Flags of West African countries. #Thread
Looks like West African countries went to the same Tailor to get their flags done. Can't blame the Tailor.
Ghana must have arrived first and given a black star patched in Yellow, Green and Red.
Then came Senegal: You see what you gave Ghana, yes, vertical of her. Give it to me quickly.
Tailor : Star as well?
Senegal: Yes please Make it green though.
Tailor: Who is next?
Mali: It's Me. Fram the Land of Mansa Musa. Richest man to ever walk on planet earth.
Tailor: OK Rich boy, how do you want yours?
Mali:Just remove the star from Ghana and give Me what you are left with
Tailor: Aah! You are not only rich, you are Lazy too!
Tailor: Don't tell me you want a star, I am out of star design.
Cameroon: Not so fast, Tailor. Nobody has a monopoly over stars. Ever heard of Yellow star on red?
Tailor: I swear you have taken the last star.
Tailor: Yooh Benin. How can I help you? Wait are you even a full country? Aren't you part of Nigeria?
Benin: Oh so now you have graduated from Tailor to UN you are now deciding who is a country and who is not? I don't need star if that is what you think. Nkt
Tailor: Burkina Faso, Please tell me you're different from all these guys.
Burkina Faso: Quite. We are proudly different. So just give us red and green. No Yellow.
Tailor: Sure?
Burkina Faso: Quite. But if you have any Yellow remaining you can 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: Get out of here.
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
Tailor: who be you?
Guinea: Guinea Conakry
Tailor: Real name?
Guinea: No, I'm Guinea but I add Conakry my capital just so I'm distinguished from Bissau and Equatorial
Tailor: Ha! So what design for you?
Guinea: Remember Mali's? Just swap the green and red. Don't overthink
Tailor: Yooo Togo, come for your flag. Where have you been?
Togo: Been fighting with Benin all along over which country is bigger
Tailor: OK now go!
Tailor: You should be the last
STP: Yes. Sao Tome & Principe
Tailor: OK who am I talking to? Sao Tome or Principe?
STP: One country. We'd fancy green, yellow and a dash of red triangle
Tailor: A star?
STP: 2 stars plz
Tailor: Two stars? Oh one for Sao Tome the other for Principe?
