Flags, Coats Of Arms, Symbols And Monuments Of Nigerian States All Nigerian regions and territories had their own individual flags and symbols in 1960. This was also the case with the new states that were created in 1967. The state flags usually consisted of the Nigerian flag, with the state coat of arms in the middle of the flag. However, the Murtala regime (c1975) discouraged the use of state flags. This was at a time that the military regimes of the 1970s were moving us closer to a unitary system by taking over state and private owned newspapers, television stations and universities. States were instead encouraged to use the Nigerian coat of arms, placed in a circle with the name of the state around it, as their symbol. Some states (e.g., Lagos) resumed using their pre-1975 flags and coat of arms after the return to democracy in 1979. The return to democracy again in 1999 has emboldened more states to design new flags and symbols (e.g., Cross River, Osun and Bayelsa). Some states have resumed using their pre-1975 flags (e.g., Kano and Lagos), while some states still use their military era symbols (eg Adamawa). This thread contains flags, coats of arms, symbols and monuments of (1) Nigerian states (2) Nigeria (3) defunct states and regions of Nigeria (4) heads of state of Nigeria Section 4 (2) of the flags and coat of arms act is still in force. http://www.nigeria-law.org/FlagsAndCoatOfArmsAct.htm www.nairaland.com/attachments/13271561_logos_jpeg8fb8a43c6d52205b71cebdb33a01b32c www.nairaland.com/attachments/13271562_sportsfestivalflags_pngf471bc1c1bec959dafae641c082093c6 Flags of Nigerian states flying outside the Teslim Balogun Stadium during the 18th National Sports Festival in 2012. 10 Likes |

What is the difference between a logo and a coat of arms (heraldic achievement) There are many good logo designers on Nairaland, but what is the difference between a logo and a coat of arms (heraldic achievement)? A full heraldic achievement is usually composed of the following: 1) A crest: This is the uppermost part of the achievement. For example, on the Nigerian coat of arms, the crest is a red eagle. 2) Torse: In heraldry, a torse or wreath is a twisted roll of fabric laid about the top of the helmet and the base of the crest. In the Nigerian coat of arms, the torse is a green and white cloth that the red eagle stands on. 3) Supporters: In heraldry, supporters, sometimes referred to as attendants, are figures or objects usually placed on either side of the shield and depicted holding it up. The supporters in the Nigerian coat of arms are the two horses. 4) Shield (escutcheon): In heraldry, an escutcheon is a shield that forms the main or focal element in an achievement of arms: The shield is probably the most important part of a coat of arms. The term can be used in two senses. Firstly, the escutcheon could be the knight’s shield on which the coat of arms is displayed. Alternatively, the escutcheon could be a part of the coat of arms. The shield on the Nigerian coat of arms is black (representing Nigeria’s fertile soil) and it has a wavy white pall on it, which symbolises the rivers Niger and Benue. 5) Motto: In heraldry, a motto is often found below the shield in a banderole; this placement stems from the Middle Ages, in which the vast majority of nobles possessed a coat of arms and a motto. The motto on the Nigerian coat of arms is, “Unity and faith, peace and progress”. 6) Compartment: In heraldry, a compartment is a design placed under the shield, usually rocks, a grassy mount, or some sort of other landscape upon which the supporters are depicted as standing. In the Nigerian coat of arms, the compartment is a green field which features the red Costus spectabilis, Nigeria’s national flower. 7) Colours: These are the names of the following colours in heraldry. Argent (silver), Gules (red), Sable (black), Vert (green), Purpure (purple), Azure (blue) www.nairaland.com/attachments/13271572_images_png41b586905e6233e72b076191f8bf9512 www.nairaland.com/attachments/13271573_images_jpeg_jpegeb6c065c105cfe1af50da1aeadfb7a99 www.nairaland.com/attachments/13271574_heraldicachievement_jpeg9a2dfb19d4e1706977d9870065c71b15 3 Likes 1 Share |

The logo includes the shield which represents the corporate amour for law enforcement and protection of the state, the Cocoa House and the University of Ibadan which symbolize a state of many firsts and landmarks of intellectualism and development. It also includes a talking drum and beaded gourd which, according to the governor, celebrates the deep traditional root and rich cultural heritage of the state. According to Ajimobi, the galaxy of stars on the logo symbolizes the 33 local government areas of the state and the green fields, with a harvest of agricultural produce, while the last symbol stands for the arable land mass of the state. Governor Ajimobi, while unveiling the logo at the Executive Council Chambers of the Governor’s Office, shortly after the weekly state Executive Council Meeting, said it was a reflection of the cultural heritage of the state. According to him, the logo epitomizes the restoration, transformation and repositioning agenda of his administration that would take the state to greater heights.The governor also said that the logo would represent the new identity for the state through which the uniqueness of the state would be appreciated. He said that this was the first time that the state would have a logo of its own, pointing out that this had really confirmed it as “a pace setter state with a pace setting government.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGxwR54-2xU Oyo State flag www.nairaland.com/attachments/13277194_149069161810592059198093325484402800719305n_jpeg3941d6bd5164ffd06162e700bfc97aff OYO STATE ANTHEM Aṣíwájú ni wá, Aṣíwájú ni wá, Aṣíwájú ni wá, Aṣíwájú ni wá, Ipò aṣíwájú l'Elédùmarè fún wa, ní ìpínlẹ̀ ọ̀yó, Ìpínlẹ̀ ọ̀yọ́ ẹ jẹ́ k'á ṣe gírí, Ọmọ ọ̀yó k'á tẹ'pá wa mọ́'ṣé, Ká bá 'ra wa s'ọ̀rọ̀, Ká sọ òdodo, Ká ṣ'oun tó tọ́, tó dára nígbà gbogbo, níbi gbogbo fún ìpínlè ọ̀yó; Kò ní r'ẹ̀hìn o, l'ójú mi, Kò ní r'ẹ̀hìn o, Kò ní r'ẹ̀hìn o, nígbà a tèmi, Kò ní r'ẹ̀hìn o; Èmí á ṣ'oun tó tọ́, tó dára nígbà gbogbo, níbi gbogbo fún ìpínlè ọ̀yó; Aṣíwájú ni wá, Aṣíwájú ni wá, Aṣíwájú ni wá, A...ṣíwájú ni wá. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCuuHFzpsg8 Late Governor Ajimobi unveiling the Oyo State logo. www.nairaland.com/attachments/13277195_1405406418151439954095661426758113705392469n_jpeg45a8958f54ebcb617fddc24fbad34f00 |
