70% of the populace suffering ke?? You no talk 90-95% being fvvked. The extra 5% is for those that can relatively adapt and manoeuvre easily.
These periods, I feel people in the entertainment spectrum are going to suffer the economic crunch, subscription VOD especially.



Damn, so Netflix has 200k subs in naija? It looks even very large to me bruh. Yeah, I hear majority of the subs come from SA alone, then Egypt and a couple North Africans. Which source put our subs at that? It's impressive for me cos I feel Netflix being popular here na audio for social media or Twitter.



I sometimes wonder if they even make money in Nigerian market with their low sub prices in comparison to the spending spree they've been on for the past 5 yrs.
Netflix being a very data analytics oriented streaming company would never invest in a project they deemed no potential net positive or leverage.

Like you said, our content would mostly be appealing to people across the globe and most definitely our fellow diasporans abroad who want a feel of home. We have a large Diasporan community in that regard. And for some weird reason Nigerian entertainment popularity is growing globally.
I always used to think its only our Afrobeats that portray Nigeria in good light and global recognition but lately I've been seeing many Africans growing up or fully entrenched in Nollywood on social media. We dey always yab our country people but it seems the African continent sees us in high regard and superiority in that aspect.

Netflix is very data driven, so they must have a solid reason backed by hard facts which they see potential in Nigerian local investment. Even investing or marketing less than their main market in SA. A major reason I feel investing in Nigeria is sensible is that Nigeria remains the de facto Hub and King of African filmmaking. Our production rates even rival Hollywood and Bollywood. When anyone think of the African filmmaking industry, Nollywood is the face of the continent.
The industry is still in early stages of reliable and advanced distribution market. So Netflix has a lot to gain in aiding that evolution.



Also, Netflix having a reputation for loss making to gain market foothold lends credence to their continued support. Most likely in hopes that when the market fully begins to develop and mature, they'll be rightly well positioned to reap the bounty. 200mn-strong populace ain't no joke. No matter how anyone looks at it. They have a growth mindset.
We have an army of 160mn mobile internet subscribers. If Netflix can capture just 10% of that subscriber base in the future, they're swimming in money. In fact, 1% of that number is 1.6mn strong subscribers. So our numbers is significant which SA can't replicate.
They understand the pioneer advantage; which Netflix holds to most of its present day success to cos they were the first in the streaming industry.

Subscription growth has been drying up in North America and lately Europe due to increased competition. So they're looking for alternative potential growth markets for the next era. So Africa is a big market being that it has limited to no competition in streaming. Ripe market for the plucking.


Other streamers ain't looking at the continent as a significant market and Netflix is showing its foresight once again in betting first in Africa. When the region starts seeing the huge push from cable to streaming which will come inevitably cos everyone is fed up of DSTV and cable in general, then their investments starts to pay off exponentially.

I always used to say DStv would suffer when Netflix and the rest looks our way. But it seems the company foresaw this and quickly adapted with SHOWMAX and funny enough its the top streaming service in Africa with NETFLIX being a close second.
This highlights the need for understanding the local market and establishing yourself first.

By the time other streamers has exhausted all growth frontiers and has no where to run to than the fledgling potential huge market in the African space, Netflix and Showmax would have entrenched themselves to the roots of the industry ans well positioned to fight off any competitor.

DSTV primary market is South Africa, yet they can't do without the profitability that Nigeria gives them. Netflix would be looking at this. The numbers far favours us. And the streaming business is good-or-bad a numbers game.

The only thing hindering or key to unlocking this huge market is access to cheap internet and reliable connectivity. Especially once unlimited data takes hold in Nigeria, mehn, streaming services are swimming in money. That's if they can stay in business when that time arrives.

OkaY You got me. I saw all the Steven King novels and voila, I saw Alex Ferguson. In my mind I was like, Steven King wrote a novel about Alex Ferguson. Lol.

Kaycee7:
Remember folks, when they don't like your favorite movie, it's because you overhype nonsense.
But when you don't like their favourite movie, it's because you're lying and believe nonsense.

They must always be right no matter what

Hell boy the crooked man is a solid 5/10 for me.

Not bad at all, even as a fan of horror shows and movies, it's enjoyable though the dialogues, storylines, plots seems caricature but all the same, if you are just looking for fun and nothing extraordinary, then this is the movie to watch.
The octagonist post no visible threat to hell boy at all, that's unlike the previous hell boy films we have watched in the past.

But all the same, you are going to enjoy it but don't get your hopes up.

What's Nolan cooking??

WB execs will be swearing for Jason Kilar wherever he is presently for ultimately fumbling the bag and losing your most priced director to a rival studio. The biggest director of this generation given on a platter of gold to Universal.

Caviltron!!

That's why I trust Hollywood adapting a Nigerian fictional story? They'd put more effort telling the story more than our incompetent movie producers

iamL:


Even the actors are not ashamed of themselves. If a producer is not getting it right the actors can set him straight and if he chooses to go ahead and make a ridiculous movie you walk out of the movie. But we know Nigeria stars are after been paid not reputation.


That's why I support Hollywood in adapting our African stories as long as our African value and cultures are not replaced.
