Middle-Belt releases flag, coat of arms, proposed country name

Following agitations from different groups in Nigeria seeking breakaway nations, the Middle Belt appears to have joined the fray with the unveiling of its own flag and coat of arms.

Sources say the region has kicked-off plans to agitate for its own country, named Midwest Republic.

In 2016, the Middle-Belt had also unveiled its own currency, which it has now redesigned to include Midwest.

It has also released its official flag and coat of arms, photos of which have started going viral on social media.

Massive social media reactions have already begun trailing the proposed creation of The Midwest Republic.

NEW: Middle-Belt releases new flag, new currency calls it Mid-West republic.

This has the writing of Gov. Orton but ok.

And why are major Newspapers not picking this?
