Suggestion: Why Not Make Nl Colors Green And White, Nigeria's Colors? by Magz(m): 11:35am On Feb 13, 2010 |
IDK. . . Like I love NL, but I was wondering, why is the forum blue and white? I was thinking that maybe it should be green and white instead to reflect Nigeria's colors, You know? Just a thought and suggestion. Feedback? Responses? [img]http://2.bp..com/_FJSxWSju1iA/Sb-pYCmkzlI/AAAAAAAAAQE/APXskNIyQ0c/s400/asa-wrapped-with-nigerian-flag-uthman-wahaab.jpg[/img] |

Description of the flag According to Pedersen in "The International Flag Book in Color" (English Edition, 1971) the Nigerian National and Merchant Flag and Jack was "Chosen in 1959 from among 2870 suggestions in a competition; it was designed by a student from Ibadan, Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi. The green panels represent agriculture; the white, peace and unity." In "Flags Through the Ages and Across the World" by Whitney Smith, 1975, this flag was first officially hoisted 1 October, 1960, Nigeria's date of independence. So the flag that was adopted in 1959 didn't become the official flag of the country until Nigeria became an official country on 1 October 1960. Nick Artimovich, 5 February 1996 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Nigerian national flag is green, under with standard No. BF of 1955 it is chart 0-0-10, under The British Colour Council it is classified as CC104-CC105, and under SILOR international color chart is classified as 193-173 (Source: Federal Ministry of Information). |
