Oops! I left out a few. I also forgot to include the seal of the president (when I posted the presidential and armed forces flags). Every state must have a logo, because the logo is the seal that is used as a stamp or letterhead. I'll also post the logos of states that use the nigerian coat of arms as the centrepiece of their logos. |

This is one of the huge problems we have in Nigeria. We always allow ethnic and political differences hinder our development. If a project is good, we should all support it, regardless of ethnic or political differences, beccause at the end of the day we'll all benefit one way or another. By the way, this isn't an ACN or Lagos State Government project. And yes, there are projects to take care of other strata of society, from the middle class to the poor (Lagos HOMS, etc). They are under reported because they are not as spectacular as this. 6 Likes |

Pukkah: Nice project but they need to spare a thought for the transport needs of the 150,000 people (employees) that will daily commute to and from the City.You've just answered a question that has been bugging me for a while. I always wondered why the Green Line was designed to pass through Ahmadu Bello Way, rather than Ozumba Mbadiwe. |

abagoro: Abiola was the richest man then just like we have Dangote today. How wise does it sound for Dangote to contest 2015? Abiola made a very wrong decision.I agree with this and said the same back in 1993. Al-Hassan cautioned them that they should not get involved in partisan politics. Al-Hassan privately favoured the NPC, but he never got involved in partisan politics. He was close to the top member of the NPC, NEPU, etc, but he never joined any political party. It was rumoured that Simbiat was did not want MKO to contest elections, but that's what he did after she died. |

ikenga67: Thank you my brother for bringing that up. This Falomo throughtout this sad saga has been more of an opportunistic flunkey than a professional doctor. The problem with the like of Dr. Falomo and Fani-Kayode is that they weave these interesting theories out of nothing much better than broad cloth and then proceed to feed all that to the gullible Nigerian public who are already hard-wired to gulp up the most fantastic theories.I just realised that I never found out what the verdict was (or at least I don't remember), but it was a very interesting case. The lawyers on both sides wanted to use the usual nigerian legal tactics to delay the case, but the judge was not going to allow that to happen. I remember when Femi Falana was supposed to testify and one of the lawyers said that there were no flights to the US (or he couldn't get tickets). The judge simply used the computer on his desk to browse through the airline's website and voila! There was a flight. This was the wrongful death case between Hafsat Abiola v General Abdulsam and others. http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/articles/laolu-akande/mkos-death-no-longer-an-issue-in-us-case-against-ex-head-of-state-oladele-a-abubakars-lawyer-say.html |

I'm shocked that people are surprised that Abiola was singing a christian hymn. Abiola often said christian prayers and sang christian hymns (I saw him do this myself). Apart from the fact that he was a musician, he often said that he learnt christian prayers in school, he often donated money to build churches and could quote the bible easily. He often preached against religious intolerance. But that doesn't mean that he became a christian. Zadok said that Abiola had a bible and a koran while in detention (these were the first things he asked for and they were given to him, although the authorities did not want him to receive newspapers). |

Balkan: just being curious, do we have a rank like MAJOR in tha airforce?Yes we did. The Air Force is the youngest of the armed forces and the first air force officers were seconded from the army. The air force used army ranks until after the civil war. It was sometime after the civil war that they adopted the RAF system of ranks. 3 Likes |

Rastamann: People should just let June 12 rest like and allow Abiola to sleep well wherever he is! Every year people come out to say different things, why did they not speak when the issue of June 12 was fresh? These are all medicine after death.It is completely impossible to enforce the results of the June 12th elections. June 12th does not have any significance in that sense. However, it is very important that people continue to ask questions, otherwise this kind of thing will happen again. Who killed Abiola? Will the person kill again? What happens if (God forbid) someone decides to kill a nigerian president the same way Abacha and Abiola were killed? John Kennedy, Martin Luther King Junior and Bobby Kennedy died in the 1960s, but people are still asking questions about their deaths. Murtala died in the 1970s, but people are still asking questions about his death. 1 Like |

Zadok's testimony was even more interesting. Zadok is the guard that Falomo was talking about. Assistant superintendent of police Theodore Bethnel Zadok was the commander of Abiola's guards while Abiola was in detention. He was in charge of Abiola's feeding (he received money from Al-Mustapha for this purpose), helped Abiola deliver letters, etc. He would always taste Abiola's food before Abiola ate. Zadok said that on the day Abiola died, he was told to bring Abiola to Aguda House. When he got to Aguda House, Major Aliyu (General Abubakar's Chief Security Officer) told him that the Chief of General Staff, Admiral Akhigbe, wanted to see him urgently. Major Aliyu told Zadok to use his car and go and see Admiral Akhigbe, that he (Major Aliyu) would take charge of Abiola. ASP Zadok said he went to see the CGS, but the CGS did not have any need for him. He returned to Aguda House, but discovered that everybody had left. A guard told him that they had gone to the State House Clinic. ASP Zadok asked some questions (at the Oputa Panel) including (1) "Who served Chief Abiola tea in my absence?" (2) "Who tasted the tea?" 5 Likes |

ifechez: oga. anambra state no get flag or coat of arms. so remove this thing you posted. biko!!!Unfortunately the Anambra State Government website has been suspended, but you can still see the link to the logo on the website. It was this same flag that was hoisted during the National Sports Festival (Eko 2012) when the flags of all competing states were hoisted (in the presence of the Vice President of Nigeria, the Lagos State Governor and commissioners of sports of all the states) and this logo is still on the Anambra State facebook page. http://anambrastate.gov.ng/images/intro%20Logo.gif http://anambrastate.bmobilized.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fanambrastate.gov.ng%2F http://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=121100671319164&refid=46 http://m.facebook.com/pages/Anambra-State-Nigeria/198453873539688?id=198453873539688&_rdr |

Afam4eva: The state with the finest logo is Ondo state but their logo looks like that of a company.Back in the 1980s Ondo was called the "Sunshine State". Their football club is called "Sunshine Stars". I think that's the inspiration for the logo. |

And this is the inspiration for both the Nigerian and Canadian coats of arms (most commonwealth countries have something similar). https://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/questions/images/coatscot.jpg The Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom (this is the Scottish version).

Ngwakwe: Good job Naptu, but can you correct this illegality " State of Osun" to Osun State or better still put it in the category it should belong "the secessionists"No bad mouthing bro. I don't engage in that type of thing. The Osun State Government adopted the name The State of Osun and so far there hasn't been a law or an order changing that name. That's why I adopted it. If there is a court judgement or law that changes the name, then I will also change it. |
