What's Streaming in Nigeria — Netflix Top 10 & Nollywood on Demand
Track what Nigerians are watching this week across the major streaming services. Our weekly Netflix Top 10 Nigeria ranking shows the most-watched films and TV series on Netflix's Nigerian region, refreshed every Tuesday with official Netflix data. Both Nollywood productions and international titles compete on the Nigerian chart — and Nollywood typically dominates the top half.
Why Netflix Top 10 Nigeria matters
The Netflix Top 10 is a uniquely honest ranking — it's not what critics liked or what Netflix is promoting, it's actual minutes-viewed by Nigerian subscribers. Nollywood originals like "Anikulapo", "Brotherhood", "King of Boys", and Funke Akindele's productions have all topped the Nigerian chart for weeks at a time. International dramas, Korean content, and reality shows also feature heavily. It's the closest thing we have to a real "what's everyone watching" signal in Nigerian entertainment.
Streaming in Nigeria — the broader picture
Beyond Netflix, Nigerians stream via Prime Video Naija (Amazon's Nigerian region), Showmax (MultiChoice's Africa-focused service), Apple TV+, and IROKO TV. Each platform has different Nollywood deals — Showmax leads on serial Nollywood drama, Prime Video has aggressive Nigerian originals, and Netflix dominates feature films and global access. Combined with continued cinema attendance (see Now Showing), Nigerian audiences are watching more content than ever.
