Lol... Nigerians are just unbelievable. Would it have made any difference if the flag was more complex? Are you guys kids? Dudes, even if it's just a plain white cloth, the fact remains that it was his idea. His idea and interpretation of those colours were adopted by the nation. That's a big deal.

SmartProf:

Not entirely useless considering he is associated with contributing to what represents a nation's identity, so sentimentally he should be taken care of. I only wonder what's so special in designing plain green white green? Those who create designs today are just paid for any job done, and that's it.
pls HV you seen south Korea flag

I make no apologies, but this man's design of a plain green white green lacks any kind of artistry, very tasteless and bland. Smaller African and European countries have better minimalistic designs reflecting indept culture and history of their people.

I shudder to think how he came out tops in the so called competition. Who presided over the board that decided him the winner? The individual must be blind.
I am a graphic designer
Simple designs are always best
It's very nice to brand things with a simple design

Besides you expect the culture of about 200.ethnicities represented on a flag?

FBIBOT:


People are just unbelievable... Like its only Nigeria that uses just plain colors for flag design... I guess France, Italy, Germany, and host of others are also useless design.... Hypocrite.. Transferring aggression on someone who has no hand in the predicament facing Nigeria
exactly bro
they are just unnecessary angry
there are many shades of green there are many sequences
the flag is beautiful


imagine someone up there said that the confused gold,black and red of a Biafran flag is more beautiful

The country too is ungoing massive rot. You can blame all of us for his condition. The closest I ever get to benefit from this country was the one year of NYSC. Aside that nothing

Him own still better....
At least he still uses tissue paper to tamba and uses harpic to wash his toilet grin.....

If you're a good graphics designer you will find a way to capture the diversity of the country with a decent colour pallette while maintaining the subtlety.
That's what will distinguish a pro from an amateur and one shouldn't not expect less from a piece of work that supposedly won a national competition.

This shows that Nigerians are not patriotic. Why can't those in power ensure the man lives a good life? And to seeing people saying he did nothing special shows the wicked mindset of some Nigerians, very wicked things. Its all about tribalism and nepotism. If the government can't make the man happy, you guys should not expect the government to make anyone happy. Yet they can reward social misfits with good benefits. So much injustice in the land and wickedness everywhere. Smh.

be like the other entries were just white colour and another green.
then he merged them and won.
the man is an icon and should be taken care of.
doesn't he have kids atleast that should have kept his home presentable at least?

There is no special design in green white and green.

Below flag is sweeter and a better design.

I thought he was placed on 500k per month salary for life?


It was never executed....or one top Oga refused to pay him.

Most Nigerians are dumb. What type of design went into a plain flag which is mere green/white/green?

Nothing entirely wrong with where he lives. Many Nigerians live in worse conditions. Looks like a private property and the only thing lacking is maintenance.

Is Nigeria to pay him royalties or what?

Useless outrage...There is no Outrage.

His condition is a representative of country's flag he designed.

How is green white green cloth a design for heaven's sake? A piece of cloth for that matter?


Tunde Ednut should change his condition since he is more concerned..

Nonsense and stupid flag.
OMG! You just spoke my mind. I see no design in the flag. Horrible-looking piece. No be today Nigeria's problems start, even the flag no look good

Re: Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi's House: Where Man Who Designed Nigeria's Flag Lives by OBTMOS(m): 8:25am On May 01, 2021
This house was or could be one of the best in his time.
Was he not paid for the job he did then? What else do you want the govt to do for him? His well-being is now in the hands of his children which he ought to have trained from the proceeds made when he designed the flag. The govt have nothing to do with how he lives his life, I don’t fault the govt on this one.

Actually, I learnt the British modified his initial design to the bland green white green.
Biafra flag inspires every Igbo man and woman, if not for certain reasons emanating from threat of FG brutality, every Igbo home will be flying the Biafra Rising Sun flag
