Mitt Romney might be right after all.. the Brits are quite disconcerting in overall preparedness.. Indian Flag in place of the Nigerian Flag...
In another sense the Brits might be right, the Indians are the largest white skinned foreign ethnic group in Nigeria..Hmm Somebody somewhere is passing a coded message!!

Not 4 the first time, the organisers have failed to show the right flag, first it was NKorea now Nigeria. Difference is the NKoreans made a big fuss and rightly so, but our players may not even have noticed.

They attached Indian flag to Nigeria.

Whoever did that must be a trainee on the job. That's what my brother call such mistakes.

It is the Niger flag not Indian. The Indian flag has a blue wheel in the centre.

How little we know about our neighbours.

Alicia says.... said...

Some people said Indian flag, Ivory Coast, Iran. Lmaooo. Ivory coast, same colors, but the stripes are in the opposite direction without anything in the middle. Indian flag looks similar, yes. But its easy to mix up Niger and Nigeria given that we're next to each other alphabetically.
But Lol at people saying GEJ sold the country and didn't inform us. Bwahahaha

what! how could they disrespect us like dis? linda, u gotta do something else i'll sue them

Do Americans care what happens outside America or care where Nigeria is or who they are.

yeye dey worry them, make i catch them

Unknown said...

No this isnt funny! we should demand an apology from NBC! Linda i think you should take this up! If na another rubbish incident dem go find our flag ooo! kmt!

Allegra said...

That is what was shown on NBC not other channels like BBCW. Americans can be lazy at times especially with things to do with other countries outside their own so do not blame the Brits on this.

They've used Niger's flag for us!!!!!!!!

These guys have started again. i also noticed the commentator kept calling a Nigerien rower a Nigerian yesterday

Anonymous said...

i think we should sue dem for intellectual property rights...oppourtunity comes but once plus dey say d country is broke...we could recover alot from dis u know

Anonymous said...

You just wonder when this leaders will start responding to the needs of the suffering Nigerians. It is overly unreasonable and inhumane for a first lady to be found with $13 million when over 14 million Nigerian university graduates are jobless.

them need correct am or we go pull out.

Unknown said...

is too bad that nigeria flag is forgote/n

PAPARAZZI said...

The question to be asked is if they made a mistake with the flag or the name. Very possible that they mistakenly wrote Nigeriaa instead of the original country. Our leaders shaaa!!! Ơ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡ what they have turned our country to, to the extent that the biggest sports body couldn't even detect the mistake cos our flag is not popular. They dare not try it w̶̲̥̅̊ith USA.

WE HAVE BECOME SO UNIMPORTANT THAT THEY DIDNT EVEN CARE TO CONFIRM OUR FLAG...SHAMEFULL...

ANY COMMENTS FROM OUR MIN. OF SPORTS?????? COS NOT......

Omo na wah O!!! So they want to give us a new flag by firer by force ehn? Imagine? Is this the latest form of rebranding? Pls let it end there O before they start robbing us of points and medals

Anonymous said...

This is not the first time this kinda thing is happening. In Euro 2012, they swapped Spain and Italy's National flag. It is just funny that out of all the countries in the world, na Iran dem give us. Though the level of terrorism in the country is on the rise.

Shocking! That even looks like the Indian flag! I guess they just decided it doesn't matter what flag they use since we are both "third world" countries.
