Here's a recent picture of the famous man who designed Nigeria’s flag,
Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, and his children. The icon is still alive but
his present living condition is that of a forgotten hero. In October
1959, a year before Nigeria gained independence, He designed the flag
and was paid – 100 pounds, equal to $281 in 1959.
Now at his old age, the living legend now lives in one of the poorest areas of Ibadan. His house painted in colours of Nigerian flag is a distinctive feature in the area and it can only be reached by foot.
