WOULD IT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE IF THE DESIGN WAS MORE COMPLEX......WHAT MATTERS IS THAT HIS DESIGNS ALBEIT SIMPLE ( JAPANS FLAG IS MORE BLAND BY THE WAY) WAS ADOPTED BY THE COUNTRY...........ALONG WITH ITS INTERPRETATIONS.......SOMETIMES I FEEL THIS FORUM SHOULD BE FOR PEOPLE ABOVE 30 YEARS WITH AN UNBIASED SENSE OF REASONING
it used to be. then tecno phone and cheap internet happened. thanks to obasanjo. now the place is littered with miscreants. the forum back in 2007 was an amazing place to hang.

My primary three teacher´s house was better than this house.
Note: my teacher built the house used the house loan gave to him by the government.
He was my teacher in early 80s.

God will punish all of you saying that the man does not need to be celebrated. So what is also the reason MKO Abiola is being celebrated. Even if the flag is a simple one, at least it is what is being used till date and will be used forever. Some of you are just fools
don't mind them, its not about how complex a flag design can be, it's the weight of the message attach to it that matters.....he was very creative with his mind but our leaders failed us

You are the one being daft, only if you understand the meaning of the colors, you won't be uttering rubbish.
Are talking of the meaning of the colours or the design? What has the meaning of colours added to Nigeria; destruction and terrorism? Abeg let's talk of better issues at and one USELESS flag.

Atleast the guy is supposed to be the oga of anything related to flag, the chairman/expert on flag matters. With something like a department or institute attached to his name

Naija is just a very unserious country.

Some gullible youths here and their very stupid rants. This man won a competition for God sake involving designers across the length and breadth of the country and his design was chosen as the best at that material time when there was little to nothing sophistication in designing... But what I don't really understand is that his case had been brought up several times and I think the government had responded appropriately at some point in time and so I don't understand this latest quest for sympathy or help again.

Go back to all my post you will know better. Quoting Nwankwo or whatever is only what your hateful blocked brain focus attention on bro you lack capacity to live among sane human.

Go and work on your IQ it's currently operating on the lowest ebbs of life.


Yawns...

Nwankwo not nwakwo....you just smart by half.
Fact below
Soon Nigeria will cease to exist, maybe SW his people will compensate for designing trash of a forgotten entity called country
Useless outrage...There is no Outrage.
His condition is a representative of country's flag he designed.
How is green white green cloth a design for heaven's sake? A piece of cloth for that matter?
Tunde Ednut should change his condition since he is more concerned..
Nonsense and stupid flag.

Lol... Nigerians are just unbelievable. Would it have made any difference if the flag was more complex? Are you guys kids? Dudes, even if it's just a plain white cloth, the fact remains that it was his idea. His idea and interpretation of those colours were adopted by the nation. That's a big deal.

He was paid for the design, wasn’t he ?

I wonder what they want. He won his prize back then, he's been 'rehabilitated' a few times, Was on the wwtbam show a few years back and even has a national award. It annoys me this baba keeps popping out every few years asking for assistance. His children are a disgrace for continually exposing this man to ridicule.

Contributors can help him too.

Gov can help him a bit, just because it is like paying for royalty of copyright.


I honestly blame who choose this design out of many. What were the criteria in that decision.



I like the name Nigeria,

But this child's play flag is not matching the name and the people.



It can be simple and still inspiring as some people in this post have noted.

OP, these are pictures taken in 2013.

I remember vividly when this issue was tabled in 2013, GEJ gave him a national award in 2014 and directed that he be placed on monthly salary.

Thanks for this. I don't understand how some Nigerians think. You designed the Nigerian flag and so what. You are showing a picture of an unkempt bathroom by the owner and you want Nigeria to do what about it?.

In my opinion, he deserves nothing more than what he has already gotten.

Re: Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi's House: Where Man Who Designed Nigeria's Flag Lives by streetsoldier1(m): 12:05pm On May 01, 2021
Why have Nigerians decided to be intentionally stupid? so designing a flag means he deserves presidential salary for life. what else has he done with his life. Why cry for mercy and sit there doing nothing, where are his kids, the little influence he had then, why didnt he use that to assist his kids or at least send them out of the country.... those propagating this pity-party are pure fools
