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 (eg Cross River, Osun and Bayelsa). Some states have resumed using their pre-1975 flags (eg 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 [img]http://naijachronicles.files./2018/08/22007968_1967586453498652_4305524316004449420_n.jpg?w=584[/img] [img]http://naijachronicles.files./2018/08/sports-festival-flags.png?w=584[/img] Flags of Nigerian states flying outside the Teslim Balogun Stadium during the 18th National Sports Festival in 2012. https://naijachronicles./2018/08/06/flags-coats-of-arms-symbols-and-monuments-of-nigerian-states/ 4 Likes 5 Shares |

blazer2018:That's because they know that they can get free money from the government. This free money from the government is seriously damaging our football. The NFF gets that money whether it performs well or not. The government has no business paying millionaires in the Super Eagles "winning bonus" and allowances when there are hospitals to fix and schools to fund. Government funding of sports should be restricted to sports development in primary and secondary schools and in tertiary institutions. Instead, the NFF should make our football attractive and sponsors will come rushing in. The NFF can make enough money from friendly matches, media rights (TV, radio, internet, etc), sponsors, etc to fund its activities if it makes our football attractive. I remember how sponsors were falling over themselves to sponsor the Nigerian teams in 1996-1998 and how many countries and promoters were willing to pay us to play friendly matches. Note that I don't only mean Nigerian sponsors, because the fact is that the Eagles and Falcons can attract sponsorship from foreign companies if our football is as attractive as it was in 1996-1998. Ditto for our league. If football is like a religion in Nigeria, as you said, then it should have no problem attracting money if our football is developed. The English Premiership makes a lot of money from Nigeria. The problem is that sponsors would demand accountability and a certain standard from the NFF and so the NFF prefers free money from government. The free money from government should stop! 9 Likes 4 Shares |

blazer2018:Then the government should stop funding the NFF. Simple! FIFA already gives the NFF a lot of money and I personally believe that government has no business funding professional sport. 2 Likes 1 Share |

FIFA (in English) is the Federation of International Football Associations. Basically, the country Nigeria is not a member of FIFA, rather, it is the NFF (that is, the Nigerian football association) that is a member of FIFA. This is why FIFA refused to meet with Dalung. The federating associations often meet to make rules that govern FIFA and member associations. In the late 1990s the federations decided that government interference in the internal affairs of member associations should no longer be tolerated. FIFA also decided that sporting disputes and disputes within their member associations should be referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) that was set up by the International Olympic Committee or any other such truly independent courts of arbitration for sports, rather than the civil courts. 33 Likes 1 Share |

There are reports that the Federal Government (read Professor Osinbajo) has written to FIFA stating that the NFF will be run according to FIFA statutes and that the NFF bill, which has been stuck in the National Assembly for ages, will be passed. Are we going to be banned? Let's see what happens this afternoon. |
