NAKEDGIST discovered that Nigeria may lose 24 local councils, by method of surrendering, to another nation to be known as United Nations Association (UNO) State of Cameroon at its fringes with la Republique du Cameroun. As per reports, the withdrawal of his nation's warriors by President Paul Biya from the southern piece of the arranged UNO State of Cameroon has made way for the formation of the new state being initiated by the UN. The withdrawal of troops by Biya was officially requested by the previous President of the United Nations General Assembly, Ali A. Treki on May 20, 2020. This was uncovered in a May 26, 2020 letter of the UNO State of Cameroon to Prof. Martins Chia Ateh, the United Nations-designated workshops facilitator in Cameroon and Nigeria. Ateh said in the letter: "Welcome and much thanks for the joined rundown of the individuals who were kept in the Nkambe jail of Cameroon in August 2008. "It is just now that the warriors of la Republique du Cameroun are being pulled back from the southern piece of UNO State of Cameroon." He said it really was great Treki kept the records straight. On UN's making of another nation in Africa, Ateh stated: "I ought to hit you up once the United Nations gets done with an official declaration on the presence of UNO State of Cameroon to the international network." While imagining the new state, the previous UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan welcomed previous President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria and Biya of Cameroon to sign reports regarding their nations' international limits. It was found out that Obasanjo and Biya marked the reports in Walk 2003 to surrender their twin domains (Northern and Southern Cameroons) to the proposed UNO new nation in West and Focal Africa. The UN, as per ongoing reports, swore to realize another State of Cameroon on July 10, 2020. Inhabitants of Southern Cameroon were energized over the merger of their property with Northern Cameroon in Nigeria, including 24 local government regions in Borno (five), Adamawa (12) and Taraba (seven) states. The Southern Cameroon inhabitants have since a year ago during their fomentations to isolate labeled the UNO State of Cameroon as "Ambazonia." In Nigeria, the new nation's landmass reaches out from Bakassi Promontory in Cross Waterway State to Ngala Local Government Zone of Borno State in the Lake Chad area. While reacting to surrendering five local government zones from Borno State, an associate to Representative Babagana Zulum stated: "We'll study the ongoing unfurling improvements on surrendering Bama, Gwoza, Dikwa, Kala/Balge and Ngala chambers to the UNO State of Cameroon. "The state government will likewise be liaising with administrative offices on the most proficient method to surrender the influenced local government territories as Obasanjo and Biya had marked archives with the UN to regard their international limits."
As per the UN workshop organizer and director, controlling advisory group, Ateh, the boards to be surrendered to UNO State of Cameroon, incorporate Bama, Gwoza, Ngala, Kala/Balge, Dikwa. Others incorporate Madagali, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Mayo/Belwa, Toungo, Ganye, Serti, Hong, Jada, Maiha and Jada committees. It was found out that before the declaration of the new state, the UN had held Northern and Southern Cameroons under watch since Obasanjo and Biya marked the records under the UN settlement. In the interim, the Secretary-General of UN, Antonio Guterres has initiated the procedure of refinement towards the July 10 date of making the new state for the Anglophone separatists in Cameroon. As indicated by reports, Guterres has ceaselessly contacted the UNrepresentative accountable for the regions, Ateh to continually sort out sensitisation workshops on the short history of the UNO State of Cameroon. The UN is resolved and continually fingered as an invested individual in the course of action to complete the new state.

On silk banners
I have five partially finished silk banners in my office. I applied gutta to two of them (our devices), I sketched out two more (our badges), and one is half painted. Saturday is the remote Ealdormere Vexillology guild moot. I want to get excited about this project again, but I’m intimidated by the fluidity of the silk paint. My little guidon got all blotchy because it dried touching a plastic surface. I keep imagining that on a large scale with these banners--also the worst case scenarios of splotches and bleed out and knocking over my paint bottle--and I chicken out of continuing. It’s a wonder I get anything accomplished with this critical pessimist in my head.
Mostly, what I’m looking for today is a more efficient method of suspending the silk than thumb tacks in the back of a 3′x4′ canvas frame. Of course, I found myself drawn every which way looking at banners and reading how-tos. It was good to get a refresher on the technique before attempting it again.
I was introduced to the idea of a wooden or PVC tube framework with binder clips, Chinese suspension hooks, safety pins, or alligator clips tied on to stretch out the banner. (ex. https://www.silkpainters.org/wiki.php?WID=7). As an alternative to ties either rubber bands or elastic could be used (https://textiletimetravels.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/bannerhandout.pdf).
I obtained my silk, gutta, and dye-na-flow by mail from Dharma Trading Co. (http://www.dharmatrading.com). I was ready for a fee for these items to ship across the border to Ontario, but it was considerably higher than I expected.
