Hmmm

well I think, the beauty the flag or otherwise is inconsequential as it stands. Basic fact is; the flag is an accepted national symbol, and someone designed it. The present neglect is symptomatic of a culture of forgetfulness and disregard for our selves and collective heritage. In Nigeria as it stands, you are not neglected because "the flag is not even fine sef". You are, simply because we have lost the sense of value others attach to certain things. After all, the super falcons are the champions of Africa yet, have to protest to get their pays. Funny enough , the minister seems to maintain, they weren't expected to be victorious. Too bad! And for a final addition, the current flag representation was not how akinkunmi had rendered it, it was modified.

I see some people saying this man did trash and that the flag is ugly well I don't blame them is the country not ugly? ,now I know d only thing u can be rewarded for in dis country is great crime,they abandoned dis man and elrufai paid millions for the herdsmen disturbing his people, Jonathan paid billion to Tompolo,Governors dat did nothing are been paid after the whole money dat has been embezzled by them,humm and youths are saying wat has he done,now I think I pity the future of this country, lastly let me has those criticising him dat the flag is ugly, where was their grandfather wen he was designing it?

I hate this sense of entitlement...... Did he do the work for free? Does it mean he had no life? No profession?

Kathmandu:
What makes that man different from you? Stop all these pitying please.



Nigeria flag looks ugly. Couldn't the man take some cue from the British Union Jack or America Stars and Stripes

What's beautiful in the America stars and the British Union Jack? Most of the flags of the countries you mentioned are too colourful, looks childish and unimpressive.
I love Nigeria's flag simplicity and maturity, aside the mere fact that his design was picked among several others already made him an hero.
He doesn't need your confirmation or affirmation.

PrettyCrystal:
hmmm. great hero

Maybe for those who believe in 'one Nigeria'

herzern:
OP.

Tell me where he lives in Ibadan.I wish to pay him a courtesy visit.

I think the man should be bestowed with the National honour thouqh.

TBH,He made a name for himself already,His name can never be forqotten in the history of this Great Nation.

Everything you said made sense at first but you ruin it by calling Nigeria a great nation....mtchew

Nigerians are always celebrating mediocrity. Please what is so special about the Nigerian flag?

A simple design with mudane colours, when other countries have exotic flags.

Abeg make we hear word jor

Hmmm but what's so special about the Nigerian flag? Green white green? Imo tho.

There is no design in Nigeria's flag.

Xposer:

Kathmandu:

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.



Don't shine your teeth beneath me for now

I wont be surprise to see how ugly u look

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.

Seun and Lalasticlala, please I need this man's contact. Thank you

Being objective,he rendered a service for which he was paid for,sentiment aside,i dont see any patriotism here.

Kathmandu:
it seems you don't know the meaning of beautiful check out Ghana South Africa or even Biafra flag.



That man should go down to Oshodi and hustle abeg

i pray u live up to his age and hustle in oshodi. Karma is real.

Back to topic; Nigeria is not worth doing anything for.

even the access road to his place is unbicycle-able. shame of a country

. Nonsense flag he designed. Wat else does he want? Do u know how much dat money worth den? He must have lavished it on Owambe party and is now crying foul. Green, white and Green.... Was d big deal about dat? It is even one of the worst flags I have ever seen.

iSlayer2:
Hahhaha. The man is not creative at alllll see the nonsense flag. Well,he shouldn't be too pained tho',his people are one part of the problem. The other is @boki.

Oh, so he was placed on a lifetime salary by GEJ. That is good. So only GEJ remembered this man. I hope Buhari did not stop this salary o because nothing this Bubu cannot do. Fulani magician.

Bimbo, to you, u av spoken now. It would av been better if you can tell your father to design his own for us to see. He is very much important than ur whole family not only ur pa. Even if he dies. If he dies today, the whole nigeria will know and mourn him including ur pa. But if ur pa dies today, tell me who is interested in him.

So you can Italy france Switzerland and the rest with 3 stripe flags are ugly there is beauty in simplicity and America to tomorrow love what the flag stand for but not the design..... Someone mentioned Union Jack that's the most ugliest flag in the world...that's why each country in the UK has their own flag

zendy:

gbenu werey lo. As far as am concerned u are still a Nigerian. U are still living in Nigeria,
