It was Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, whose comments about Netflix’s sudden unenthusiasm in an ongoing production, that sparked the rumors that Netflix has left Nigeria.
Netflix arrived Nigeria in 2016 when it co-produced Geneviève Nnaji’s “Lionheart”, and then later it’s first movie Aníkúlápó and Aníkúlápó series by Afolayan.
Since then it has gone ahead to produce several other movies including; Blood Sisters, Shanty Town, King of Boys, Far from Home, Jagun Jagun, Oloture the Journey, Blood Vessel and Ijogbon.
