How this internet business makes millions by bringing African movies to the world

Iroko TV has been aptly been described as the ‘Netflix of Africa’.
Iroko’s co-founder, Jason Njoku, got to realize how popular African movies had become while living in faraway London. Despite the growing worldwide demand for these movies, he could hardly find them on the internet.
His decision to jump on a plane to Nigeria and negotiate distribution deals with local movie producers has earned him a place in history and a lot of dollars in the bag. Today, his IrokoTV platform has more than 5,000 movies online and attracts more than 10 million views every month.
Our estimates put IrokoTV’s monthly revenues at over $350,000.
How did this unassuming guy pull this off?
Let’s find out…

Africa’s movie industry is taking the world by storm…

Africa’s movie industry is actually really huge. From its heartland in Nollywood (the nickname for Nigeria’s movie industry), over 2,000 movies are released every year.

Compared to Hollywood (USA) and Bollywood (India), Nollywood is the second largest movie industry in the world, in terms of volume of movies released per year.

Unfortunately, Nollywood makes the least money of all three global heavyweights.

Before Jason and his Iroko TV platform, Africa’s movie industry, popularly known as Nollywood, was unstructured, had a poor distribution network and was overrun by content pirates.

Despite a global demand for these movies, they were only available on physical Compact Discs (CDs) which severely limited their reach and viewing quality.

For decades, we all thought only Africans had a thirst and appetite for Nollywood movies. How wrong we were!

In fact, the largest chunk of traffic to Iroko’s platform comes from the USA, UK, India, the Caribbean and ‘down under’ Australia!

According to Jason,

“Nollywood is the world’s second largest movie industry in terms of output, making roughly 40 films per week, at an average cost of $40,000 per project. It is a global, cultural phenomenon, adored by millions in Nigeria, in Africa and across the Diaspora. It serves an audience thirsty for love, drama, intrigue, comedy, redemption, action and more.

The end product is unique: African stories, by African people, for Africans. And boy, do we have a lot of stories to tell…”

How Iroko TV got started…

In 2011, using YouTube, Google’s free video sharing platform, Jason launched NollywoodLove, the first major internet channel to offer full-length Nollywood movies.

In less than a year, the channel attracted more than one million views from over 200 countries around the world. With just a simple idea, a few hundred dollars, and a free internet platform, this young and near-broke Nigerian put original African content on the global map.

Since no one had seriously considered and taken on the internet as a reasonable channel for distribution, it was relatively easy and cheap for Jason to acquire online license rights from producers and marketers to distribute these popular movies.

He actually started with a couple of full-length movies which did very well and paid off handsomely. Knowing he was on to something really big, he bought more movie rights and gradually built an impressive catalogue of in-demand Nollywood movies.

Following this spectacular success with NollywoodLove, Jason attracted nearly $10 million from Tiger Global Management, a New York-based private equity firm which shared his vision for digitization of African content.

With this strong backing, IrokoTV was launched as a standalone and independent African movie-streaming website and attracted more than half a million views in only three months!

In July 2012, the business got an additional investment of $2m under a Swedish hedge fund-backed arrangement.

Within two short years, Jason got the attention of the international press and has been featured onForbes, CNN, CNBC, BET and Techcrunch.

Here’s a short interview with Jason Njoku on one of several TV shows he’s been featured on…

In 2012, Jason Njoku was voted by Black Enterprise Magazine as one of London’s top black men of power and has gone ahead to launch several other platforms including iRoking.com, a platform focused on providing African music to the world via the internet.

His company now has offices in Lagos, Johannesburg, London and New York.

In May 2013, Jason Njoku and Sabastian Gotter, both co-founders of Iroko TV, founded SPARK, a one million dollar angel investment outfit based in Lagos (Nigeria) and dedicated to funding and helping young tech and internet startups.The firm has already provided seed capital (between $30 – 75K) to fifteen startup companies. The companies in its portfolio include online fashion and drug stores, an online social-based borrowing service and a photo stock website.

Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill Split After 2 Year On-Off Romance

Nicki [Minaj] and Meek [Mill] are not on the same page,” an insider reveal to some media “Meek still wants to go to the hood, hang out with his boys and ride bikes. Nicki’s into refined things, like museums and fashion shows. They both have similar pasts, so they hit it off. But Nicki is no longer in a ‘hood mentality’ and Meek is. One day he’ll grow up and maybe they’ll get back together.” And, sadly for Meek, 29, apparently the decision to split was not a mutual one. “Nicki wanted to leave, Meek wants her back,” the source said. But will the 33-year-old “Anaconda” singer consider taking him back? Maybe not after the stunt he pulled last month.

August 11, 2016: RJN  insider  learned that Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj are OFFICIALLY OVER. The two have been ON AND OFF for almost two years, but now the break is official.

We confirmed the break up with a person inside Nicki’s INNER CIRCLE. And the insider explained what happened with the couple.

The insider explained, “Nicki and Meek are not on the same page. Meek still wants to go to the hood, hang out with his boys and ride bikes. Nicki’s into refined things, like museums and fashion shows.”

The insider continued, “They both have similar pasts, so they hit it off. But Nicki is no longer in a ‘hood mentality’ and Meek is. One day he’ll grow up and maybe they’ll get back together.”

