The 11 Times Marvel's "Black Panther" Depicted African Culture Perfectly by askifa1: 4:20pm On Feb 20, 2018 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpS0S_BiAZ8&feature=youtu.be 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpS0S_BiAZ8&feature=youtu.be 19 Likes 3 Shares |

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 12 Likes 2 Shares

See them telling our own story better than we do. We even believe and embrace their own story better than we say it ourselves. 'Africa has no history except the one the West wrote for us'. SMH 17 Likes 2 Shares |
