Omoni Oboli and MTN unveil seven Christmas films for YouTube
"With MTN bundles, you can watch a whole film with just a few hundred naira," the filmmaker says.
Lagos — Filmmaker and actor Omoni Oboli has unveiled seven Christmas films, produced under her Omoni Oboli TV channel, in partnership with MTN Nigeria. They were presented at a Christmas Movie Mixer at MTN's rooftop venue in Lagos.
"Serious business"
Oboli said YouTube data bundles make streaming cheaper. "With MTN bundles, you can watch a whole film with just a few hundred naira," she said. She added that every view supports livelihoods: "The more people watch, the more money the creators make, and the more people we can empower. It's not a joke. It's serious business."
Idowu Adesokan, MTN Nigeria's general manager for consumer segments, said the creative industry "has enormous potential to entertain, create jobs, build businesses".
YouTube consultant Barene Jankovich-Besan said Nollywood's stories of love, betrayal and success are finding a global audience, with between 30 and 40 per cent of viewers of some films coming from outside Africa.