We asked whether the decision for the couple to break up was mutual – but it wasn’t. The RJN insider tells us, “Nicki wanted to leave, Meek wants her back.”

The confidante added:

"They both have similar pasts, so they hit it off. But Nicki is no longer in a ‘hood mentality' and Meek is. One day he'll grow up and maybe they'll get back together."

Hmm… considering M.M. can barely handle his legal affairs, we're not hopeful for any personal growth at this point. 1

As for who broke up with who, insiders confirm it was Minaj who initiated their split. The source also alleges Meek "wants her back".

So, do YOU think these two will reconcile?

ANOTHER CAMEROON RISING MOVIE DIVA TO WATCH OUT FOR, ONYAMA LAURA

"she is  Blessed to come from two of the greatest regions of Cameroon, the Southwest Region (Basossi) and the Northwest Region(Oshie).Had a very happy childhood with much love from my mum(Onyama Judith), my two siblings, aunts,cousins,uncles,grandparents and of course friends and neighbours. Did  my nursery, primary as well as secondary education in the legendary city of Buea , But I later moved to the capital city Yaoundé where I attend High school( EHS Yaoundé). I moved back to Buea in 2009 for my university Education where I obtained a bachelor degree in Linguistics with a minor in political science and public administration from the University of Buea in 2012.I joint the movie industry in 2009, made my first appearance in a movie set in 2011 the short movie "heavy rain" by New age Entertainment. I got a job with Orange Cameroun immediately after graduation. So I decided to take a break from acting because of my busy work schedule.I missed acting a lot ,so in 2015, I decided to quit my job to concentrate on it.I joint the National Actors Guild of Cameroon (NAGCAM)in 2014 and in September 2015, I was elected President of NAGCAM limbe chapter, making me the first and only female chapter president of NAGCAM.So far, I have featured in a few movies like: "Alma", "Kum a bread", "nkene-nkene", "Rumble", "Kiss of Death" .Apart from being an actress, I am a student makeup artist.Acting is my passion and I feel so alive when the camera is rolling.my happiest moment is when am on set. I cannot conclude without thanking these people who are my role models and who keep my acting career going:Chando  Daniel, Anurine Nwuenembum, Ala Leo, Edith Pikwa, Musing Derick, Billy Bob Ndive lifongo,Agbor Obed Agbor,Eka Christa ,Nkwah Kingsley."

 

Onyama Laura might not have been a household name in Cameroon until Saturday, July 23, 2016. But this gentlest actress had considered staying focused on the art she knows best, leaving the rest to providence, since joining the movies in 2011. Little did she know that a December 2015 filming trip to the North West region would be the beginning of a recognition phase of her true-to-the-heart movie career. She had travelled there to film "KISS OF DEATH", which would later become her gateway to career glory

Onyama bagged home as Best Cameroonian Actress award at the 2016 Ecrans Noirs film festival that rounded off in Yaounde over the weekend. You literally would not hear or see her much even when she works in an industry whose leading characteristic is exposure. This is because humility, in-depth in her, has consumed a huge chunk of the actress' life. 

sparks of a living legend in cameroon film industry

It has been a blossom year for Cameroon home made films , as the industry keep growing from grace to grace , the are certain outstanding acting qualities that my blog will always acknowledge.

just like in the holy woods and  the nollywoods you find certian movie personalities that when you search for a boss type of roles you will always run to them for that role because they bring in the charisma of the role and makes it unique for the audience to have a feel of the movie. 

The cameroons movie industry has come a long way and it has face its own challenges just like any other movie industry around the world .The fact there is lot of hard work been put in these days in cameroon film making to take it to higher level

if i was to grade and catigorize actors  who has the qualities and providence when you watch them on screen i will definitely nail a 5 star rating  for A  list cameroon homme magnifique et polyvalant du ecran camerouness

adding fun, punch, variety, time, class, reality and authenticity to the Cameroon film industry

When we watch an actor like him on films, we like how he play his role  , oh what a great vocal texture he has, we feel his charisma, or his  electric chemistry with his  acting passion and interest, we feel his authenticity, we sense the  naturalness, we get where he's coming from, or why he did that.  Best of all, we believe the truthfulness of the situation and the characters.  These are some of the descriptive words audience members use to relate their experience. 

  Most people don't know this.  Typically, when they meet an actor, they ask:  so what have you been in that I have seen?  Actors are associated with exhibitionism, , physical attractiveness, media exposure, or ability to deliver funny lines.  These are all part and parcel of the acting world, yes.  But this is not where most passionate, solid, here-to-stay artists reside.but with screen genius like votias Otia  you can easily relate with him when he is in movies 

As one of the gemstone of cameroons movie industry and still holding the current leadership of the CFI.  he is a house whole name in cameroon and outside the shores of cameroon.

When it comes to acting,  Mister  Otia Vitalis  is a natural phenomenal element  So, having a look at  him in  the present Bad Angel series  it  can give you a wonderful idea on how to embark upon training yourself for acting. You would need a lot of training in order to understand about acting, and you’ll be able to get a lot of help if you follow these our iconic legend in cameroon movie industry.
