especially the ones that celebrate an event such as a
country’s independence day, are always anticipated and revered. Since
2010, Google has been creating illustrative artwork that feature the
colours, cultures, flags or fabrics of Nigeria.
Last year, to
mark the Nigeria’s 54th Independence Anniversary Day celebration, Google
had a .GIF doodle that features the three most popular means of
transport for daily commuters in Lagos, the country’s commercial capital
— the motorcycle, popularly referred to as okada, the mini-bus,
popularly known as danfo, and the tricycle, widely known as keke marwa.
The
passengers in these vehicles also appear to represent the three major
tribes — Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba — respectively, dressed in their native
attires and carrying the Nigerian flag, grining and waving as they ride
on.
Nigeria gained independence on the 1st of October, 1960. This
is the third doodle for Nigeria’s Independence Anniversary to be
created by Google since October 2010. in 2013, Google featured the
colours of the Nigerian flag, green and white, with a touch of different
shades of green and grey patterned like a Nigerian (native) fabric
popularly sewn and worn by the Hausas. in 2015, Above is the picture of what Google used to celebrate Nigeria's 55 years of Independence
