<P> The national flag is an adaptation of the winning entry from Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi in a competition held in 1959 . The original submission had a red radiating sun badge in the centre triptych of one white vertical with a green vertical on each side . After the badge was removed by the judges , the flag has remained unchanged . Like other countries , Nigeria has special ensigns for civil and naval vessels . Some of its states also have flags . </P>
