He did a horrible job, he was terrible. The worst ever.
when will S/S & S/E get over d lost of gej in d last election ? Any where u see them,they exhibit frustration and pain. The same confused tribe,that participated in d last election,will readily tell u that they don't believe in nigeria. Ask them their gains during gej era,they will say "na our brother".. Afonjas did not gain during OBJ era,but u won't see us calling oBJ a hero. If gej had won,u wouldn't have remembered to fight for biafra. My point is that,u never knew what u wanted,u only react to situations. B4 we take u serious,recall ur pple from NASS and ones serving d federal government. This E-WAR,will land u NO-WHERE

Personally I think green is somewhat a bad omen wen it comes to national flags. Blue on the other hand is a good one.
Most 3rd world countries have green flags n developed ones bask in blue, my fav color smiley.

Young man I am a Yoruba guy. Stop screwing trash. The guy did a bad Job. Nigerias flag is one of the most boring. I don't live in Nigeria but so many of my friends here feel so same. We have a crap flag. What is my business with biafra, nass and federal government. You guys can suffer whatever you wanna suffer for it is not my business.

The Nigerian flag is somehow portentous. How did this guy so long ago manage to avoid the influences that led to all the usual colorful Bongobongo flags typical of your average African nation, to craft such a singular, subtle and sophisticated flag for Nigeria ? Whatsmore the founding fathers were nuanced enough to see something in the design of flag and accept it and not let themselves be moved to ask for its modification by the inclusion of leopard-spots, zebra-stripes or Assegai right across the center.

No, no, Nigeria was intended by the ancestors and gods to be a different kind of Nation for Africa, the otherlyness of the flag is indicative.

if this man was to be igbo he would have been living in a mansion or would be present as a special guest at a big events. Yorubas should learn to encourage and to some extent glorify their national heroes.
