Niger Flag Displayed Instead of Nigerian Flag during World Cup Opening Ceremony

Oops!

A major faux pas occurred at the world cup opening ceremony, which took place yesterday. When Nigeria was called, Niger’s flag was displayed.

Some viewers commented on the incident via twitter:
The Nigeria Football Federation says it bears no grudge against FIFA or the 2014 World Cup Local Organising Committee for the error.

“If they called Nigeria and they raised Niger’s flag, it’s not a matter I can address from here. People that were there saw it and I know they will talk to FIFA about it. LOC and FIFA made an honest mistake.

I know they (FIFA and the 2014 World Cup LOC) will apologise for their mistakes and that should be the end of the matter,” said Musa Amadu, Secretary-General of the NFF.

Mistakes can be made  anywhere.

However it is painful that because both country's have a similar spelling we got mixed up!

It is also laughable that the green- white-green flag of the GIANT OF AGRICA is not recognised as belonging to NIGERIA.

This also shows us that FIFA has not got much faith that we will do well.

Well it is now up to the GREEN EAGLES to show the world the green-white'green flag belongs to NIGERIA by WINNING the 2014 WORLD CUP!

*** MEANS...ENOUGH IS OUR OLD FASHION FLAG- GREEN WHITE GREEN- MAYBE THIS IS A SIGN OF  BETTER CHANGE...POSSIBLY WITH EFFECT FROM OCTOBER 1ST 2014.,.... FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD CHANGE THIS OLD FASHION FLAG...TO A UNIQUE SYMBOL WHICH CAN BRING FORTUNE TO THE NATION...WE ARE TIRED OF CORRUPTION, VIOLENCE , BLOODSHED, RITUALISM , TERRORISM,   QUICK MONEY SYNDROME, INSECURITY...ETC***
