Nigeria Independence: Google's Doodle Sparks Controversy

The doodle which went live promptly by midnight on October 1st, has since drawn strong reactions from the Nigerians for which it was designed.

Some of the more important features of the Doodle are:

1. The three vehicles: the danfo bus colored in recognized color for Lagos commercial vehicles, the tricycle (or, in local parlance, the 'keke marwa' or 'keke napep') and the motorcycle.

2. The tribes represented. While it is not sharply done, the three major tribes in Nigeria - igbo, Hausa and Yoruba - are represented in the Doodle.

3. And finally, the the flag: As someone on Twitter said, "the doodle, to me, says: even though we are different tribes in different vehicles, we are waving one flag."

Depending on the side of the social media fence you're on, you either absolutely love or despise this Doodle.

We took the liberty to sample several Twitter reactions, and have served them below:
