Arise O Compatriots
Nigeria's call ObeyIt's not every day that Nigerians get to celebrate their independence day and for a special day like October 1, Google chose to place a logo on their home page to wish Nigerian a Happy Independence day celebration.A visit to Google's home page from a Chrome browser or Nigerian IP address brings up a page that has a greenish image at the center made up of a text that reads "Google" and a flying green white green eagle in front of it. Green White Green is the colour of Nigeria's flag and an eagle is part of Nigeria's coat of arms. Another remarkable thing about the image is that a circle replaces an O in the word Google and in it is imprinted what looks like a map of Nigeria with the 2 flowing rivers of Niger and Benue that run into each other to flow downwards to form something like a Y.It's really fascinating how the artist took time to put all these things into consideration. The default image of Google was basically replaced by one that reflects a bit of what we see in Nigeria's coat of arms such the eagle, the shield and the green grasses.It's independence day again and we thank God that we are alive to see this day and that our country is still united despite all the challenges we've had.
