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:
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395973/ykuk5hqnmvk66vhjkuf2.jpg)
Na so.
Fast forward to Black Widow in the middle of a Lah-gos market
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391554/tnwcrzlbxjzs6n6a9wak.png)
See all those shops behind her.
…and nobody did this:
Even when Falcon finally came down to join her
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391047/m4ajppg7unouttxbvily.png)
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.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391047/stnx7v1dz9w7ufsnbmif.png)
HOW?
Real Lagosians, when they hear anything that just sounds like a gunshot:
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391315/dbmusfxeuwgtqf5xbeqr.jpg)
They are not about that life, abeg.
Captain America, calling for the Lah-gos fire and rescue department after a bombing:
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391554/gukxy0ttry52vfnmay4r.png)
…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.
