“In what can best be described as a holiday by association, Nigerians on the internet took to sending good wishes to friends and families on social media and wishing them a happy thanksgiving.
“It is a rather innovative way to mark the Federal holiday, which is celebrated on the last Thursday of November in the U.S. and Canada.
“It comes with a significant chowing down of stuffed turkey and some tasty foods.”
The Google manager asked if one could say thank God its Black Friday?
