Will Nigerians Netflix or Torrent?



World’s leading American multinational internet streaming media company, Netflix hits Nigeria with monthly subscription plans from US$7.99 in a bid to expand and remain the world's number one video on-demand online TV shows and movies provider.

Nigerian's long dream of joining #Netflixandchill conversation on social media while actually watching trending shows and movies Netflix has come true.

Nextlix with service available on Smart TVs, computers, tablets, smartphones, and game consoles is now in Nigeria. But, will Nigerians Netflix and chill or run to some torrent sites to download  trending movies on Netflix after their one month free subscription expires?


Why most Nigerians will run back to Torrent download sites after one month of free Netflixing


Nigerians would love to Netflix, but online streaming cost a lot of data and as the case would be for most of the internet service providers in Nigeria, you have to be in some privileged location to be able to enjoy strong internet connection that can power live streaming.

With trending series like Making of a Murderer, House of Cards, and one month free for Nigerians, Netflix is sure to get lots of Nigerian subscribers in its first month of coming to Nigeria. But, the big question is how many Nigerians will return after their free subscription has expired?

To many Nigerians, streaming movies on Netflix would not make any economic sense, when they can download even movies that are exclusive to Netflix from torrent sites few hours after they are released on Netflix.

For Netflix to own the Nigerian VOD market they have to add more Nigerian movies to their bouquet and partner with internet service providers in Nigeria to offer special affordable data bundles that would provide fast and reliable connections across the country.
