REVEALED: The Man Who Designed Nigeria Flag Is The Poorest Man In Nigeria Right Now? (See Photos)
Posted by E.L.E.X on May 01 2021 under News
Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi OFR (born 10 May 1936) is a retired Nigerian civil servant. He is famous for designing Nigeria’s national flag, and he is commonly called “Mr. Flag Man”.
Akinkunmi was born in Ibadan, of Yoruba origin, the older of a set of twins. He lived with his father until age 8 before he relocated to the Northern part of Nigeria. He began his early education in the North.
After his father’s retirement, he came down to the West and was re-enrolled at Baptist Day School, Idi-Ikan in Ibadan. He finished from Baptist Day School Idi-kan in 1949 and proceeded to Ibadan Grammar School (IGS) in 1950 where he enjoyed a very good education.
He left IGS in 1955 and took an appointment as an agriculturist at the Western Region Secretariat in Ibadan as a civil servant. He would then work some years before gaining admission to the Norwood Technical College in London where he studied electrical engineering. While studying there, he designed the Nigerian Flag. He returned to Nigeria in 1963 and went back to the agricultural department at the secretariat in Ibadan to continue where he stopped.
He worked as a civil servant until 1994 and retired as Assistant Superintendent of Agriculture.
He was honoured with Officer of the order of Federal Republic (OFR) and honorary life presidential adviser on 29 September 2014 at the conference centre Abuja.
However, Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi is presently suffering. So dead broke, sick and frustrated and the government is not doing anything about it. Meanwhile some people are in Abuja disbursing money among themselves.
Below photo is where he live.
Indeed the labour of our heros past, is in vain. Nigeria doesn’t worth dying for. So sad.
