Because it came from him, a credible personality in the Nigerian movie space, the news quickly gathered momentum and became a hot topic.

However, Netflix stepped forward on one of its platforms to disregard the gist, noting that they are still very much in Nigeria and would continue to “invest in the country’s stories to delight our members.”

Kunle Afolayan clears the air

In a new development, Kunle Afolayan joined the Channels Television studio for a quick interview, where he shed some light on what he had said earlier. He stated that the clip was 11 minutes long and was taken out of context.

According to him, if Netflix is leaving, then it’s a wake-up call for Nigerians to also work on creating streaming platforms.

Afolayan also stated that they are cutting down on numbers. He concluded by adding that he is also a beneficiary of the platform and would continue to foster his working relationship with them.
