"Green White Green" What It Means Now And Then! by Olusharp(m): 9:37am On Sep 30, 2016
Green White Green.
Only one country in the world uses
these colours as its flag in this
sequence,there is no country other
than Nigeria. Tomorrow, 1st of
October Nigeria will clock 56years,it is
something to thank God for that the
bond still “struggle” to exist despite
the diversities. Moving away from the
celebration I will be writing on the
meaning of the flag colours what it
depicts then and now.
Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi, the designer of
the Nigeria flag must have come up
with series of colour combinations
before settling for Green and white,
he must have seen that every part of
Nigeria was into Agriculture,
groundnut from the north,Cocoa
from the west, palm oil from the
south,all of this symbolizes that
Nigeria was deeply rooted in
agriculture,it was our revenue earner
which means every part of Nigeria
created it own revenue, Coming to
present day Nigeria I believe the green
colours on our flag should be
changed to Black because we now
depend on one stream of income
which is the black oil also know as
crude oil,another reason for the
colour black is that we have allow a
small part of Nigeria create revenue
for the whole of Nigeria which is not
suppose to be so ,every part of
Nigeria was and is suppose to bring
their revenue together,this is the only
way the bond can be strong but when
a part is producing for a whole then
something is wrong.
Pa Akinkunmi also selected the white
colour to symbolize peace which
means if every part of the country
create it own revenue there will be
peace every where,I believe that is
why the white is between the green
colours but what do we have
today,we have a Nigeria filled with
danger as you have to be alert every
now and then, we have BokoHaram
from the North, Militants from the
south,kidnappers from the West,this
is not what the colour white on our
flag depicts, red is the right colour
here,therefore Nigeria would be left
with Black and Red,this are the least
colours to reckon with.
Black and Red is overshadowing our
green and white and if care is not
taken it will replace it all.
This is a call to the Federal
government to do everything in her
power to jealously guide the bond
that hold Nigeria,we must retrace our
steps and see where we went
amiss,we must bring back that
love,we must make each part of the
country earn it own revenue and stop
relying on one part to supply for a
whole.
As we Celebrate Nigeria at 56,I hope
and pray things get better and God
bestow His knowledge on our leaders
to lead us right and the same time
help them listen to the right advice.
Happy Birthday Nigeria.
God Bless The Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
United we Stand.
