Tayeni: OP.....i have always questioned the aesthistics of the flag too.....looking bland when placed beside other flags.....some idiots had to cuss you out and didnt even spare your ancestors...initially i was vexed on your behalf.....but when you brought tribalism into it i began to have a rethink that maybe you deserve every vile name they have been calling you

i never introduced tribalism in my statement. i dont care who got the award, but there was no brain work in the design

tonytony208: you are only suffering from the positive effect of schizophrenia called hallucination. So, your case is not altogether overboard.

GHKWAME1:

Nigerian women lead in skin bleaching
The World Health Organisation, WHO, has said 77
percent of women in Nigeria use skin-lightening
products, the world’s highest percentage. The
figure compares with 59 percent in Togo, and 27
percent in Senegal.
The WHO report said the reasons for this are
varied but most people said they use skin-
lighteners because they want “white skin”.
WHO also said skin bleaching comes with
hazardous health consequences. The dangers
associated with the use of toxic compounds for
skin bleaching include, blood cancers such as
leukemia and cancers of the liver and kidneys, as
well as severe skin conditions. It said hardcore
bleachers use illegal ointments containing toxins
like mercury, a metal that blocks production of
melanin, which gives the skin its colour, but can
also be toxic.
The report said in many parts of Africa, lighter-
skinned women are considered more beautiful
and believed to be more successful and likely to
find marriage. It also said it is not only women
who are obsessed with bleaching their skins.
Some men too are involved in the practice.
* In extreme cases of skin
bleaching, the skin can
become multi-coloured
and marred with
inflammation or scarring.
* In extreme cases of skin bleaching, the skin
can become multi-coloured and marred with
inflammation or scarring.
WHO investigation said lightening creams are not
effectively regulated in Nigeria where even
roadside vendors sell tubes and plastic bags of
powders and ointments from cardboard boxes
stacked along sidewalks in market districts.
Many of the tubes are unlabelled as to their
actual ingredients.
Qatar based Al Jazeera also reported that
business is booming for shops selling skin-
lightening products. A trader said, “About 90
percent of my clients come asking for skin
whitening products,” adding “I sell it to them and
give advice on what product is best for them and
how to use them.”

gaynians are too poor to afford those cream

UnknownT: In my own case, I am not against the ingenuity of d flag. He won a competition, and he was given the prize money #100000(someone confirm the zeroes), he studied abroad and came back, worked as a civil servant and retired. If some of his mates who went abroad with him then later made it in life, why do we then blame government for 'neglecting' him? It was not as if he designed the flag for free, he won a prize and was paid. Some bankrupt footballer will later blame Govt for abandoning them when during their prime, they were paid for each appearance + winning/draw bonuses. Its high time we stopped blaming Govt if someone who after he must have gained from the government in his prime by his own bad luck or what ever reasons became "poor". Kudos to GEJ sha!

He was a civil servant, on government pay roll doing his Job. He was paid 100,000 pounds in those which translate to millions. imagine that amount those days. yet he was begging for food before GEJ intervened. if he had designed the flag free of charge I would called him a hero and deserves the award. he ate his cake and had it back. when you here that the man who designed Nigeria flag is left on cared for you will think he designed it for free. very boring flag.

Typical of a particular tribe.

Melancholy: question for the gods. After you've google what it represent, u still come on nairaland to ask an embarrassing question. Least i forget, algeria and saudi arabia got same parti-colour.

theirs make sense, they are muslim countries and green is an Islamic colour
Islam is synonymous with green.

@ OXYGEN no wonder you are always high.
now I know why you talk rubbish of this forum.
expexting you on this Thread after weeding. at least lets celebrate Ghana for
this achiement.

GHANA MUST WEED!

front page thinz. at least Ghana pass Nigeria in one thing.

ikweremilitant: i agree with you and the op but i have a question for you.where was ur grand father when the british threw the offer open for the design.atleast as inteligent as ure u must have inherited dat frm ur parents.you are questioning a man dat gave us an identity with a unique explanation to bk it up.you are lucky am in a gud mude.

This RUMU IKWERRE boy This one you are in a good mood it seems you have sold some piece of land today. I guess as much Remember there wont be another abandoned property

See this

The Coat of Arms of Nigeria has a black shield with two white lines that form in a "Y" shape. The black shield represents Nigeria's fertile soil, while the two horses or chargers on each side represent dignity. The eagle represents strength, while the green and white bands on the top of the shield represent the rich soil.[1]

The red 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 and also stand for the beauty of the nation. The white wavy pall represents the Niger and the Benue. On the banderole around the base is Nigeria's national motto since 1978: "Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress" (formerly "Peace, Unity, Freedom"

See the Ingenuity in this master peace. Do know who designed this?

