Google Celebrating Nigeria at 55



Exactly 55 years ago, Nigeria got her independence from colonial rule, and Google joined Nigeria in the celebration with a beautiful Doodle.
The Doodle is a creative rendition of the Nigerian coat of arms. In it, a “green white green” eagle is seen flying over the major Nigerian confluence – the point where rivers Niger and Benue both meet.
According to the Google Africa team, “We have Doodler Robinson Wood to thank for such a lovely artistic impression. He also shared early sketches of the Doodle.”
The Google Africa Team, in a congratulatory message via its Twitter handle, also tweeted: “Here’s wishing Africa’s most populous nation a happy 55th Independence day. Keep soaring Nigeria!”
The Google Africa Team also changed the header photo on its Twitter handle to showcase Nigeria’s Africanness with six young women adorned in colourful Nigerian traditional head ties.

Videos and images of dehumanized members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in mud water, some being slapped, caned and bruised mercilessly, have been trending in the social media and they do not paint the Nigerian military and the federal government in glowing colours. The attack on IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s country home and their members by those involved in the python dance is in bad taste and condemnable. In fact, the Army/IPOB clash is indeed avoidable if the military has conformed to rules of engagement and restricted itself to the python dance. It is regrettable that what ought to be a dance, turned bloody and...

In a seemingly furious Snapchat rant, Sophia Momodu just dragged the heck out of Eniola badmus, and this comes as a surprise to many, especially because both women were friends and Eniola is Davido’s bestie. The whole thing started when Sophie went on to Snapchat to contemplate and ask her followers what she would have for dinner. Sophia revealed, that she already eaten some “Dunkin’ Donuts” and she considered having another fancy doughnut from Krispy Kreme that same night. Shorty after posting her “contemplation” on Snapchat, Eniola fired the first shot, and mocked Davido’s Baby mama for going for cheap snacks. “Dunkin’ Donut? What happened to Red Lobster, Olive Garden, even Apple Bees?” “You’re better reckon with Popeyes. Dey still gat wedges for munch. #BobssLadiesPayBillz” Sophia didn’t just sit down there and watch someone just drag her like then, she of course launched an attack on the plus sized actress, and body-shamed her, she also went as far as slut-shaming her. “How you gon...
