Why do other countries come into Nigeria freely..at least deny them visa until Tomorrow night now

The Nigerian embassy in Algiers did not issue a visa to one of the Algerian players (he is a late addition to the team).

Oh Jigawa! I love nature like mahddd!!! But guy i need details of Delta state. Wetin be old BENDEL state flag sef? And slogan

Jos is just so "plain" like "mountains"!

The Benin and Delta provinces were part of the Western Region from 1960-1963.

Following a referendum and the enactment of the 1963 constitution, the Benin and Delta provinces were removed from the Western Region and became a separate region known as the Mid-West Region. The Mid-West Region existed from 1963-1967.

Following the creation of states by the Gowon administration in 1967, the Mid-West Region became the Mid-Western State. The Mid-Western State existed from 1967-1976.

In 1976, the Mid-Western State was renamed Bendel State (Benin+Delta = Bendel). Bendel State existed from 1976-1991.

In 1991, Bendel State was broken up into Edo and Delta states.

Below is the flag of the Mid-West Region.

Op, you tried detailing the flags but I noticed you hardly detailed the flags from the middle-belt region and up north.

Kaduna? Kwara?

This is the flag of Kano state

That's the old flag of the Kano Emirate. Pictured below, the Kano State Governor in front of the flag and coat of arms, addressing the press about the murder of Bridget.

Anambra's look most appealing.

And detailed.

I'll ask why it contains the star of David inside the circle.

Jewish folklore has it that that's how king Solomon trapped the devil.

I'll ask Sha since that symbol clearly symbolises Israel.

It's a penny, a coin that was used in Nigeria before 1973. It's used to represent commerce/business.
