1. The flag was first officially hoisted on Nigeria’s first
Independence day, the 1st of October 1960.
2. The Nigerian flag is ought to be shown utmost
respect, no emblem or flag is to be flown or placed
higher than it.
3. 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.
4 . The flag is not only a national symbol but also the
instrument of state power and the symbol of
authority. It narrates the history, dreams and
aspirations of the Nigerian people.

smart manner accompanied with a ceremony at dawn

for the national flag to be displayed or used
improperly. Section five of the law states that any
person who exhibits or flies the flag in a bad or
defaced condition will be guilty of a certain offence
against the ordinance.

Our politicians should act in reflection of this Flag, but what u see today is the direct opposite of what the flag depict. Their act disgrace the Flag and their words go against our National Anthem. Its a shame that we citizens value and understand the flag more than them. God help us.
The Number 5 reminds me of NYSC days, when the quarter guards would be at their post 6am and 6pm everyday and u too must stand anywhere u are.
Its a good thing Nigeria still has this Pride(Flag).
