irokotv

irokotv is a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service focused on Nigerian movies, often referred to as Nollywood films. Founded in 2010 by Jason Njoku and Bastian Gotter, irokotv provides access to a large library of Nollywood content and African television series.

The service primarily targets the African diaspora, offering viewers access to movies and television shows that may be otherwise difficult to find outside of Africa. irokotv is available on a variety of platforms including web browsers, mobile apps (iOS and Android), and connected TV devices.

irokotv utilizes a freemium model, offering some content for free with advertisements, while a paid subscription unlocks access to the full library of content and removes advertisements. The company has faced challenges related to piracy and content licensing within the Nollywood film industry. Despite these challenges, irokotv has been a significant player in the distribution and promotion of Nollywood films globally, contributing to the industry's growth and international recognition. The company is headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, and has offices in other locations.
