Today 1 October, Google Doodle celebrate Nigeria Independence Day, as the country observe her 60th anniversary this year 2020!
Today’s Doodle celebrates Nigeria’s Independence Day, which is observing its 60th anniversary this year! On this day in 1960, Africa’s most populous nation declared its independence from British colonial rule. The momentous occasion signified the sovereignty and unity of Nigeria’s 36 states and was marked with fireworks, dancing, and a state banquet. Over the years, Independence Day has been an opportunity for Nigerians to showcase their rich and varied culture, from suya (spicy meat skewer) and jollof rice (one-pot tomato rice) to juju music and afrobeats.
The artwork in today’s Doodle is a nod to Nigeria’s coat of arms— specifically the eagle which represents strength. The primary colors of the Doodle are the same as Nigeria’s national colors: green signifying the country’s agricultural wealth and white a marker for unity and peace.
This day in history
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria!
