In an event set to reignite and elevate the role of African storytellers in shaping the global narrative on authentic African stories, Nifty Works Plus Limited has officially launched its new platform, NW Plus TV.
The event was held at Unseen Nairobi, located in the cosmopolitan neighborhood of Hurlingham, within the Kenyan City.
Nairobi which is a hub of the East African tourism industry and commercial capital of Kenya, has been attracting a diverse crowd, that transforms the urban precinct into the perfect backdrop for cultural aesthetes and enthusiasts.
Thobile Dlamini, the Customer Acquisition Specialist for NW Plus TV, writes that the audience had gathered for the unveiling of a bold new chapter in African entertainment.
“It comes as an African-centric streaming platform focused on authenticity, family values, and faith-driven content!”
NW Plus TV, a video-on-demand platform, promises to be a hub for those seeking to reconnect with Africa’s rich storytelling and cultural heritage.
Offering a curated catalogue that spans documentaries, movies, podcasts, and children’s programming, NW Plus TV delivers gripping entertainment through locally rooted content.
Viewers can enjoy standout titles like ‘Ndemwa’, a children’s show that bridges generational gaps with educational value, and ‘Moments with Nderru’, a motivational podcast designed for faith-driven audiences aspiring to reach their highest potential.
There are also the cinematic features like ‘Bedroom Chains’, a Ugandan feature film set in 1980, where the protagonist, Natalia, returns from exile only to confront the brutal treatment of women, stirring painful memories of her past.
The streaming service aims to make a significant impact not only in the Kenyan media landscape but across the continent and its diaspora – in 2025 and beyond.
Nifty Works Plus Limited, the creative powerhouse behind NW Plus TV, is an award-winning creative agency with a decade-long legacy of shaping the visual storytelling of Africa.
Their evolution into NW Plus TV was a natural next step, a “petri dish” to nurture and spotlight Africa’s burgeoning film industry and local talent.
One of the founders Muthoni Waigwa reflects, that sharing that their journey into entrepreneurship was inspired by their enterprising, pioneering mother and that reaching a decade in business called for a new challenge, resulting in the birth of NW Plus TV.
Attendees at the premiere of NW Plus TV were treated to exclusive content screenings, interactions and intimate sessions with the creators, and the shared excitement of a new movement dedicated to storytelling, community, and creativity.
Esther Neema, who was amongst those who attended expressed, “NW Plus TV really presents a great opportunity for us creatives to actually earn, and an opportunity to compete with even more advanced films from the west.
This is what we have been waiting for as Africans to grow our industries and fill the earth with content straight out of Africa.”
The event made it clear that NW Plus TV is committed to promoting and preserving Africa’s rich cultural heritage and visual storytelling traditions.
Co-founder Nyatetu Kiragu emphasized, “We are sharing stories from a different lens, building a community of creatives from across the continent – all united by the cause to reclaim the African narrative that has often been lost in translation.”
With NW Plus TV, the future of African storytelling looks bold, stimulating and unshakably authentic.
