I Smell Pennies for posting the most popular deal last month, Netflix Monthly: Basic ₦2,900, Standard ₦3,600, Premium ₦4,400 @ Netflix Nigeria. Unfortunately with Netflix tightening up on transactions through VPN, those deals are also drying up and lots of existing accounts got terminated (Turkey, Kenya, etc).
