In a move to discourage porting away from its network and retain its teeming youthful customers, Airtel Nigeria has introduced a movie rental service targeted at the youth population, who has migrated most activities online, and is held to be Africa’s strongest defence against the devastating coronavirus(COVID-19) pandemic.
The Africa COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index (CCVI ), a new index designed to fill a critical information gap and help African governments, health officials, non-governmental organizations, and others respond to the coronavirus pandemic, has found that although Africa has not yet been overwhelmed by COVID-19, several regions are showing troubling signs of vulnerability to the social, economic, and health impacts of an outbreak that should not be ignored.
The Africa COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index (CCVI), developed by Surgo Foundation, was modeled after Surgo’s US COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index, which is featured as a resource by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is the first Pan-African index to assess vulnerability to COVID-19 not just across, but within countries.
For N300(US$0.77), rent the newest movies and shows before they hit DVD or streaming video platforms (Amazon Prime, Netflix, Iroko, etc)
Any movie customers rent on Airtel TV can be watched multiple times over 3 days (72 hours) as long as the customer is connected to the Airtel Nigeria network. Customers have the opportunity of watching videos instantly on their Android phone, tablet or iPhone and and if they do not want to watch right away, they have the next 30 days before the offer expires.
