Another day, another Zikoko podcast! This week we delve into 4 topics:
1. The tragic Orlando Massacre and America’s love for guns.
On June 12 2016, Omar Mateen took the lives of 49 innocent people and injured 53 others in a mass shooting at an LGBT club in Orlando, Florida. Yet many Americans are against gun control, believing everyone has the right to keep and own a gun based on their 2nd amendment right.
2. Americans and their attempt at the ‘African accent’ in Hollywood movies etc.
Zikoko writers have discussed this topic extensively. We wrote about Will Smith’s accent in the movie Concussion (based on Nigerian Dr. Bennet Omalu) and recently wrote a post on K.Michelle’s ‘speaking Nigerian‘.
But it seems we have to keep talking about it because Hollywood won’t hear word.
Every Friday, Zikoko rounds up the funniest news stories of the week, including some of the funniest reactions to them. 1. WAEC-Gate What leaks better than a basket? You guessed right: WAEC (Sorry WASSCE) questions. On Monday, news filtered in via social media that the WAEC Mathematics questions for the day had already been leaked […]
