The Year 2016 in Google Search has been intense and far-reaching. From elections to excitement to shock and hope, this year’s compilation of top trending searches brings together stories and questions through the eyes of Nigerians on the web.

Sieving out the top searches from the flurry of inquiries on sensational and diverse moments on Google search, are top trending celebrity stories, major events, ‘what is’ and ‘how to’ searches, travel questions and exciting perspectives of the world. The direction of this year’s search reveals that Nigerians are eager to learn about current events not just within the country, but in other parts of the world, as the searches for the year move outside search for songs, actors, movies and sports news.

For instance, going by the top trending searches, it was unveiled that Nigerians went online to search for “What is Budget Padding”. Following the uproar on the allegations which came after the 2016 budget between the Nigerian senate and the Presidency earlier in the year.
Search questions like “what is in Nigeria’s newspaper today?” and “what is bureaucracy,” also indicated that Nigerians were concerned about the state of the country.

Some other top searches on Google for the year were personalities like ‘Stephen Keshi’ and ‘Bukky Ajayi’ who died in the year, Donald Trump, America’s president-elect, his opponent ‘Hillary Clinton’ and Legendary American boxer ‘Muhammad Ali’.

Empowerment and self-improvement, which including seeking directions and finding new ways to do things was some of the top searches for the year. Nigerians were also eager to empower themselves and learn ways to do new things. Some of the questions on the ‘How to’ list was “how to sing better” and “how to take care of pigs”

The Monkey Money Madness! (MMM) Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced that he would buy monkeys for N100 each. The villagers seeing that there were so many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at N100 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. He further announced that he would now buy at N200. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to N250 but the supply of monkeys became so little that it took much effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one. The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at N500! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on his behalf. In the absence of the man, his assistant told the villagers: ''Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that my OGA has bought from you, I will sell them to you at N350 and when my OGA returns from the city, you can sell it to him at N500''. The villagers squeezed out all their HARD EARNED savings and bought all the monkeys. The most greedy ones among them even sold their lands to purchase many MONKEYS, hoping to make a huge profit without labour. Then... They never saw the man or his assistant. Only monkeys everywhere! Welcome to MMM. The world of Monkeys! Be wise.
