The Flag is Green and White; and the Green I was told stands for the country's wealth in Agriculture and Natural Resources...Such was the mind of Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, whose winning design for the flag is today the official colours of the Nation.
The wealth beneath the soil is God given, but even then the people of Canaan had their own moments of encounter with Sapa that God's own favored family 'Jacob and sons' had to flee home to the land of the Slave masters 'Egypt' to hustle for the next meal, despite Canaan being the promised Land 😆, A Nation directly under God's government, yet, they suffered famine.
The White However, represents Peace and Unity, as described by Taiwo Akinkunmi, who by the way designed the flag as a Nigerian student in London...Paradise has always been symbolically described as White either in movies, music, or in pieces of literature like 'My book of Bible Stories' etc. Despite the saintly impressions of the heavenlies, war was still recorded, violent disagreement amongst Celestial bodies and an insurrection that led to a secession or more like it, an entity directly under God. This established in my mind that the sky however White will still acknowledge the presence of dark clouds....
Green and White are our colours, wealth, peace and unity are our lot and regardless of what currently abound, that presents a reality in contrast with desire and vision, we will get there...Even Nations and Societies directly under God encountered their periods of instability, Incertitude and Lack... And for over 60 years, Nigeria may have been in and out phases of discomfort, but I assure you presently, our time to finally enter the realm of realization of our vision as symbolized by our colours, 'Green and White' is here...
With Visionary leaders such as the Genius Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the highly celebral Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeed, PhD, Uncommon Senate President Akpabio, I am more than certain, Nigeria of our dreams is finally here.
Good Morning Severally.
@renoomokri Well said, Eko for show! I propose that Lagos should be organising leadership training for other governors in the country. Governance, is serious business not drama.
@renoomokri Lagos state is a model state in Nigeria
There are only two states in Nigeria
Lagos and others
But Borno and Rivers are showing potentials
Kudos to Lagos state as always
The actions taken by Governor Sanwoolu so far over the unfortunate elevator-linked death of Dr Vwaere Diaso, from the suspension of the GM of the Lagos State Infrastructure and Asset Management Agency, the delisting and sacking of the facility management company and the arrest and handing over of the elevator installers to the police for prosecution, has been very commendable.
And by introducing a policy to involve the hospital management in the running of the facility shows that the government has learnt needed lessons from this needless tragedy. I am hard-pressed to see how the Lagos State Government could have handled the situation better.
Additionally, it is particularly heartwarming that all staff of the Lagos State Government have life insurance provided by the state. And while this will not bring Dr Diasa back, it offers at least some succour to her family. Indeed, Lagos has shown itself to be a Centre of Excellence in Nigeria, and I commend the government of the state for restoring the confidence of the public in its ability to govern them effectively.

In my post game interview with 🇳🇬Super Falcons Ashleigh Plumptre, she made this strong point. I agree entirely
“I’m telling you, after this game, I’m tired of people just saying that African teams are just strong, and they’re just fast, and count us out as being technical or tactical. Like we just pushed England to the very end. And I actually think that we had better chances than them.
“We made a statement here. We won’t be forgotten for what we’ve done and this will just be the foundation moving forward,”
I think it is time to call a spade, a spade: the simple reason the elites in the South East are finding it difficult to speak out against those killing and dehumanising their own people in the East is the fear of reprisal attacks against their own properties and family members back home by these ‘unknown gunmen’.
I have spoken to my friends privately and they have admitted this much. Let’s not put unnecessary pressure on these elites. It’s a difficult situation for them. Their silence does not mean support for what is happening there. It is the responsibility of the federal government to restore law and order in all parts of the country and this I am ABSOLUTELY certain the government of @officialABAT will do. Besides, we cannot isolate a region and its elites in a country where we see ourselves as one. It is our collective responsibility to assist the FG in restoring order nationwide.
The only thing I ask is that these same elites must either now be silent or totally support the efforts of the federal government (be it military or otherwise) in restoring order to that region. When they initially kicked against operation ‘PYTHON DANCE’ in the East, little did they know that the situation would degenerate to this level of savagery. Now, they know.

@OgbeniDipo U don't need to be arguing with a clown like Rufai, someone that has a confused parent.
Can u imagine his father denied his faith at the age of seventy six.
@OgbeniDipo Ruffai also have achievement being antagonistic, Fakenews peddlers, attention seeker that took AriseTv has his training ground for is Degree he got which actually qualified him to be taking care of animals etc, but arisetv gave him voice
@OgbeniDipo Rufai is a social media journalist, how many documentaries has he done, or how many places has he visited rather than picking stories from SM and be saying nonsense. We know practical journalists who have visited places and did investigative journalism not Aparo journalist.
@OgbeniDipo Rufai too went to one iyanfoworogi university.
He studied animal science which qualified him to speak aparo language.
He mistaken found himself among Omo ebiyan caused by the arm deal ole of maduka.
He relates on both Twitter and real like like eranko he studied
Unfortunately, a person of this guy's caliber could reason and tweet such a lie. It only shows what I've always believed, he does not understand how governance works. He sure does not know. Thank God we missed this tragedy as a president.
I would have said politics reduced this one to a common fakes news merchant in the league of Oseni but my brain quickly activated memory that he's always been like that even before politics...He breaths lies and survive on falsehood...
Blessings upon Nigeria you lost the race and will NEVER be President.
