Has anyone thought about this?

The Flag of Nigeria between 1914 and 1960 was a British blue ensign with a green six-pointed star described as the Seal of Solomon,[1] .surrounding a Tudor Crown (later changed to a St Edward's Crown in 1953)[2] with the white word "Nigeria" under it on a red disc. It was adopted by the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria following the amalgamation of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate and Northern Nigeria Protectorate

"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

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.

It was often depicted in either a pentagram or hexagram shape. This ring variously gave Solomon the power to command shedim (demons), jinn (genies) and spirits, or to speak with animals. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, his signet ring, or its supposed design, it came to be seen as an amulet or talisman, or a symbol or character in medieval and Renaissance-era magic, occultism, and alchemy.

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)



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



Oooo...so now we get occultic!

From Jewish mysticisim, to Islamic mysticisim to an artist's design...to a flag.

1. Wikipedia Flag of Nigeria 1914-60
2.Wikipedia Seal of Solomon.

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.

Did you also read this part on Wikipedia[/url]

Yeah, and you missed my comment 'And the British wondered why we hated them......

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"

Coming from someone who's country is already dead.

SlyDev:


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

Lol mtchew
iPods on this app ehn
Always wilding
The stuff simply means joining together
Simple
Omo ignorance is nonsense abeg

wiseoneking:
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.

JimiJunji:
The original owner of Nigeria; the lever brothers had little Jewish-french roots and where core freemasons. Freemasons are known to use that symbol.
