EXCLUSIVE: President Jonathan To Unveil New National Flag Design At National Confab [LOOK]

As part of the national re-engineering project of the Federal Government, President Goodluck Jonathan is set to unveil a new national flag design at the on-going National Conference, this is exclusive.

According to our sources in the Presidency, the new national flag takes into account the aspirations of Nigeria’s 250 ethnic groups. “For sometime the issue of our boring green-white-green national flag has been on the President’s table,” a senior member of the President’s aides have said. “Frankly, speaking our national flag lacks character and does not take into account our rich diversity as a country.”

The new design, which adopts a rainbow theme and which has been made available to us, was designed by a team of the best graphic artists in the country.

“We have been on this for a while, it is absolutely brilliant,” another source in the Presidency said. “This is the dawning of a new sense of pride in Nigerians.” The new national flag has been ready for the past three months, but it was being kept secret for a grand reveal at the National Conference.

So, why doesn’t the President present the flag to the National Assembly? “The National Conference is a better platform because the event is hoisted on the nation’s unity, and this new flag is about uniting Nigerians which is a topic that the President is very passionate about,” our source revealed.

The current national flag was designed in 1959 and first officially hoisted on October 1, 1960. The two unique sea-green bands represent the forests and abundant natural wealth of Nigeria while the white band represents peace and was designed by a student, Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
