A Twitter user, Aphiz (@_aphiz), has shared a three-step guide for viewers in the UK, Canada, and the USA to access the Nigerian films Seven Doors and Lisabi on Netflix. The workaround involves using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to bypass regional restrictions and access Netflix’s South African library.
The steps outlined by Aphiz include:
1. Using a reliable VPN, such as NordVPN.
2. Connecting to the South African region via the VPN.
3. Searching for Seven Doors or Lisabi on Netflix to start streaming.
This guide has sparked conversations about geo-blocking and access to African films globally. While VPNs are legal, Netflix’s terms discourage their use to bypass regional restrictions. However, many diaspora viewers have praised the workaround, citing frustration over limited availability of African content outside the continent.
The growing demand for African stories in the diaspora has prompted calls for streaming platforms like Netflix to expand their libraries and make African films accessible worldwide. For now, VPNs remain a popular solution for viewers eager to connect with authentic African cinema.
