The Ogoni People (Nigeria)

The flag is the one of the MOSOP, which so much as I remember means the MOvement for the Survival of the Ogoni People. I saw a report in 1995 on Australian TV, and the stars are all in the red middle band in a circle, all normal (like Cape Verde Islands).

I don't know about the number and position of the stars, but the three colours can be seen on the homepage of the Mosop-Canada (ed: link inactive). The gold seems to be close to 255-204-0, the blue to 0-102-153, whereas the green is somewhere between 0-102-51, 0-153-0 and 0-153-51...

This past weekend (16 or 17 June 2001) I saw a programme on the CBC (Canadian TV) about Ken Saro-Wiwa Junior returning to Nigeria to bury his father. His father's supporters flew a flag of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People "MOSOP".

This flag was V-Y-B equal vertical stripes with 6 red stars in a circle in the centre, in the red stripe, rather than spilling onto the green & blue portions.

The one being waved behind Saro-Wiwa had the stars "points-down" and on a (approx) 3x5 or 3x6 foot flag the stars were maybe 3 inches high. (1metre high flag, 7 cm stars for speakers of metric).

The flag you report has the colours in the opposite order to the other reports. Combined with the fact that the stars you saw were 'pointing downwards', could the flag you saw have been upside down?
