the Malaysian flag has 14 red and white stripes which represent the 14 original states. The design was based on the flag of the US, which has 13 stripes representing the 13 original colonies.

The Flag of Nigeria was designed in 1959 and first officially hoisted on October 1, 1960. The flag is a vertical bicolor of green and white. The two green stripes represent Nigeria's natural wealth, while the white band represents peace.

Old and worn-out and dirty flags should not be displayed publicly, as this is seen as disrespect to the country. Worn-out flags should be destroyed and changed immediately.

The flag is not only a national symbol but alsothe instrument of state power and the symbol of authority. It narrates the history, dreams and aspirations of the Nigerians people.

When carried in procession, the bearer is positioned in front and must be properly and neatly dressed.

Also in a procession where there are two flags with one being non-national, the national flag should always be in front.

Only special dignitaries are allowed to display the national flag in their vehicles, and should be displayed at the right fender of the car chassis oron the radiator cap.

Islam is a major influence in flag design, particularly in North Africa. Green symbolizes the color of Allah. The crescent and star, a symbol of Hagar the mother of Ishmael, and the written form of the shahada (the Islamic affirmation of faith) are often used as charges. The use of symbols is prominent in Islamic designs because depictions of the human form are forbidden by the Qu'ran. For example, the Libyan flag, Mauritanian flag, Saudi Arabian flag and the flag of Comoros all reflect the Islamic flag design.
