Black Panther has got everyone screaming right now with packed cinemas and sold out tickets, no one wants to miss any of the Wakandian action. Here are 11 times Black Panther accurately depicted our beloved Africa.


Warning Spoilers Ahead


1. Sambisa Forest

Yes, Our very own Sambisa Forest located in Bornu State, northeast Nigeria. T’Challa’s first piece of action started with his ex-girlfriend Nakia’s rescue along with Kidnapped Chibok girls in Sambisa. Yes, when Okoye, leader of the Dora Milaje stepped in, she told the girls to “tell no one of this day.” Lupita Nyong’o actually learnt to speak Hausa for certain scenes in the movie.


2. Benin Artifacts

That is Micheal B Jordan standing in front of the artifacts which include Bronze Heads of the Benin Kingdom.


3. Mgbedike



The Killmonger mask is also closely related to Igbo Mbedike mask which embodies a wilderness spirit that is aggressive, brash, powerful, and stubborn.


4. Acknowledging Ancestors


Ancestral worship was a strong theme throughout the movie. You cannot separate any tribe in Africa from their ancestors because we believe they are always watching over us.


5. Africa Inspired Costume


Lupita Nyong’o’s character Nakia dazzled us with Ankara dresses. The Masai Shuka was also prominent in the movie. You cannot help but notice Angela Basset’s character as Queen Mother Ramonda wearing Zulu Isicolo, the famous hat traditionally worn by married women in South Africa.


6. Nsidibi


Text inscribed on the walls in T’Challa’s throne room is drawn from the Nsidibi, ancient secret symbols that is indigenous to Cross River, Calabar.


7. Slave trade


Micheal B Jordan’s character N'Jadaka asks T’challa to bury him in the ocean after he was defeated because he is brave enough to realize he cannot live in bondage like Africans who opted to jump into the water after they were captured during the slave trade.


8. T’Challa’s sister’s braids



T'Challa's 16-year-old sister’s braids are just too familiar.



9. T’Challa Guinea Brocade dress


Yes we saw T’Challa in our own Guniea Brocade, you cannot help but fall in love with the design right?


10. Herbs


And how do you depict a vision of Afrofuturism without herbs? We have been taking herbs for centuries and we will continue to take herbs as long as Africa remains. T’Challa had a taste of bitter herbs four times in the movie. Well, the herbs might not be bitter at all.


11. Dora Milaje Benin women warriors


Dora Milaje reminds us of the Dahomey Amazons or Mino. These The all-female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey in the present-day Republic of Benin lasted till the end of the 19th century. Mino means “our mother’s” in Fon.

Well this is nice to note, because i saw more of Kenyan culture in the movie.

Don't mind them, is it the Black panther that is afraid of bullets despite knowing his suit is in

What are you saying?
Have you watched the movie? Black panther absorbs bullets and even bombs. Omo the suit is something else. You would see where he turns a moving car sideways to avoid gun shots... Common men..

Am so happy Marvel decided to center this movie around Africa.

Some white critics are already complaining of the movie having too many black cast,...now that's racism!

But they forgot the all white casts in Lord of the Rings.

Nice.

Meanwhile someone is clapping back with a quote that Chibok is a Hausa community

Please let's get our facts right

Not everytime clap back sometimes use brain

A quick visit to Wikipedia and a crosscheck of provided references show that Chibok is NOT a Hausa community

Ignorant somebody calling somebody ignorant

Chibok is not a hausa community by ethnicity and is not predominantly muslim, but that doesn't change the fact that Hausa is widely spoken and understood there.

Africa could never have been as depicted in this movie, it's utterly impossible . Thanks in large part to the fact that it is science fiction. But there are still those who are already consumed by this make-believe as to now think that technology is the result of mere wishes ,unrealistic wishes, written on papers. Please wake up!
