This is quite needless and hilarious.
Better to keep quiet at times than open the mouth to remove all doubt...

Two wrongs do not make a right.
It is only the president who is allowed to use the Nigerian flag with the coat of arm on it.
Both Obi and Sanwo Olu are wrong to use the flag with a coat of arm on it.

LET ME EDUCATE YOU AND EVERYONE

WHY THE PRESIDENT USES THE FLAG WITH THE COAT OF ARM ON IT.
1. Distinction of Office (Presidential Standard)

The flag with the coat of arms is known as the Presidential Standard. It is a variation of the national flag used specifically by the President of Nigeria. The coat of arms in the center signifies that the flag represents the office of the President, not just the country in general.

This version is flown or displayed:

At the President’s official residence (e.g., Aso Rock).

On vehicles, aircraft, or podiums when the President is present.

At international or state functions involving the President.


2. National Flag vs. Presidential Flag

The national flag (green-white-green, without the coat of arms) represents Nigeria as a nation and is used by the general public, institutions, and at most official events.

The Presidential version (with the coat of arms) represents the authority of the President specifically.


This practice aligns with global norms. Many countries have a modified version of the national flag for their heads of state or military leaders (e.g., the U.S. Presidential Seal on the U.S. flag, or the UK Royal Standard for the monarch).

ARE GOVERNORS PERMITTED TO USE THAT FLAG?
No, state governors in Nigeria are not authorized to use the national flag with the coat of arms on the white stripe—that version is reserved exclusively for the President and represents the federal executive authority.

VERDICT: Buhari was right to use the flag with the coat of arm on it. Obi and Sanwo Olu were wrong to use the flag with the coat of arm on it.

Thanks.
Learnt something entirely new today sha, thanks.

Guy, you for just go online na and type "LAGOS STATE FLAG" na you can even check for all the states sef. No dey whine me ooo...
Lol.

Thanks.
Try Educate yourself abeg, Governors have the powers to design the green white green however they like.. Nothing is prohibited to them, the only thing prohibited is the flag that bears the military logo which is exclusive to the president.

With this update, Agbadorians and Bobo Chicago Asylum Inmates (BCAI) have scampered back to their holes.

Can you imagine! Every appointee of this clueless govt wants to score cheap goal through Obi.

Imagine this clown that his boss in sitting on a hot stool, still finds time to show his mumuism.

This jargons only reflect a illogical reasoning or a limited reasoning capacity. In what context are you comparing Obi to Buhari and SanwoOlu?. For Sanwo Olu and Buhari or any serving Executives, each flag has its own representation. Obi has no executive capacity, as a private citizen, he has to address the Nigerian public with the official flag. In his private corners, he can then snap pictures with any flag he wishes.
The issue was the flag, not the individuals using it. Even traditional rulers these days uses the Nigerian coat of arms as insignia on their stuff.

You're wrong. Governors can even design a new coat of arms for their state if they wish, or design any flag they deem fit that promotes their states culture and visions.
On point but don't mutilate or alter that of the nation
Re: Re: The Double Blunder From Sanwo Olu's Aide by Tflex01: 6:56pm On Jun 13, 2025
Obi is doing press conference on Democracy day (as a private citizen oh 😆 ) to say there is no democracy in Nigeria.

😂

Agbadorians need help. How could people be obsessed with someone who is not even holding any political post; whether elected or appointed. Madness manifests in different forms.

@Op, I think you should tag the mods
grin Otondo, your Agulu package fraud is busy jumping everywhere seeking for cheap attention up and down, crying and calling Tinubu’s name for cheap political clout and you don’t expect people to call out his lies on most national issues?

I don’t even have a problem with the flag, in his desperate attempt to run down the govt of Tinubu, he keeps dishing out lies without verification……thank God for Reno Omokri, only God knows the amount of lies some gullible Nigerians would Swallowed to be truth.

If you don’t want the spot light on him, then he should retire to his village or better still contest for onitsha market president….he put himself out to be president of Nigeria and not Anambala, so therefore he should be ready to be criticised since he desperately always want to be in the news.

So in what capacity is the Iyaloja-General, Tinubu's daughter, using a similar flag? The Office of the First Daughter of Nigeria, I suppose?

So going by gawat assertions, what would you call the flag behind Buhari, with Tinubu and Osinbajo clearly relishing the moment
Buhari and Tinubu frag looks more like blue not green like Peter obe as I know Nigeria flag is green and white not blue and white.

Do you even read what the two of us are discussing?
I said "A governor cannot put the state seal on NIGERIA FLAG." Did I say they can't have their own flag?
Based on the picture you posted there are two flags; Nigeria Flag and Lagos Flag. You claimed it was the same flag that houses the Nigeria and Lagos Flags in One and I said No.
Do you disagree with this position? Yes or No.
Is Nigeria Flag the same as Lagos flag? Yes or No.
I don't like a beating about the bush kinda discussion.

Nigeria flag has no coat of arms, they should give explanation for the ones with coat of arms. Am sure it must have represented something. Flags position by governors cars are different from the president . Even the Buhari own needed explanation