Was designed by a Nigeria with no award. you see the ingenuity in that master peace

[[s]quote author=justhelp]Any op am not suprise because no one in ur family will be celebrated or be successful as pa taiwo, I feel ur pain knowing that u are destiny to fail and suffer in life. But let me advice u,if u really want succeed in life learn to celebrate Successful people like pa taiwo akinkunmi[/s][/quote]am sure you are refering to your whole generation. your brother Obasanjo knew my position that was why he never talked about it. my point is not that I against the award. am talking about the flag itself. you should learn how to make meaningful contribution in a public forum

Does this not make more sense

Does this not make sense

epiginosko: Op. U ll need to study d history of Nigeria at d time ds flag was designed including d dominant factor of its economy and society.
Next u ll need to find out wat d colors (green white green) represent and its interpretation. r
Then u ll b able to appreciate d work of d 23yrs old undergraduate (Now, Pa Akinkunmi) and his timeless brilliant idea.

anybody can give any interpretation to green white green. to me its not well thought of.

alhajimikehell: yeah






or what we refer to as BAD BELLE....wat is the ingenuity in the chinesse flag a@ op??

look at the china flag with 4 stars with one big one at the centre. you see that the designer is a genius. the flag makes sense

tonytony208: ahahahah. Big time eediot! You are so empty. You pple are so confused. Which one do u really want? Biafra or lagos? When the birds come home to roost, it will hit you like film trick. My prayer to you: pls continue to buy. When IT happens, we shall all see how you will lay claim. Is it not someone who is alive and well that will lay claims? Flaathead, believe me you are a fool. And i sincerely pray you will not wake up until......

Remember how cowardly your tribe could be. dont work hard wait for the day nigeria will divide so that you will feed on the crumbs. that day will never come and you will wait for the rest of your generation. Igbos are not ready for another war. who will start another one? your tribes men? come on! you are a finished tribe. Lagos is an occupied territory of the Biafrans. you know how the jews have occupied the west bank and Gaza. and golan hieght? that is how we are expanding our living space in the west.

The Agenda is Working
One Nigeria

Fellow Nairalanders is There any special or ingenuity in the design of Nigerian flag?
a primary one child can put colors together and and give us a master piece.
green has been a colour white too is a common color

Past leaders who have refused to honor him know that that the man did not do a good job.
He just put those two colors together and maybe he submted those colors the same
day he was given the contract with know brain work.

what do yo think. The Man Michael Taiwo Akinkumi was over celebrated in this award.
too much media hype

I really dont know what this man designed that we are over celebrating.
a primary one pupil can do that. green white green. no ingenuity.

victorch: my fellow NL,, i was ther live,,, no okada knock down anywoman, wat reli happen was dat a guy was draggin 10naira wit d bike man and a fellow bike man came and out of anger he brought of a dagger and stab him back of his neck,, dat was wen d riot started,, vehicles destroyed ar nt up to 10 and no houses where burnt down it was d shops of hausa men.

Lies from the pit of hell. Abokki the get shop. who give Abokii money to rent shop. You cant change the story we know the truth. They shoulkeep targeting the Igbo people business. we are watching

Fabdedon: i was there i could not even stand there to watch the match..cos stones were raining like brime stones.... And the OP should give the correct/real gist pls #no offence... The woman that was being hit by d okada man didnt sustain any injury.. Just ha stew she pushed with the barrow spilled.. And an igbo guy who was sampling his market wares which was tiles left his business to face another business which is to help settle the case.. Am sure the okada man felt like watin concern you.. So as the igbo guy realised truely its not hus business and turned back to move on.. The okada man stabbed him at the BACK..NOT HEAD..and other igbo guys there reacted to the situation..the stabber escaped and the stabee was taken to the hospital.. fast forward... The angry igbo guys rushed other hausa guys and (you know how bikes are hjacked in grand theft) hijacked their bikes and cars... About 30 bikes were burnt and i think only 1 car was burnt not 35..but other hausa car owners lost their cars to damages...befor the sequrity operatives attend to the case with tear gas...
Eye witness ... saburi resident

No body has the monopoly of violence. I have never seen anywhere in Nigeria where Igbos start violence 1st. Igbos are peace loving. They are peaceful where ever they do their business. I have never hard where riot is said to be started by igbo group. but you cannot intimidate an Igbo man. that one na follow come.

long live Igbos
Long Live Nigeria
We need peace
ONE NIGERIA

tonytony208: i can't stop laughing at ur foolery. Just like the eediot you are, you can't see beyond your nose or read btw the line.

You are a finished man this Ekiti boy. go back to your state. Lagos belongs to Igbos. We own the land because we bought it with cash.

WE ARE GOING TO APPEAL THIS JUDGEMENT

I thought the acclaimed my of God has the power to see everything
He should used his power of vision to tell the whole ward what happened
this strange aircraft and strange explosion is exposing him the the more.

He should know he is not talking to his congregation who believe whatever he says.
He is now talking to people who are with their right senses.who can ask some question.

Please you guys should stop this and apologize to the whole world for building a house without approval.
