The Nigerian coat of arm (shield)
Nigerian coat of arm is what I describe as a symbol that holds the strength of the nation, actually it contains a whole lots in it. Among which include:-

  • Black shield and colourful wreath over the shield stand for fertile soil of Nigeria;

  • White horses mean dignity;

  • Red Eagle is for the strength of the nation;

  • White lines in the “Y” shape stand for two main rivers of Nigeria: Benue and Niger;

  • Yellow Trumpet or Costus Spectabilis is the national flower of Nigeria. In these case the are painted read for some reasons. The flower is placed on the ground where the shield is standing. It represents the beauty of the country and its nation;

  • “Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress” line beneath the shield is the Nigerian national motto. It was adopted in 1978. The purpose is to inspire the nation to be united, faithful, live in peace and grow, become wiser and stronger.
