Happy 77th Birthday To Taiwo Akinkunmi[nigeria's Flag Designer] by Oluwajemberun(m): 9:10am On May 10, 2013 |
It's was a happy new day for the nigerian man who designed the green white green flag for our wonderful country because today is his 77th birthday. So send your greeting to wish him long life. Life history The designer of the national flag was a student, Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi. He hailed from Owu in Abeokuta, Ogun State was a student of Norwich Technical College, England when he saw the advertisement in the national daily that entries were being accepted for the design of a new National Flag. Akinkunmi quickly prepared his entry and sent it to Lagos where it was eventually picked in 1958 as the best and the flag was used to celebrate an independent Nigeria on October 1, 1960; when the Union Flag (Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) was lowered for the Nigeria Flag to take its place on the flagpole. Akinkunmi has received numerous awards from both individuals and organisations, and presently lives in Ibadan.
