i think it was just an error.niger always comes before nigeria when you scroll list of countries so it was just an honest mistake but the nigerian authorities should demand an apology

Diya Dayo: One thing i see about this is that Nigeria is a confused country so i just believe that the spirit of that confusion as gone with us to the Olympic game and it has affected our flag display. may God help out from this traumatic situation.

Are you serious?

These english people are a disgrace! We are a former colony and they still don't know what our flag looks like And they call themselves literate. Most europeans and even americans don't know where Nigeria is found on the map. Rubbish!!

This' a gross error but on the other hand, flaws are bound to happen in an event of this prime. No hoax should be created from this as Nigeria isn't the only victim. Our concentration should be on teamNigeria winning at least a gold medal rather than flag error.

British Islanders don't know much about other people apart from America.
All the inefficiency and bureaucracy Naija has was inherited from Britain. Fire brigade approach is a normal thing here.

Imagine, they couldn't learn national flags after 7 years of preparation & £9 billion.

Stop over reacting... its got nothing to do with £9 Billion. ATOS Origin are running the systems.. heads will roll, people will be reprimanded unlike us where nothing ever happens.

Where was your/our president @ the opening ceremony.... he'd rather go to jamaican Carnival with his wife..

Not sure we even had a proper delegate representing the head of the country yet he can go to Beligum for wan yeye World Customs Officers conference to deliver a rubbish speech....

Mispalced priorities

Why dont you google up major Olympic gaffes and see this is not an isolated event...

Pres. GEJ should quickly set up a committee concerning this embarrassment to our 'kontiri'. And the committee should report back to the house committee on sport within 3mths and the house committee should report the matter to the London olympic committee and if they refuse to sack all the culprits, Pres. GEJ should ban all our athletes from participating in future olympics and sports generally.

They call us a 3rd world 'kontiri' and yet,we hosted the world cup U-21 successfully(only that nepa 'carry light go' in one of the stadia for about 30mins and play resume immediately as nepa 'carry light come back').

I strongly believe these English people are after Pres.GEJ. And the CIC must act very fast.
