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.

I heard the films just over hyped

Watch the movie, it's great.

Man that Lah-gos thing piss me off small like say the folks at marvel no sabi pronounce a whole popular city like Lagos well.



At least e better pass the Lagos in x-men origins where Ryan Reynolds was interpreting igbo like say na Chinese

Nice one

Funny. Lol

Karleb:
Stop giving me spoilers!

Then go watch the movies and stop wasting time

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.

dc n marvl share. d same. story line in d sense that d word want dem under control cux f casualties. n so on. I rli dnt lyk d way dey ended d film.
