Please, I beg all Igbos to warn Chief Ndubuisi Nzenweofor that if he loves his life, truly loves his life, he must never attempt to travel to Germany. Please I beg all of you who loves this man. that he should not even contemplate the idea.

I won't state why but your guess is as good as mine. A word, or the 2 paragraphs here is enough for the wise.

What will you say about Japan's flag, a white background and a red dot.
That red dot is not just a dot but the sun
The sun plays an important role in Japanese mythology and religion as the Emperor is said to be the direct descendant of the sun goddess

Good this Man was honoured but this flag has outlived it's use. Designed when agriculture was the main stay of Nigeria economy. I have a new design now that crude oil is the main stay. Black Red white. Black for the crude oil, red for the blood of those killed and would still be killed for the crude then white for the cattle of the Fulani herdsmen. Hope I too will be honoured someday for this flag. grin grin

Taiwo Akinkunmi: Designer of Nigeria’s flag honoured in Abuja, placed on N500k monthly salary for life

Pa. Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi OFR, the designer of Nigeria's national flag, commonly called "Mr. Flag Man" was on Saturday honoured in Abuja for his contribution to Nigeria.

The elder statesman, who clocked 83 last May, was also placed on N500k monthly stipend for life by the Nzenweofor Group at the just concluded maiden edition of the LACLIC GOLDEN HEROES AWARD held at the Ladi Kwali Hall, Sheraton Hotel Abuja.

Speaking during the well-attended event, Chief Ndubuisi Nzenweofor, the CEO of the Nzenweofor Group, said the award was put together to honour Nigerians who have laboured to put the country on the world map.

“Just like we sing in the first stanza of our National Anthem that the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain, this is one of the ways to ensure that the sacrifices they made for this country are not in vain.

“Pa. Akinkunmi is a perfect example of one of the heroes and this is one of the ways to honour them. We have so many of them around the country, dead and alive and we must honour them in their graves,” he said.

[url]WWW.IDOMAVOICE.COM[/url] gathered that the Nzenweofor Group had paid two months salary upfront for Pa. Akinkunmi’s upkeep.

The also decried the fact that no street in Abuja has been named after the national hero.

Just last week, the Nzenweofor Group also donated 500 bags of rice and N3m cash to wives of late military personnel, under the umbrella of Military Widows Association (MIWA).

Mrs. Veronica Aloko, who is the National President of the group, confirmed receipt of the items.

The event was witnessed by top politicians, entertainers and many Nigerians including minister designate and former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, Dame Pauline Tallen, Alh Danladi Pasali, the National Coordinator Buhari Campaign Organization.

Others were Nollywood stars, Ramsey Noah, Zack Orji, Ejike Asiegbu, Segun Arinze, Francis Ordega and host of others.

Here are pictures from the event.

Hope he won't have issues accessing the money. Because Nigeria has their own factors. Thereby leading the man to an early grave after raising his hopes.

The original flag is interesting. What does the red sun signify? What is the story behind it and why was it removed


Eons ago, I observed that Countries that have the color Red on their flags Majorly secured Independence most through violent struggle.

This doesn't not mean ALL countries with Red fought violently for their Independence o. It just means a vast majority of them with red did. Just my observation.

I Could well be wrong though.

Whilst I don't mean any disrespect for the man, we need to stop being sentimental about such things in this country. Okay so he designed a very simple three rectangular, 2 colour flag for Nigeria. And so what really? Its not like he invented a rocket or split atoms or some other type achievement that benefited humanity.

To be honest to ourselves, there is nothing significant or monumental about that flag design.
