Thread on FLAGS OF WEST AFRICA
Looks like West African countries all went to the same tailor to get their flags done. Can't blame tailor. Y'all can't go to same person for a piece of cloth. Ghana must have arrived first and was given a black star patched in yellow, green, red.
Then came Senegal. "You see what you gave Ghana, yes, vertical of that. Give it to me quickly quickly!"
Tailor: Star as well?
Senegal: Yes please. Make it green though.
Tailor: Who's next?
Mali: It's us. Land of Mansa Musa. Richest man ever to walk the earth.
Tailor: OK rich boy, how d'you want yours?
Mali: Just remove the star from Ghana and give me what you're left with.
Tailor: Ah. You're not only rich, you're lazy too!
Oh no here comes the guys who speak English and French.
Tailor: don't tell me you want a star. I'm out of star designs.
Cameroon: Not so fast, fundi. Not so fast. Nobody has a monopoly over stars. Ever heard of yellow star on red?
Tailor: I swear you've taken the last star.
Tailor: Yoooh Benin, how can I help you? Wait, are you even a full country? Aren't you a part of Nigeria?
Benin: Oh so now you've graduated from tailor to UN you're now deciding who's a country and who's not? I don't need stars if that's what you think. Nkt
Togo: Like Benin's please. Just rearrange them so they don't think we were copying them.
Tailor: How?
Togo: Just swap red and green.
Tailor: OK. That was easy.
Togo: A star please. Black one.
Tailor: What's with you guys and staaaaaaaaaars!!!
Tailor: Burkina Faso please tell me you're different from all these guys, please.
Burkina: Quite. We're proudly different. So just give us red and green. No yellow.
Tailor: Sure?
Burkina: Quite. But if you have any yellow remaining you could give us a dash of it on a star
Tailor: Mauritania please here's your yellow star, green and red and go!
Mauritania: please add the moon. Full galaxy please. We're not an ordinary country.
Tailor: Niger Niger Niger. How may I help you?
Niger: Make me look different please. As foreign as possible
Tailor: Say no more. No star
Niger: But this is Indian flag.
Tailor: You said you wanted to look foreign
Niger: Yes foreign, but India?
Tailor: Gerarahia!
Tailor: what's your name?
Ivory Coast
Tailor: wait, your other name?
Ivory: Cote D'Ivoire
Tailor: Do I have any designs for such a name?
Ivory: Never mind. See what you gave Niger? Vertical of that
Tailor: No star?
Ivory: No, I'm good. Just remove that Indian dot at the center
Tailor: Who are you?
GB: Guinea Bissau
Tailor: Haven't I served a Guinea already?
GB: Yes. But I'm Bissau
Tailor: What's your capital?
GB: Bissau
Tailor: what?
GB: Bissau. Anyway, don't overthink. Give us exactly what you gave Togo. We have other priorities as a nation not flags
