We Need To Talk About ‘lah-gos’ In Captain America: Civil War by redcliff: 6:01pm On May 13, 2016 |
All of us at Zikoko were super excited when we heard we’d be watching Captain America: Civil War as a team. Nothing sweeter than a free movie. As much as we LOVED it, the first 10 minutes set in Lagos, did have us like: What’s happening here? Team Zikoko, every time someone in the movie pronounced it as Lah-gos. What are these ones saying? Lagos, watching the movie like: Who are you calling Lah-gos, biko? Oya, let’s think of some of the ways Lah-gos, Nigeria is completely different from Lagos, Nigeria. When they started off with Black Widow and Scarlet Witch drinking coffee under Lah-gos sun. Abeg abeg! Lagos sun and hell fire that are like: See ehn, Lagos in the afternoon is not where you want anything hot anywhere near you. They now showed us two Lah-gos policemen and neither of them had a potbelly. WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU! Edakun, where was this oga in all this? Well, he was probably still sleeping. Then we saw Falcon looking down at a Lah-gos street in the middle of the day Are we dreaming? …and the roads were actually free. Where is all the traffic? There was actually light in Lah-gos in the afternoon. Which light? PHCN and Lagos that are like: Na so. Fast forward to Black Widow in the middle of a Lah-gos market See all those shops behind her. …and nobody did this: Even when Falcon finally came down to join her A whole Anthony Mackie. …not one Igbo brother shouted “heysss fine boy!” at him. Who will now buy all their jeans trousiz? Then see Lah-gosians that were just standing around watching people with guns and bombs fight. HOW? Real Lagosians, when they hear anything that just sounds like a gunshot: They are not about that life, abeg. Captain America, calling for the Lah-gos fire and rescue department after a bombing: …and they actually arrived on time. The real Lagos fire department when you call them: No vex, Captain America! Anyway, all na jokes. Lagos is awesome and so is the movie. Oya, go see it if you haven’t.

prolly the best movie I've seen In a while.. marvel just threw characters at us like mehn!!. and the action? oh boy did they kill it!!!!. I didn't like how they couldn't just speak a Nigerian language tho.. it would have been perfect... I'm still wondering why it's titled captain America and not The Avengers-civil war... and before I leave, shalla to ant-man. dude killed it |

As much as I would really love to watch the movie just to see the portrayal of "Lah-gos," I just can't get myself to watch a super hero movie. Not only are they not realistic, they always seem to lack depth. And I am not a fan of such kind of movies. I would admit that I love the CGI though. In X-men Origins: Wolverine, Lagos was used as a setting and it was pronounced properly, I wonder why they are mis-pronouncing it in this movie. So much for background research. |
