Netflix is here in Nigeria and has announced its presence in an online post.
It came as a surprise to most when Nigerians on Twitter saw a post that ended with the caption: “Hello, Nigeria.”
Netflix is an American streaming platform that has its headquarters in Los Gatos, California. It was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Scotts Valley, California.
As at last year, the company had over 148 million paid subscriptions worldwide, including 60 million in the United States.
Since 2012, Netflix has taken an active role in streaming both film and television series. It has more content than any other network of cable channel.
With its presence in Nigeria, the entertainment industry is guaranteed to get a boost. The tweet seen below has a picture of some prominent Nollywood stars including Banky W, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Kunle Afolayan, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, and Omoni Oboli.
