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 noting ever happens.

Where was your president @ the opening ceremony.... hed rather go to jamaican Carnival with his wife..

Mispalced priorities

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

See who's talking. I have been a victim of British bureaucratic inefficiency and incompetence that ruined my family holiday among other things. To the point that I treat their officers as if children are in charge. If you are not meticulous yourself, you may see their error-prone ways as normal.

Maybe you still over-rate their system. So was my wife when she was still new here. Until she saw things for herself.

Goodluck is not hosting any olympics, London is and I prefer him to go and deal with other majority black nations than siphone more money to England, with an entourage of 320 people, all being lodged in expensive London hotels.

No head will roll. Here is just advanced Naija.

federal government will set up a committee to look into that after which their reports and findings will be examine by another committee !!!!

...yet they look down their smelly noses on us! So they too can make mistakes! Gross incompetence is attributed to Naija and Africa only. I know mistakes are bound to happen but if it were to be in Africa would they see it as what it is; a mistake? Would they understand? Wouldn't we be the butt of jokes in every media house? Wouldn't they dredge up irrelevant histories just to prove that Africa is a continent filled with misfits?

Britain is commonly called Blighty. I have never seen anyone replace their flag with Belarus or Biafra flag.

No my friend. Mostly likely you don't speak French but Niger is pronounced "Neejair" internationally, so nothing to do with Naija.

It already is in my opinion. I'll probably just keep my tickets as souvenir and not go. If the kids will let me that is.

Why complaining, is nigeria not made by britain(LORD LUGARD)? they can change and remodel it to whatever they want as long as it remains their creation, so better do your complainings in things that will really help you.
Re: Nigerian Flag Replaced with Biafran Flag At The 2012 Olympics by dont8(m): 11:18am On Aug 01, 2012
If it is Nigeria to be precise, GEJ for don suffer for Nlanders' hand.
nerodenero: Some explanations need to be done.If it is a human error,then the fellow should be held accountable or even sacked.If na African do dis now,dem go say we b 3rd world country and we shouldnt have been given the right to host.Nonsense!!!
Re: Nigerian Flag Replaced with Biafran Flag At The 2012 Olympics by Yellowface: 11:23am On Aug 01, 2012
you will be shocked that lots of people outside naija do not know the difference. I witness a situation here in turkey some months back where a body incharge of foreign students in turkey printed a program banner with Niger flag appearing for naija. The point is this my fellow nıgerians we need to love,respect an dispaly and our flag more not just in schools and government offices. For instance here in Turkey yoyu see them with flags by windows of homes,dashboards of cars,shoppıng malls nd even shoe cobblers and snack sellers carrying theır country flag all around. whatis your attitude of you and ı towards the green white green?
Shaw007: Seriously how can this possibly happen Nigeria's flag is one of the most conspicous one in the olympics infact in d word"Green-white-green" its that simple and straightforward. . .its either someone did it on puporse 2 make Britain or Nigeria Look bad or some Machine or human error. ..BOTTOM LINE-The host is disgraced and disorganized(London right?) grin
Re: Nigerian Flag Replaced with Biafran Flag At The 2012 Olympics by maasoap(m): 11:24am On Aug 01, 2012
camary: where re d haters of GEJ. I tink he shud b held responsible 4d flag swap grin
This is the one of the reasons you need to examine your head and realise that those that criticize Jonathan are not doing so for the fun of it. Infact, majority of them actually voted for him during the last year election but you, GEJ apologists can't stand it when people criticize him genuinely. Is it a crime to criticize our president? Get a life and stop being a dog.
