Tunde’s Insight Column

Whether it’s the effect of Netflix price cuts on local producers, the rise of YouTube creators disrupting TV viewership, or government policies on film funding, the column provides a balanced, data-driven perspective.

Why Content Nigeria Matters
Nigeria’s media market is one of the most dynamic in the world. Nollywood produces more than 2,500 films per year, yet only a fraction of them reach international distribution. Streaming platforms such as Netflix, Showmax, and Prime Video are rapidly commissioning African originals, creating opportunities and challenges for local talent.
Content Nigeria brings clarity to this complexity. By centralizing data, interviews, and analysis, we make it easier for decision-makers to understand where the industry is heading.
