| BATHROOM/TOILET |
Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi (MON) is presumably a household name in Nigeria
being the great intellectual who designed the Nigerian flag at the age of 25
while he studied in London.
His flag design was accepted amongst other designs, for its
ingenuity and depth. This undeniably shot Pa Akinkunmi into limelight and
enlisted him amongst Nigeria’s heroes and icons.
Now, Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi, a man whose ingenious work of
creativity we still enjoy each time we gaze at the Nigerian flag, coupled with
Parkinson’s disease, lives in an un-befitting state in his Ibadan residence.
A group of young, impact- oriented minds under the cover of
GNext Youth Organization have taken it upon themselves to give this great
icon’s home a complete makeover.

The GNext Youths, through the home makeover would renovate
his living room and bedroom. Electrical appliances windows, window frames and
furniture will be replaced and also to give the home a beautiful ambiance,
flowers will be planted round the house as well as repaint of the fence.
Renovations are to commence 8th of May and last
till 10th of May 2013 when it would be declared open by the First
Lady of Oyo State in a ceremony that would equally mark his birthday.
Stating in an official release by one of the co-founders of
Gnext youth club Olufemi Olumide said -“We intend to have a three day Makeover
for Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi from 8th-10th of May we would do this by harnessing from
our large network, of youth volunteers from institutions, organizations,
churches and corporate organisations to lend helping hands with the renovation,
theme (Interior designs) his Living room, and bedroom”. Speaking further he added, ”we intend to
