What design are you people talking about self? Simple green white green somebody will not hear word again. What about the welfare of our security officers whose lives are always exposed to all kinds of threats? Let's forget this matter please.

The background is showing he is not doing to well these days. .. As the other Nigerians who deserve honour, he had been forgotten!

See talk. Was he not paid for his services back then?? so because he designed the flag we should all be contributing money every year to pay him.

Right from my primary years,..I kept wondering,anytime ds name is mentioned in social studies classes,wots so special abt 'designing' gree white and green. Any kindergaten kid can com up wit any combination,say blue,yello and blue. Still beats my imagination wots so special abt designin green white green. I'd rather celebrate ppl like carl benz and Henry ford dat designed the earliest autos
at least you have family who were alive then. They could have done a better job but perhaps they were.......

He was paid for designing the flag.
He had a long career and should have saved for old age.

Truth be told, the nation really doesn't owe him anything special, and some of us are tired of this endless, childish attempts to guilt-trip Nigerians.

Why does designing a flag carry more weight than some of our parents who taught in primary and secondary schools for years, those who remain crippled from injuries fighting Nigeria's wars or those who dedicate themselves to helping the needy?

OP, please desist!
I'm sure he didn't complain to you about being neglected.



And I'm sure he didn't tell you he's lacking anything.

GEJ rewarded him with National Honour, an appointment as adviser for FG for life and a house in Abuja in 2014, If Buhari still maintain this, become his problem .
