Recent Photo Of Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, The Man Who Designed The Nigerian Flag by dainformant(m): 8:13pm On Dec 08, 2016 |
Here's a recent picture of the famous man who designed Nigeria’s flag, Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, and his children. The icon is still alive but his present living condition is that of a forgotten hero. In October 1959, a year before Nigeria gained independence, He designed the flag and was paid – 100 pounds, equal to $281 in 1959. Now at his old age, the living legend now lives in one of the poorest areas of Ibadan. His house painted in colours of Nigerian flag is a distinctive feature in the area and it can only be reached by foot.

In order to be honored in Nigeria.. you have to have 1: caused the deaths of thousands by stealing the wealth meant for them 2: awarded your cronies national honors (twice) 3: being on committees of projects like Ajaokuta 4: Former Governors who pride themselves in planting shrubs on roads built decades before their tenure add yours 22 Likes 5 Shares |

Nice to see baba looking cool. Trues heroes don't survive in Nigeria, they're forgotten as quick as possible while corrupt politicians are conferred all sort of flowery honours and privileges Truth be told Nigeria is becoming a very useless country, a country that cares not for his heroes, how can a sport minister tell the world he didn't expect his sportsmen to win trophies, the empty head of the red beret wearing idiot should be smashed with the trophy. I stand with Igbos on the division of this dying, frustrating geographical space called Nigeria. 4 Likes |

Kathmandu:Seriously? Nigeria flag looks ugly? Did he force it down on anyone's throat? The FG willingly accepted it Secondly, there's a lot of difference between me and that man. He's a national hero and a senior citizen...these set of people are well respected even in that same American you've just mentioned. I'm not a national hero yet, and I'm no where close to being a senior citizen so you see the difference? It's 7up! Thirdly, there's nothing like self pity here. Maybe you should check how other countries of the world treats their heroes then compare it with the life that man is living right now. 32 Likes 5 Shares |

ammyluv2002: Firstly Nigeria flag is damn ugly and there is no two ways about it Secondly If you don't see yourself as a hero in Nigeria then you still have a long way to go to understand that this government made you a hero by giving you the power of being a government on your own by providing every amenities they failed to provide for you. Thirdly I've just checked how other citizens treat their heroes and i found out they some people they termed heroes while in Nigeria we have 180million heroes.

Nonsense. Wasn't he paid by the Nigerian govt? Should he Remain on our payroll cos he designed the flag? Dude probably wasted his money on more wives, concubines, alcohol and parties. I mean, what did he do with the money? 9 Likes 2 Shares |
