Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, Communications and Public Relations Manager, Google West Africa, said in a statement that the first half of 2020 had been eventful with high profile deaths, politics, personalities among others.

Mr Kola-Ogunlade said that such trends and searches were as a result of happenings and events of interest that caught people’s attention.

He said the top three trending people in Nigeria in the first half of the year were Peter Obi, Putin and Bianca Ojukwu.

The manager said that Peter Obi is a Nigerian businessman and politician who served as the governor of Anambra from 2006 to 2014.

Mr Kola-Ogunlade said that Mr Obi is currently the Labour Party candidate for President of Nigeria in the 2023 presidential election.

According to him, Vladimir Putin, Russia’s President also grabbed the attention of Nigerians in the first six months of 2022 as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine became topical across the globe.

“Bianca Ojukwu, the widow of late Biafran warlord, Chukuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu also led search interest by Nigerians when she slapped Ebelechukwu, the wife of immediate past governor of Anambra, Chief Willie Obiano.

“A second famous slap comes in at number five on the list of top trending people, after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars in March.

“AFCON 2022 topped the list of most searched moments between January and June, Senegal beat Egypt in the final match of the African Cup of Nation (AFCON) football competition to emerge winner,’’ he said.

According to him, the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has seen the majority of Nigerian students in public tertiary institutions.

The communication manager said that staying out of classes for five months was also a top moment that captured the interest of Nigerians online.

He said that top of the list of notable deaths was the death of popular Nigerian Gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu.

According to him, she was allegedly killed by her husband in a case of domestic violence.

Mr Kola-Ogunlade said that the death of another gospel singer, Chinedu Nwadike, was the second most searched death for Nigerians.

He said the song, Buga, by Kizz Daniel, featuring Tekno was the number one trending song in the period under review.

The communication officer said that blood sisters, a Nigerian series on Netflix starring Nancy Isime and Ini Dima-Okojie topped the list of top trending movies and TV Series by Nigerians from January to June 2022.

Mr Kola-Ogunlade said that Olu Jacobs, the veteran Nollywood actor who recently celebrated his 80th birthday led the list of top trending actors in Nigeria while Raheem Sterling’s journey from Manchester City to Chelsea FC led him to be the number one trending sports personality in Nigeria.

Search trends information is gleaned from data collated by Google based on what Nigerians have been searching for and asking Google.

I am waiting for the campaigns to start to hear Peter Obi plan for Nigeria and how he intend to pursue them.


As much as I dont support Tinubu for Not supporting a more suitable Osibanjo,

I am also against Atiku for contesting when he was aware that it is the turn of the South.

We cant blindly support Obi only because of his much touted Spartan lifestyle

What other thing do you want to hear about Obi, when he has already told you he wants to move Nigeria from consumption to production. Do you want him to tell you that he will water us and fire us?

This is not the way to convince people to vote for peter Obi. Mind you, I am fully obidient but there are some people that are still undecided. The best way is to tell them what Obi has to offer compared to other candidates or better still give him a link to one of Obi's interviews.

Are you 4 real, wow. But I have 1 question 4 both PO&BAT and I'll save it 4 later.

Peter Obi is the only Nigerian politician who speaks and people cry.

You will definitely want to know more about him after watching any of his speeches or interviews.

politicians Dent 4 lifestyle

that's evidence that Pandora Obituary and his pathetic urchins are going to win their election on Twitter, Facebook nd Google in their zoo republic

Cityboy to win in Nigeria election

Man for the season.

Meanwhile, nobody is interested in Tinubu.

The only time we search Tinubu is to get more facts about his drug dealing past.

If you want to know more about Peter Obi, His plans and vision for nigeria, pls go to YouTube and type Peter Obi,u will see all the interviews he has granted to different platforms and channel's,

Obi is The only credible, competent, passionate, energetic,and visionary leader for 2023,

Make use of ur Brain and dump your emotions as far as 2023 presidential election is concerned, Tinubu and Atiku has nothing to offer.

I have said it before. Let me say it again.

Our greatest success on the election day is to vote Obi whatever is the outcome of the result.

We will all celebrate our efforts contributed in changing a very corrupt gang.
