Folks can you help list at least 10 Nigerians search most on the net. Many thanks for responding.

Phones and laptops if u are talking about wat they search to buy

tnxs. I mean information they search for. Not necessarily what they buy. Like; how to register a business, how to make money, etc (stuffs like that)

@Lagerwhenindoubt,

Are you for real?

@poster,

The truth about what Nigerians search for the most online are;

1. Jobs/Vacancies

2. Income making opportunities

3. News

4. Laptops, Mobile phones and other tech gadgets

5. Apartments and Rent

tanx for the list @Lagblogger. No mind the fun guy (though actually porn is one of the most highly searched stuff by Nigerians and even in many other parts of the world).

Online job opportunities
Money making methods
How to get overseas scholarship
How to relocate abroad
Where to get cheap Laptop and Phone accessories , etc,etc

.

Hi Google

have an excellent free tool that shows the most common searches by country - you should play around with it

Here's a link for the results for Nigeria:
http://www.google.com/insights/search/#geo=NG&date=today%2012-m&cmpt=geo

As you can see the highest number of searches over the last 12 months were:

Top searches
1. nigeria
2. facebook
3. news
4. yahoo
5. yahoomail
6. www.facebook.com
7. google
8. facebook.com
9. www.yahoomail.com
10. love

The fastest rising searches in Nigeria

Fastest growing searches:
1. 2go Breakout
2. facebooklogin +1,650%
3. ipad +250%
4. epl +130%
5. twitter +130%
6. nnpc +110%
7. blackberry +80%
8. inec +50%
9. operamini +50%
10. real madrid +50%

The tool is pretty basic so if you need more detailed numbers I have access to some other tools at work that I can use give you a much longer and detailed list of what Nigerians search for. If you have particular categories you are interested in, i.e. "which alcoholic beverages are most searched for" or "which magazines are Nigerians searching for" please let me know and I can run this for you and give you the numbers.

All the best with your project

tanxs @ techbabe. Your information is insightful. How can you help me with the detailed research. It's needed for an online business magazine and weblog that will concentrate on providing rich c and useful content for various users. So basically you can see we need to know what things Nigerians search for most online (business wise).

@Bestluck thanks very much for your answer. It was close to the kind of information we were hoping to get.

More ideas are welcome, folks

Thank u

The most search keywords online is how to Make Money ONLINE

@benz33 Tnxs

job opportunities

Job opportunities and Money making opportunities

It will be difficult to know what people search for, perhaps google analytics will be a way to find out. perhaps conducting research through some of the top search site in nigeria like www.veconnect.com or www.whereyoudey.com which have focused search from web users in nigeria would be another approach. those are business listings sites.

Also some blogs like tekloy and whiteafrican may have this info,

my list would be

Scholarships abroad
green card lottery
Ipad
blackberry
used cars in U.S

1. Mugu
2. Maga
3. Maye

As you can see from Techbabes post, job vacancies don't rank in the top five (unless "Yahoo" is short for Yahoo Yahoo  )
