Wi-Flix to release 20 Original Titles by end of 2022, launches new campaign in Ghana
Wi-Flix, Africa’s fastest-growing entertainment streaming platform has announced that it plans to release 20 Titles of Wi-Flix Originals by end of 2022.
Wi-Flix is a leading Africa-based live streaming and subscriber video on demand provider offering authentic, originally African, and international content to subscribers in Africa and the diaspora.
In addition, the streaming platform aims to expand into other African markets including but not limited to Tanzania, Ethiopia and Mauritius by the end of 2022.
Speaking at the ceremony, Wi-Flix Co-founder & Chief Commercial Officer, Mr Louis Manu said that among its key milestones after the colourful outdooring was to help the young filmmakers on its platform generate an average of 1,000 USD monthly revenue on Wi-Flix by the end of 2022.
“Wi-Flix was birthed with the sole aim of ensuring that African stories are distributed widely across the continent and beyond and our ambition is to have at least two million customers by the end of 2022 on Wi-Flix enjoying the great content that African filmmakers develop,” he said.
According to Mr. Manu, this would, in turn, translate into the creation of about 15,000 decent jobs by end of 2022 to boost youth employment.
Congratulating Wi-Flix on its launch, Mr. Samuel Ofori-Gyampoh, Jospong ICT Group Chief Operation Officer said that the outdooring of Wi-Flix would increase the diversity and volume of exciting African entertainment content available to its subscribers.
“The Jospong Group is fully behind Wi-Flix and its journey to democratise content delivery and it will lend all the support and investments needed to grow in this space because as it grows, our content developers will also grow and the industry at large”, Mr. Ofori-Gyampoh said.
Wi-Flix offers premium content at an affordable price point and currently has over 30,000 hours of content which comprise Exclusive Movies, Series, and Kids Content.
Wi-Flix recently signed a Partnership Agreement with Ignite Media Group operators of Metro TV, Original TV and Original FM to co-create viewing content for the Wi-Flix platform and a technology firm Nerasol which will integrate an additional payment solution for Wi-Flix services and promote it on its available digital channels.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
