THINGS WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE NATIONAL FLAG. •Rarely should the flag be used horizontally or laid flat. In a case when it is placed over a casket, a licence must be granted by the government. •The flag should fly at the peak of the hoist, except on memorial days or during state funerals as a mark of respect, when it is flown at half-mast. •When in a room or hung anywhere, no other flag, emblem or insignia should be placed higher than it. •When the flag is carried in a procession, the carrier should be neatly and properly dressed and must be placed in front. •When there are two flags and the second flag is not a national flag, the national flag should be in front. •When other flags are carried along in a procession, the national flag should be in front and at the centre of all other flags in the procession. •For an audience in auditorium or hall, the flag should be on the right end of the first row. •For a speaker on the platform, the national flag should be on the speaker’s right hand as he faces the audience. Other flags can be on the left and take their position sideways both left and right. •Whenever a group of flags are displayed, the Nigerian flag should be at the centre and placed higher than the others. •Only cars of special dignitaries are allowed to use the flag. Where permitted, the flag should be mounted on the radiator cap or attached to the right fender of the vehicle chassis of key government officials * The National flag is never allowed to sleep outside over night. And if it is to sleep outside a light must be beamed at it for all through the night. Rather, *The national flag is to be lower every evening by 6pm and hoisted every morning by 6am and the hoisting and lowering speed sha be at thesame pace. #IMALAH
