Afrinolly

Forbes - Last month, during Google‘s Kenya conference (called G-Kenya), the Internet search giant announced the winners of its 1st  Android Developers Challenge for Sub-Saharan Africa. Afrinolly, a Nigerian-developed App, was the winner of the Entertainment/Games/Media category. The award came with a $25,000 cash prize.

Developed by Nigerian digital marketing agency Fans Connect Online, Afrinolly is a mobile application that allows users to stream African entertainment bundles. Users can access African movie trailers, music videos, online comedy, celebrity gist and gossip, the latest entertainment news and other content. The app also has a Blackberry version and can be downloaded for free at www.afrinolly.com or in the Android Market.
