This week has been a tough one! The murders of two black men by police officers in America have got everyone talking.
And we have some things to say about them too:
But American police officers are not the only ones that behave unlawfully, our own Nigerian police are lacking serious home training too:
Have you had a bad experience with police officers in Nigeria or abroad? Share them below in our comments section.
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.
