immortalcrown: Biafra is a word your colonial master named you as a mark of beast from Marfa in Southern Portugal. It was a favourite place of Portuguese slave merchant because the slaves from this part of Nigeria were strong with little civilisations and resistance, a perfect combo for slavery business 3 Likes |

BSsniffer: Well, here is the explanation per Wikipedia
How did the seal of Solomon get into our flag? Here is Lord Lugard on the seal (via Wikipedia) "The design of the interlaced triangles is I think commonly called Solomon's Seal. I do not know if and when it was adopted as the seal of Islam but it was found on the lid of a very handsome goblet or jug of brass and copper covered with designs, which was captured by the troops when the Emir of Kontagora, the principle slave-raider in Northern Nigeria was defeated. I thought it an appropriate badge for Northern Nigeria and as far as I can remember it was my own suggestion. On amalgamation of North and South it was adopted as the emblem of united Nigeria So, it was based on a design found on someone's jewel box. And the british wonder why we hate them so much..... So, what was that Seal of Solomon The Seal of Solomon (or Ring of Solomon; Hebrew: חותם שלמה Ḥotem Shelomo; Arabic: خاتم سليمان Khātam Sulaymān) is the signet ring attributed to King Solomon in medieval mystical traditions, from which it developed in parallel within Islamic and Jewish mysticism and in Western occultism. It is the predecessor to the Star of David, which became the symbol of the Jewish people in modern times. Oooo...so now we get occultic! From Jewish mysticisim, to Islamic mysticisim to an artist's design...to a flag. SAUCE 1. Wikipedia Flag of Nigeria 1914-60 2.Wikipedia Seal of Solomon. 3 Likes 1 Share |

backbencher: Did you also read this part on Wikipedia The flag was not universally accepted. Some native Nigerians, including Fela Kuti, refused to salute the flag despite it being mandated in schools. In 1956, some Nigerian Muslims burned the Nigerian blue ensign at Mecca, Saudi Arabia, because of the religious symbolism. In 1959, prior to Nigerian Independence a competition to design a new flag was held with Taiwo Akinkunmi designing the new flag of Nigeria which replaced blue ensign in 1960. And lol, I find it hard to believe the words of lugard, why would he appropriate a Jewish symbol to a Muslim dominated northern Nigeria simply because according to him "I saw the design on an emir's cup" ![]() |

BSsniffer: Again, that's why many of us were glad to be rid of the British. Insensitve, and sometimes lacking knowledge of local customs and beliefs. And arrogant. and racist.The colonial flag is just one example of all that. 1 Like |

That looks like the star of David alright. But the emblem inside is the crown jewels and that has nothing to do with Jewish people. 1 Like |

SlyDev:just a big fat lies about the name Biafra, research hard. That said, Nigeria is actually the name the Colonia Masters from Britain named you, and Lagos is the word the Portuguese first settlers named but finally, Zoo is the word some people called Biafrians name you. This is probably their last name. |

arthurwillia:This is pure illiteracy, it doesn't mean joining together. Your layman description is very rediculous. This is called the star of David. Originated from the ancient Jews during the time of King David. This is not the issue of Igbos but you got to be very apt and smart. |

wiseoneking: Sometimes I wonder where Nairaland sees gulIible people people. Quick to react but slow to think Kick the bucket means someone died abd it also means someone actually kicked the bucket What concerns Nigeria with ancient Star of David Are we David grandson or grand child? You level of reasoning irks me honestly Show me another recognize flag that has that star apart from Isreal? For your education : Two intersecting triangles means joining together of two things and the flag was done when southern and northern protectorate was amalgamated hence the two triangle and crown in. The middle meaning the crown is central to the amalgamation Go and learn from the ants dulIoneking 1 Like 1 Share
