The show, One54, focuses solely on the untold stories of African entertainers, athletes and business leaders. They operate under the banner, "One54 - Celebrating Africa’s 54 Countries, One Story At A Time."
In the video, Jonasi claims that the song basically means, "Look, there's a lion. Oh, my God!" In disbelief, the hosts laughed, and one of them asked, "That's it?" Many people argued that they assumed the meaning was way deeper than that.
Below are some of the reactions:
drreign corrected:
"Yup, Hollywood just used to get random African actors. You’d have one actor from South Africa speaking Zulu and another actor from Kenya replying in Swahili. The directors are like it all sounds the same and run with it. Africa is not a country."
heyytayy__ laughed:
“Look there’s a lion” I’m hollering. That’s why English will always be the easiest language cause how did all of that say only that?"
robj_sge argued:
"Google says it’s “Here comes a lion, father". "Oh yes, it's a lion".
yungsequel_ stated:
"Hey, at least they allowed us to all believe it was something powerful, meanwhile, they were definitely laughing at us."
cheryllinlouw stated:
"We Africans just make everything sound spiritual because we are spiritually connected to the earth and God, so I understand if you got goosebumps at the beginning of The Lion King."
