There’s a new Nollywood pop-up channel on DStv, for you Nollywood lovers

Till date, the best pop-up channel experience I’ve had as a DStv subscriber is the one dedicated to Marvel movies. As someone who watches a lot of television, I find pop-up channels very consuming and bingeable, as long as it’s serving what I want.
