Flag of Nigeria

The Nigerian flag consists of three vertical stripes: two green outer stripes and a white middle stripe, with a green star located in the middle of the flag. Green symbolizes Nigeria's natural resources and agriculture and the hope of prosperity for the country and its citizens. The white signifies peace and unity throughout the country's population, which is made up of many different races. Such a green star is known as the 'Star of Unity,' which is why it is popularly known as the green star, as it symbolizes Nigeria's independence from British colonial rule.
