Many websites have specific versions for specific regions and they tailor their content for that specific region.


This doodle appears on Google.com.ng, that is, Google Nigeria. There's also specific content that's tailor made for Spain on Google.es. How does that mean that they are fooling us??


Does the fact that we have BBC Pidgin or BBC Africa mean that the BBC is fooling us or does the fact that there's an MTV Europe mean that MTV is fooling Europeans?

Funfact. That doodle only shows in Africa...if possible Nigeria. I don't know about other countries but in Yankee E no dey show. Na another thing dey show. Google just dey make una happy . The day I knew this fact na that day I realise say them dey use us catch Cruise

We don't need their validation to accept that sir Oliver is a legend. Before Google we celebrated him our way. If they want to celebrate him let it be known worldwide. For one thing I was fooled until I saw a similar thread honouring someone only to open Google with my friends to see Abe Lincoln or one person like that. Due to where I was. It pained my soul. My own is if they want to honor anyone it should be worldwide. For others to know who the person is. For we know our heroes. And they don't.

But then again our arguments here will as usual have no effect on their decisions. Just an eye opener. Good morning

And why will you want it shown in America, Australia or Brazil. If a Russian composer or a Japanese folk singer is shown here will that mean anything to you.

You folks are just too dull, just full of degenerative sentiment.

When we see South African adverts on DSTV it annoys us. You then want Nigerian adverts in America...?

Of course we don't need their validation, but that doesn't mean that they cannot celebrate him.

Think about this, you said that you saw a Google doole celebrating a Nigerian, then you opened Google and saw Abraham Lincoln. That means that the Abraham Lincoln doodle was also not shown worldwide because it was not shown here.

Google is a global company and some of their workers and customers are Nigerian and there's absolutely nothing wrong if they celebrate a Nigerian.

Many of their doodles are not global because tastes and interests differ. For example, you might not see a Google doodle celebrating Easter in Saudi Arabia or Israel. Events clash and while a doodle might be celebrating something in one part of the world, there might be another doodle celebrating something else in another part of the world. That's the way of the world.

Right now there might be a doodle in another country celebrating a music star from that country, but in Nigeria the doodle is celebrating Oliver De Coque.

That doesn't mean that they are trying to fool us.

I listened to shortwave radio in the 1980s and I discovered that what was being broadcast on BBC Americas was different from what was on BBC South Asia and that was different from what was on BBC Africa and so on and so forth.
