edimulo is an African streaming service. It brings Nollywood films, Ghanaian and Kenyan cinema, South African drama, North African epics and Francophone African titles into one place, alongside documentaries, kids' shows, stand-up and 12 free live channels.
Nollywood, and everything around it
Nigeria produces more films a year than almost anywhere on earth, and Nollywood is the heart of the catalogue — Lagos crime drama, Yoruba historical epics, Warri comedy, Igbo folk horror. But Nollywood is not the whole story. edimulo also carries work from Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Morocco, Rwanda, the DRC and more — 21 countries, subtitled rather than dubbed over.
Priced for the people watching it
Streaming in Africa is often priced as though everyone earns in dollars. edimulo is billed in naira, cedis, shillings and rand, and every paid tier is set at least 10% below the cheapest comparable plan from the major services in that market. There is also a free, ad-supported tier that needs no card at all. See the plans.

Questions
Is there really a free plan?
Yes. The free tier gives you all 12 live channels and a rotating selection of films and series, supported by ad breaks. No card, no commitment. Paid plans remove the ads and open the full catalogue.
How do your prices compare to Netflix and Showmax?
Every paid tier is set at least 10% below the cheapest comparable plan from the major services in that market. The exact figures, and the date we checked them, are on the pricing page.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes. There is no contract and no cancellation fee. Cancelling stops the next payment and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Will it work on my data plan?
Playback quality adapts to your connection, and you can cap it per profile. Paid plans let you download over Wi-Fi and watch offline.
Is it safe for children?
Create a Kids profile and the whole service filters to titles rated for children — including the live channels. Every title carries a maturity rating.
