4) The Federation/Federal Republic Of Nigeria Prototype flag Michael Taiwo Akinkumi was studying in Britain in 1958, when he heard about a competition to design the new Nigerian flag. He submitted the design below to the committee. The committee chose his design as the winning entry, but removed the sun at the centre of the flag. Thus we got our green-white-green flag. [img]http://naijachronicles.files./2018/08/10513307_1453251344932168_5844387099471871126_n.jpg?w=584[/img] Nigerian flag The Flag of Nigeria was designed in 1959 and first officially hoisted on October 1, 1960. The two unique sea-green bands represent the forests and abundant natural wealth of Nigeria while the white band represents peace. [img]http://naijachronicles.files./2018/08/10429340_1453251358265500_7754698831186489741_n.jpg?w=584[/img] Nigerian coat of arms 1960-1978 [img]http://naijachronicles.files./2018/08/15032241_1812434885680477_5609861123367004623_n.jpg?w=584[/img] The Coat of Arms of Nigeria has a black shield with two wavy silver bands that come together, like the letter Y. These represent the two main rivers flowing through Nigeria: the Benue River and the Niger River, Nigeria’s main inland waterways, which form a confluence at Lokoja. The black shield represents Nigeria’s fertile soil, while the two horses or chargers on each side represent dignity and pride. The eagle represents strength, while the green and white bands on the top of the shield represent the rich agricultural land of the inspiring country. The yellow flowers at the base are Costus Spectabilis, Nigeria’s national flower. This flower was chosen for inclusion in the coat of arms as it is found all over Nigeria. On the band around the base is Nigeria’s national motto since 1978, “Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress”, formerly “Unity and Faith”. Nigerian coat of arms 1978-present.

(1960-1978) "Nigeria, We Hail Thee" was adopted as Nigeria's first national anthem on October 1, 1960. The anthem's lyrics were written by Lillian Jean Williams, a British expatriate who lived in Nigeria when it achieved independence. Frances Berda composed the music for "Nigeria, We Hail Thee." The Federal Government had announced a competition for a new national anthem for Nigeria, with a prize of £1,000 attached to it. The prize was won by Lillian Jean Williams. The anthem was criticised in 1960 because some Nigerians felt that the government should have selected one of the entries that was submitted by Nigerians. Some people also believed that the anthem was plagiarised from an old English hymn, while others felt that the anthem did not capture the Nigerian spirit. Nigeria We Hail Thee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyXxbSVES28 Current Nigerian anthem (1978-present) “Arise O Compatriots” was adopted as Nigeria's national anthem on October 1, 1978. The lyrics are a combination of words and phrases taken from five of the best entries in a national contest. The lyrics are by John A. Ilechukwu, Eme Etim Akpan, B. A. Ogunnaike, Sota Omoigui and P. O. Aderibigbe. The words were put to music by the Nigerian Police Band under the directorship of Benedict E. Odiase. The anthem was criticised by some Nigerians because it was composed when the country was under military rule (some people said that it sounded like military music). The National Association of Nigerian Student (NANS), therefore, prefers to sing the old national anthem. Arise O Compatriots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXULFLF_nWM The National Pledge The Nigerian National Pledge was written by Professor (Mrs.) Felicia Adebola Adedoyin in 1976. Professor Adedoyin’s children were already reciting the Oath of Allegiance in their school in New York, USA and also the State Pledge (which was introduced on 1 June, 1976) in Achimota School in Accra Ghana and they wanted to know why they didn't recite any Pledge while they were in Nigeria. She told them that Nigeria did not have any national pledge. This exchange with her children spurred her to conceive a new national pledge for Nigeria, which she wrote in June 1976. The work was published in the Daily Times of July 15, 1976 in an article titled "Loyalty to the Nation, Pledge". Barrister Adewusi, who was a mutual friend of the Adedoyins and Lieutenant General Olusegun Obasanjo (the then head of state) read the Daily Times article and eventually presented it to Obasanjo in August 1976. General Obasanjo modified it slightly and adopted it. In September 1976, he decreed that all school children should recite the pledge in their school assemblies daily. The Pledge 2 Likes 1 Share |

Op, I don't think the leopard In that oba akenzua coat of arm was taken from where you indicated there, the leopard is there because it is considered a royal pet in benin kingdom. Nice job, it not easy getting all this infos. some states has use over three different coat of arms and flags and yet the states are still not working well, I believe this is another nigeria problem, different successive government comming with it own idea of how their states own state is suppose to be, does this men we don't have Ideology in this country, every one with their own conflicting ideology.
