Nigerian NBA player Festus Ezeli says it's about damn time the REAL Africa was depicted on a movie screen, and tells he's excited that Marvel's "Black Panther" will do just that.
Festus was asked how jammed up he was about a superhero movie set completely on his home continent, and that's when he told us how important the film is to him.
"It's great to have a movie that depicts the REAL Africa."
Ezeli goes on to tell us he's sick of the perception that Africa is a poor, backwards continent, and he thinks BP, and it's portrayal of the resource-rich, fictional nation of Wakanda, can change that perception.
"Africa is a very rich continent, and people don't know that. I think it's great we having a movie like that coming out."
WAKANDA FOREVER! (Go see it, and you'll understand).