This method of banner making uses the Serti or “Closing the fence” technique to create a barrier of resist to keep the dye from running into the surrounding areas (http://gutenbergscribes.chivalrysports.com/Heraldic-silkpainting.pdf). The resist can be water-based, acrylic, latex, or wax (batik). While batik was practised on silk in China and Japan as early as the first century, and in Egypt during the 5th century, I didn’t find evidence that Europeans used it on heraldic banners in period (https://www.batikguild.org.uk/batik/history-of-batik). This site also mentions cassava and rice-paste resists being used in Africa. According to a different site (http://www.housewolfstan.net/Projects/AlynasSilkBannerPaintingClass.htm) resist can be traced to use on silk in India during the 2nd century, but could have been made from sap, thickened honey, or wax.
The edges could be hemmed all around first or a line of gutta can act as a fray stop at the edges. It was easy enough to print our heraldry to the appropriate size and trace it with a pencil since the silk is translucent. I bought my gutta in two ways, by the tube and by the jar. I found the jar and my liner brush gave me a cleaner, if thicker, line because my pressure on the tubes wasn’t consistent enough.
From Rylyn and Percy’s banner classes (available on the Royal Ealdormere Guild of Vexillology Facebook page), I got the warning to ensure the gutta goes down in an unbroken line and to perform a visual inspection of the backside because a gap could cause bleeding between colours. I got nervous and heat sealed my gutta with an iron, which, I was assured, was completely unnecessary. I used a bit of baking parchment paper, so the gutta did not stick to the iron. I also read about using a maul-stick when working with large banners, so as not to smudge the gutta (http://gutenbergscribes.chivalrysports.com/Heraldic-silkpainting.pdf).
They also suggested wetting the silk with a spritzer of water when working with a large area to help minimize colour overlap strokes. It sounds like, if the dye-na-flow silk paint does not dry dark enough additional layers may be needed. The colour will not run so freely on the second pass. This makes shading with hatching strokes possible. Also, the same scroll work technique of working from light colours to darker ones should be applied here. A dark colour can mask a splotch of a light colour, but a light colour cannot mask a darker one.
There is also a possibility that dye will remain in the brush even after you wash it out. Have dedicated brushes for yellow and black to prevent disappointing muddiness on future projects.
“If the dye leaks through a resist line, use a Q-tip to absorb the dye and add water to the spot to dilute the dye as much as possible. If the dye is dark, be aware that it will rarely come out but you can minimize its appearance if you catch it quickly enough. Once you correct a mistake, you have to wait until that spot is completely dry before you paint over it. Correct gaps in resist if necessary before painting” (http://www.housewolfstan.net/Projects/AlynasSilkBannerPaintingClass.htm).
On my guidon, I touched up the bleed out with a small bit of acrylic paint. I don’t recommend it though because it appears as a dark shadow when the banner is hung in the sunshine.
After it is allowed to dry 24 hours, the banner should be heat-set with an iron, washed, and hung to dry. Lastly, sew on some ties or a sleeve to feed a pole through.
Banners were used in a variety of scenarios including military, municipal, funerary, ecclesiastical, or in tourneys. As for period examples, few survive compared to the numbers of banners we see in illuminated manuscripts, and those that have survived tend to be made from silk appliqué with embroidery. In late period, it sounds like there were sumptuary laws that limited use of appliqué banners to the upper nobility.
We do have Cennino Cennini’s record (http://narcissistart.blogspot.com/2016/09/painted-silk-banners-of-late-middle-ages.html) of how to paint and gild cloth for church banners specifically. Bless his wordy heart for detailing all things paints can be used for. It essentially comes down to 1) tack the silk or linen down evenly, 2) apply a light coat of size, 3) apply a light coat of gesso and starch, 4) scrape it smooth when dry, 5) draw on the design with charcoal, 6) trace over the design with ink, 7) do the gilding, 8) varnish the gilding, 9) paint it like a fresco, 10) make sure to apply multiple coats or the colour will look blotchy, 11) temper the colour with egg yolk to make it last, and 12) varnish it with an oil mordant.
In late period, there is also the possibility that oil tempered paints were being used on banners instead of egg tempera paints. Silk fringe and tassels were also adhered to some banner edges in period. The linen or silk that comprised the base of the banners was pre-dyed in some cases.
This site goes over banner shapes and has a nice history on the first recorded use of banners (http://www.housewolfstan.net/Projects/AlynasSilkBannerPaintingClass.htm). “Although the use of heraldry (and heraldic flags) did not come into common use until the late 12th Century, there is some documentation of the use of flags as early as the 9th Century. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the supposed capture of a Raven Flag of the Danish Vikings during battle in AD 878. The flag was thought to have been used to be a sign of the outcome of battle. The raven was fluttering before victory and drooping before defeat. The Oriflamme, is one of the earliest mentioned flags in medieval times. It was the battle standard of the King of France and was first used in 1124 by Luis VI. It was last flown in the battle at Agincourt in 1415. When the Oriflamme was displayed on the battlefield it indicated that no quarter (mercy) was to be given, and hence it was called the oriflamme of death. It was described in 1225 as a red silk gonfannon with green fringe or tassels, flown from a lance.”
