EroticAngelina: mm, they tried. at least we got recognized wink but frankly, I don't want that to be the picture they used there to be in Google.com !!!!! Hellooooo! that's embarrassing! they could have used an art drawing of women/men dressed in the three major tribes of Nigeria attires! that's more presentable! in every celebration these white ppl do for us, they must be a negative part! angry I CNT shout abeg

You don't know your country is embarrassing?

You want the world to hide the embarrassment for you?

Yea. But what is the point if it is only Nigerians that will witness it. Or those using Nigerian IP. During the Sochi Olympics everybody saw the doodle and even the US independence day. But for Nigeria even Togo wouldn't even know if we are celebrating anything smiley.

bushdoc9919:

That's Obasanjo's legacy (Jonathan is busy reviving the railways).

Reviving the railways by buying 2 second-hand, 1960s trains for millions of pounds to be used by the 20 million in Lagos?

You were dumbly blinded by the repainting of the archiac trains?

Vessi:
Yeah enugu's yellow cab is sexy


Yea, but does it really represent Nigeria? What they used looks more creative and significant to Nigeria and d best we can do is appreciate it. I think I like the concept tho. BRT in Lagos and Enugu yellow cab might be more beautiful but it won't do justice to truly representing us.

boladez: I am very unhappy that the world sees us like this. They are better things in Nigeria. These modes of transportation are not only shameful but not sustainable for the 21st century.

The Doodle used by Google is rather ridiculous and derogatory. It does not respect and represent our dear country. I hereby present my choice of DOODLE as the following:

starlike: The fact that Google recognised Nigeria is laudable, but the caricature dose not go down well with me.

https://www.nairaland.com/1927945/why-did-google

The caricature was done by a Nigerian designer in Google Lagos office. Funny, aint it ?
Nigerians, mocking themselves since 1960.

Google definitely have to celebrate Nigeria; we keep them in business ( with questions like 'the new cooker wey Mama Nkechi just buy,abeg how much e cost ; i know say na lie she been dey lie') ...lol grin

I agree that the image may not be as appealing as we would have loved it to be , but lets appreciate what we were given and make an individual pledge to do whatever it will take to ensure that Nigeria gets better and then we can all be sure to get a better representation come october 2015 and please, enough of Yoruba in the marwa or Igbo in the keke, please for once lets address ourselves as Nigerians.
There is beauty in our diversity. God bless Nigeria .
Good people,Great nation would only be a reality if we try to be good people first.
