The National pledge, Coat of Arms and Nigerian Flag

FLAG


The flag is divided vertically into three equal parts:
The outer parts are green, and they represent agriculture.
The middle part is white, and it represents unity and peace.

The flag was designed by Taiwo Akinkunmi in 1958

COAT OF ARMS

The symbol above is Nigeria's coat of arms.
The black shield represents the good earth of Nigeria.
The silver wavy bands represent the rivers Niger and Benue.
The white horses (the two supporters) represent dignity.
The eagle represents strength.
The wreath is in the colors of the Nigerian flag.
The ground on which the bearings stand is Coctus Spectablis, which is a common wild flower found throughout Nigeria.
