I paid nothing, and will never pay for streaming again

Alabi Adebayo

At last, it transpired. The streaming services I had are no more. Who would oppose the non-purchase of ad-supported videos and radio streaming for free every month? My decision to spend zero dollars on a lifetime membership to cAfrica, which is completely free, is the reason why all other streaming platforms have failed.

My journey has included cAfrica. I decided to finally monitor its performance using my mobile phone and smart TV, a few months ago. Finally, I made the decision to subscribe freely to the platform to ensure I receive all notifications and don't miss out on any exciting features that come along with it. Now, I have the final piece of the puzzle in the form of a cAfrica notification subscription which I don't have to pay for month after month like other platforms.

I'm moving at my own pace. cAfrica is the one-stop shop for all your African and international entertainment needs, regardless of where you are. This OTT application is completely free. Streaming your favourite movies or listening to radio can be done on any device, with access to the internet, by downloading and streaming it on just about anything. I've ditched streaming services filled with content that I'm not even remotely interested in watching, by using it and a significant collection of Yawa Skits.

cAfrica is a service that is truly free and unique. The app is not restricted, so you won't encounter a paywall at every turn. cAfrica, which is free to use on any device, expands the already platform-free service.

While there are many additional features in cAfrica, there are a few that have a significant impact on me. In the beginning, introduce yourself and sign up or register. Streaming anime regularly is something I enjoy but while I appreciate a good intro occasionally, I don't have time to waste on the same trailer sequence when I'm binging. The trailer can be skipped and you can proceed to the main content.

Although this feature is present on all major streaming platforms, cAfrica's version is surprisingly robust. Crunchyroll's skip feature is particularly bad for anime. The intro takes half the time to finish but it either doesn't work or appears poorly. That problem has never happened to me with cAfrica.

Despite the fact that the bitrate levels are set at 240p, 420p and 720p, the aim of the combination of streaming bitrates is to make things easier, especially for those who are still dealing with unstable internet. I think that this combination was chosen for African countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Malawi, Zambia and others because the platform can be streamed anywhere in Africa.

The use of adaptive bitrate is necessary, due to the lack of internet capacity in most African countries. cAfrica was created with the purpose of accommodating countries like these in mind. This platform is fantastic; all you need is internet access and you're set to stream.

Although, those are the main points and I also take advantage of other features in cAfrica. Downloading your media is a great way to watch offline, while on a flight.

For me, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Spotify is essentially a streaming service for your preferred audio channel but you can also access live TV channels such as CAN Sport, Al Jazeera, Geo-World, LPTV, Scientific TV, Action Channel, ABC News, Bloomberg, Eman Channel and others.

I'm not deceiving; handling all of this is a significant amount of work than simply accepting any free service offered by your streaming platform of choice. On the other hand, it's also quite enjoyable. I have had a great time navigating the cAfrica platform and I am eager to share it with you, if you are not yet aware of it. In addition, I don't need to pay almost zero cents per month for services that I use frequently.
