Old PA Micheal Taiwo Akinkunmi a.k.a Mr flag man, is know as the man who designed the Nigerian Flag in the year 1959 and was first hoisted in October 1st 1960. Taiwo Akinkunmi who was a student at Norwood Technical College in London where he studied electrical engineering, emerged winner of the National flag design contest, organized by the College. PA Taiwo who was never honoured for designing 'The Nigerian Flag', has been living in a very bad condition all these years. Many people even referred to him as 'Hero without Honour', until when President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (Nigeria's President) , conferred 313 people with national honours on Monday September 29th Designer of Nigeria flag Taiwo Akinkunmi, was among the people conferred with the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic. In addition to this, President GEJ, directed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, to place Pa Akinkunmi on life salary. Speaking to news crew, PA Taiwo Akinkunmi who was represented by his son Akinwunmi Akinkunmi said: “Baba is very happy. We thank President Jonathan for this gesture. We are indeed appreciative of this because you all know that Baba has been neglected in the past. I am sure that this honour will spur Nigerians to continue to contribute to the development of the country,’’ Meanwhile, the Original design of the flag is to have a Red Sun embedded in the white background displaying steaming rays but was remove to give way for the GREEN -WHITE-GREEN we have today. 13 Likes 3 Shares

The flag with the sun is better to me..adds that pop of colour and it made sense. I remember seeing the akinkumi guy on "who wants to be a millionaire" show,but the episode was tagged "who deserves to be a millionaire",he came on the show with two celebrities who helped him play,he needed the money cos he "was" broke. Its quite sad. ozoigbondu:if the old one is childish,what would u say of the american flag with all the stars and stripes of colour? 11 Likes |

With that red stars. It would have been difficult for nursery and primary school students to draw when given 'drawing the flag of Nigeria' as an assignment. Kudos to whoever suggested removing it 10 Likes |

Current Flag is better, and a unique flag. We just need someone that will promote us positively on the international frontiers and replace the current national embarrassment of a government. .................................................................................................................................................................................. #Sai Buhari #GMB/PYO #Call10bring5 VOTE APC Web http://call10bring5.com/ https://www.facebook.com/call10bring5 https://twitter.com/Call10Bring5 12 Likes 2 Shares
