‎50 Years Of Nationhood - The Nigeria's National Flag. by Omosorire: 4:12pm On Sep 29, 2010
The Nigeria's National Flag as presently designed (Green-White-Green) represents Agriculture and Peace. Right from the pre- independence and part of post independence especially in the early 70s before the Crude oil (petroleum) was discovered, agriculture was the ma, instay of Nigeria's economy accounted for nearly 100% of the country's national income.We had Cocoa in the south-west, Groundnut in the North (remember the famous groundnut pyramid in Kano?), and Palm oil in the South-east. The National flag as designed then was highly relevant!!!But since the discovery of petroleum in the 70s and because it now accounts for over 90% percent of the national income for Ni, geria, I think the national flag should be redesigned to take the petroleum into consideration!!As Nigeria celebrates 50 years of nationhood, our national flag should be redesigned as Green-White-(and another colour , say purple to represent petroleum and royalty). My thoughts!!!!!!!
