Perhaps the most popular online streaming platform for Nollywood paid on-demand movies and series, iRoko TV is one of the first of such platforms to come out of the continent.
The user-friendly mobile app ensures access to over 5000 Nollywood films and soaps at very affordable subscription fee, an easily accessible app and affordable subscription – only 3,000 naira for a year’s subscription.
It was born out of the realization of the popularity of African movies and the inability of mainstream TV to meet the demand, especially in the diaspora.
