I'm sure nobody clicked the link to read the full article. it was a Nigerian that complained about the flag.

people are too quick to judge

It was an harmless irrelevant joke. Like asking if ur quiet sly looking cat is plotting to take over ur home or sthn irrelevant like dt. Africans have no sense of humour. Urrgh!

I can see some nice comments from educated and intelligent igbo guys(majority carries the vote). Most of these Igbo guys are not in support of that Biafran trashy movement. Only the few illiterates and touts are in support of it
what a hell are you saying?
is it by force for Igbos to remain in one country with you?
give Ceazer what is due to him?
you call the Igbos 3rd citizen,you call them all sort of irritating names,now they have decided to leave your beautiful country Nigeria for you and have Biafra the land of a rising sun,yet you are complaining and ranting like a trapped mouse,why?

you're a stup!p ingrate Billygee2u,upon all you've gained from this country? Igbos are all over Lagos gaining what they can never gain in Biafraland,Igbos are shooting their films and dominate Nollywood and are raking big bucks,if Igbos would have to leave,then they can relocate to another country,maybe Mali or Zimbabwe,but the whole Biafra land and Niger delta belongs to Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Igbos are successful,mind you some Igbos would rather stick to their yoruba communities with their Yoruba friends rather than move to Biafraland

Whats wrong with our flag? The flag is ok jor! I like simplicity. U think say na to design flag with mumu colours nai go make am fine........The flag i hate most is that of Kenya, e be like babalawo cloth. *Kenyans abeg make una nor vex o*
dude, why would someone hate another countries flag, Dislike maybe, but hate.... common, there must be something more from that hate.....

Every countries flag has its own significance to its nation..... Now your hate for Kenya's flag might be totaly out of Ignorance, everything in this flag is very significant........ And I would say, the Kenyan flag is very original in the symbolism



Black- Symbolizes the black indigenous population
Red - Symbolizes the blood which was shed in the years of war against colonialist
Green. Is the protection of environment, agriculture and national wealth (I bileve this is the same for Naigeria)


The white is more of lines, the white color means a dream for peace(the same for Nigeria) and honesty



The symbol you see in the middle of the flag is a traditional shield and two spears/arrows, it symbolises the defence of freedom
The shield was used by traditional men to defend themselves against arrows while fighting with spears





And thats how the Kenyan flag came to be...... So in one sentence you could describe the Kenyan flag as "Black people shed blood fighting(Defending) for peace in there natural land"

Bbc amalgamated Nigeria through Lord Lugard and Lady Shaw. Now they have seen their mistakes. They want to divide us and they want to start with the flag. To me Biafran flag is better! If they like let them ban me for mentioning my country.

Patriotism cannot be forced. It is inherent.
Your like your Nigeria so much and yet you want people who don't want to be part of your country by force.
It is stupid. Because Your Nigeria will never grow as long as long as'' fifth colunmnists'' are in her midst.
Why is this difficult for your one-Nigeria folks to understand?
