Rather than use our vertical stripes of Green White Green flag, it projected the horizontal stripes of Orange White Green flag of Niger with an orange circle on the white in the middle.
You will recall that this is not the first time it is happening. The wrong flag was also displayed in the 2012 London Olympics, a women soccer match between North Korea and Colombia was delayed because the organizers showed the South Korean flag while introducing the North Korean team.
But why should such error occur at this time even when Niger did not qualify for the World Cup? Though the two neighbouring African nations; Nigeria and Niger share a 450-mile border and maintain friendly relations, the "ia" should always make a difference na. Kilode?.
However, see many more photos from the opening ceremony of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil which unveiled yesterday...
