Netflix is next. Paid streaming services including Amazon prime, Netflix and the rest are running at a loss in Africa. The cinema and paid streaming are not viable In Nigeria and Africa. If you remove their foreign content/ their foreign audience in Nigeria, cinema and Netflix will collapse, including those so called nollywood movie grossing heaven on earth. Funny enough, those Netflix/cinema movies that eventually find their way on YouTube rate far below the main nollywood movies in terms of views. The main nollywood in Asaba is viable because they somehow managed to adjust the standards for grassroots affordability across Africa. Viable distribution channels remain YouTube, paytv and dvd. Only the Nollywood Asaba/Enugu axis and skitmakers understand this, hence their profits. 32 Likes 3 Shares |

Africa don't have original content. Just trying to redo what Europe already has. It's boring for any top tear European cooperation looking for alternative inspiration. It's like looking at itself in the mirror only a raggedy much uglier version. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

I knew it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All the hype around the substandard trash our producers were making was all propaganda. I knew they weren't getting good stream numbers. Why on earth will I use my hard earned Prime subscription to watch home videos ? All those She must be obeyed and tribe of judah nonsense are things I only watch from free of I ever want to watch such nonsense . I download them and watch free only 13 Likes 1 Share |
