Nigeria At 62
Search engine giant, Google on October 1, celebrated Nigeria’s 62nd Independence Day anniversary on its website with a special doodle depicting the national colours of Green and White.
Newsbreak.ng reports that a click on the doodle shows Nigeria’s flag in the air.
Explaining the design, Google stated: “On this day in 1960, Africa’s most populous country, with over 200 million inhabitants, became a sovereign republic, an anniversary commemorated as Nigeria’s Independence Day.
“In the Nigerian Coat of Arms, a red Eagle spreads its wings above a wreath of green and white — the national colours also featured in the doodle artwork representing fertility and peace, respectively.
“Below these symbols, the Nigerian motto serves as the foundation for the coat of arms: ‘Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress.”
Google doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google’s homepage intended to commemorate holidays, events, achievements, and notable historical figures.
It has also been used to celebrate many historical figures and events around the world.
