Photos: GEJ honors Nigerian flag designer, puts him on lifetime salary

The man who designed the Nigeria flag, Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi was decorated as an Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic, OFR, by President Jonathan today September 29th, 55 years after designing the flag.

He wasn't only given an award today, president Jonathan also said he will be placed on a lifetime salary that must be in line with what any Senior Special Advisers earns. 

No other government before this government found Pa Akinkunmi worthy of a national award or a lifetime salary. So happy for him.

For the first time, I can actually commend Jonathan for something.

I'm not one to use vulgar language on this blog... But aren't you hypocrites appreciative of the fact that a prayer was answered by God through a worthy human being? You hypocrites haven't done anything for anybody in a while to make your stupid ass selves feel good... I don't know why I'm wasting my strength typing on the crappy comments confusionist make here... You see someone do good, u complain, you see bad, you complain... Can u please for once keep your shitty negative tots to yourself and allow the readers on this blog believe the world is getting better?... Sheesh... Congratulations to the man who designed the flag... Even is it's made of just 2 colors...lol... Kudos GEJ... For this historius move.

Alex said...

The 1st commenter is just too myopic and invertedly smart in his comment, do you know if he has done anything for the anthem commposer, do u know the many other things he has done/??? someone like u to b insulting your father like that.... nor worry God will answer ur prayer ans PUNISH YOU!!!

The Nigerian flag is one of the UGLIEST flags in the world. Has anybody ever felt any pride seeing the nigerian flag ? Hardly anybody.

We need to change that flag.

Most sensible recognition given when its almost becoming belated. What a country where a cook is recognised for an award cos he is close to Aso Rock and criminals are celebrated cos they are of the ruling party yet the deserving national heroes are neglected.

Nice one MR PRESIDENT. Pa A. deserves it. Sure his last days will be as a fulfilled father. I just pray he won't be swindled by either family or relatives or even the public given that he is quite elderly now.

@dee and all other unreasonable people like you, has GEJ always been the president why didn't the past presidents remember him in their time? Why are u trying to condemn a very kind gesture, it's better late than never, by the grace of God he will live and not die anytime soon like some of u are assuming, and note God time is d best. God bless GEJ for God has used u to remember this man and God will direct u to lead our country Nigeria ijn. God will put to shame all of u trying to ruin GEJ regime.

Anonymous said...

As far as this is comendable, GEJ should think of the millions of our graduants who are living on nothing. Especially those who av served d country in difficult territories. Why is it difficult for those looters in d house of rep nd senate to aprove d payment of social security benefit to d unemployed?
