Kemi Adetiba’s highly anticipated King of Boys; “The Return Of The King” was released earlier this week and is available on Netflix. The 7 part sequel comes at a perfect time as last month, Netflix unveiled its affordable mobile plan to make all its titles available to everyone in Nigeria and South Africa for as low as N1200/$3 a month.

With the Mobile plan, it’s safe to suggest that the platform will see an increase in member subscription and it would be a buzz kill if after subscribing you’re unable to watch your favorite titles with ease or take full advantage of Netflix exciting mobile features or movie lists, and recently, media caught wind that Netflix would be going into gaming!

So, to help transform you into an expert Netflix member in no time, follow this guide.
