Netflix Struggles In Nigeria With Only About 300k Subscribers – Comedian AY

AY says Netflix struggles in Nigeria with 300k subscribers | fab.ng

Comedian and filmmaker AY Makun has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the alleged decision by Netflix to pause funding for Nigerian original films.

The debate began when filmmaker Kunle Afolayan revealed that Netflix had stopped commissioning Nigerian content. This sparked concerns about the platform’s commitment to the Nigerian market.

During a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, Makun addressed the issue. He clarified that Netflix is not pulling out of Nigeria.

Instead, he explained that the platform is likely reassessing its approach due to ongoing financial challenges. He emphasised that this does not signal a loss of interest in Nigerian content.

“I recently had a meeting with Netflix, and at no point did they say they were leaving this region,” Makun explained. “During that meeting, we discussed my next project and how they could be involved. I don’t believe they’re leaving Nigeria.”

Makun highlighted that Netflix’s challenges in Nigeria are mainly rooted in financial constraints.

“If you’re running a business in a region and you’re spending much more than you’re earning, you’d need to reconsider your approach. That’s what they’re doing,” he stated.

The comedian explained that Netflix has invested heavily in Nigeria, far surpassing the revenue it has generated in the region.

He emphasised that the platform’s struggles stem largely from the low number of subscriptions and the widespread habit of account sharing, forcing Netflix to reconsider its business model.

“For instance, despite Nigeria’s population of over 200 million people, Netflix has only around 300,000 subscriptions, which indicates a problem that needs fixing,” Makun observed.

Furthermore, he elaborated that a significant number of Nigerians access Netflix by using shared accounts instead of purchasing individual subscriptions. This contributes to the platform’s revenue challenges.

“People often share one subscription with several others, and that’s part of the issue. It’s not just about the filmmakers,” Makun concluded.
