Netflix Raises Subscription Fees Again for Nigerian Users
Just three months after a previous price increase, Netflix has raised its subscription fees once again for users in Nigeria. This latest adjustment impacts all subscription tiers, reflecting a notable increase across the board.
Netflix has justified the hike by emphasizing the need to boost revenue and earnings, which will help support the growth and expansion of its content offerings. As a result, Nigerian subscribers will now face higher costs for accessing Netflix’s various plans.
The Premium Plan has seen the most significant rise, with its monthly fee climbing to 7,000 naira marking a 40 percent increase from the earlier rate of 5,000 naira.
The Standard Plan, which is favoured by many Nigerians for its HD quality and multi-screen viewing options, has risen by 37.5 percent, from 4,000 naira to 5,500 naira.
The Basic Plan has also increased, now costing 3,500 naira instead of the previous 2,900 naira, which represents a 21 percent rise. Meanwhile, the Mobile Plan, the least expensive option, has experienced a substantial 83 percent increase, jumping from 1,200 naira to 2,200 nanairas
This new round of price adjustments follows a similar increase in April 2024, highlighting Netflix’s ongoing strategy to enhance its revenue while expanding its content offerings for Nigerian viewers.
Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Minister of Livestock Development, has revealed the government’s intention of placing women in the livestock transformation agenda that they have in store for Nigeria.
During a recent event, he praised women, describing them as the backbone of the country, and shared that the country will keep on needing their support, hence the inclusion of the agenda team.
He also praised the First Lady for the impact she has made in the country so far and her advocacy for women’s empowerment.
Nigerians react as a user claims and shares that the price of rice in Nigeria is already reducing.
“Rice prices are finally dropping, minimum wage can buy a bag now. Step by step, we’re getting there. Nigeria will work in our lifetime.”
It can be noted that rice was sold at ₦85k to ₦90k, however, according to a market survey, the price of rice has dropped to ₦56k to ₦62k.
Nigerians now have a new choice when it comes to making calls and browsing the internet. A new telecom company called LEBARA has launched in the country with a new idea. Instead of the usual airtime system that most networks use, this company is offering something different, subscribers will now buy call minutes and data directly.
What makes this different is that customers will only pay for what they actually use. If you buy 100 minutes, those minutes are yours until you use them up. If you make a call that lasts only 30 seconds, the rest of your time remains, leaving you with 99 minutes and 30 seconds. Nothing is taken away without your knowledge, and every second is accounted for.
The company is rolling out its services with the new 0724 number series, and it already has connections with all the major networks in Nigeria. This means subscribers will be able to call friends, family, and business contacts across MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile and others without any problems. They have also been licensed as a Tier 5 Mobile Virtual Network Operator, which is the highest category approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Company officials explained that the goal is to give Nigerians more freedom, fairness, and transparency. For years, people have raised concerns about airtime being deducted too quickly or without clear explanation. By introducing a minutes-based model, the new operator wants to end that problem once and for all. Subscribers can clearly see what they paid for, how much they have used, and what is left.
