From a Nigerian's perspective

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2016)

It was a great movie! But am Nigerian and I live in Lagos. The first setting of the of the movie was Lagos, Nigeria and that didn't look like Lagos, Nigeria. The buildings the people, the roads, in fact that's not how Nigerians would act if they saw Anthony Mackie as "The Falcon" or Captain America himself. Trust me we would run, no one would be outside! And the way it was pronounced in the news wasn't correct its more "lay-gus". There's no place called "T'Chaka" or "Wakanda" and we have kings but they are very traditional so they don't do politics that often. We run a democratic system of Government in Nigeria, we have a President and Governors and even Local Government Chairmen. If anybody is going to represent Nigeria it's gonna be the President not a King. At the United Nations conference in the movie he said something like "kosi" which should mean "thank you", although we have so many languages in Nigeria and Lagos is like a "united state" or a metropolis everyone comes to do business here, I may not know all the languages but Lagos is known for these five languages namely; English, Yoruba, Hausa , Igbo and Pidgin (our own version of English, its like a not so fluent version of English with modifications. Its common among illiterates but we have all come to understand and use it informally both literate and illiterate alike.) but the language used in the scene seemed like Yoruba if it is then its wrong the right word would have been "Ose" pronounced "Oshay". Okay it's cool that the black panther's character revolves around Nigeria. Despite all that it was still a great movie. Thumbs up!
