UK-born Jason Njoku realized that while the West had several streaming websites such as Netflix and Hulu, Africa did not have any. This was surprising to him. Despite Nollywood being the world\u2019s second largest film industry, the industry was missing an online distribution model. He decided to fix this. He secured partnerships with Nigerian producers and secured the rights to thousands of titles. iROKOtv expanded rapidly &#8211; the company employs more than 100 people who are based in Nigeria, in the UK, and in the US and they received over 300 million views last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/gallerypage]<\/p>\n<p>[gallerypage]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2.
