Opinion:Flags of West African countries. Looks like West African countries went to the same Tailor to get their flags done.
Flags of West African countries. 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.
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?
