank God almighty

P.S it's a double sum & am not in the UBE 1st arrears group, so does that mean that the governor paid the proverbial 13th month salary?
