The results for the top Google searches in Nigeria in 2017 has been revealed by Google and it’s safe to say most Nigerians already know what some of these would be without seeing the results.

From Bobrisky to Buhari, to the now late Nollywood actress (sadly) Moji Olaiya, to Evans the kidnapper and much more were the highlights of top searches on Google by Nigerians this year.

A few months back, the President was out of the country for months and there were rumours he could be dead, this was one of the most searched topics on Google. Usual suspects include ASUU strike, JAMB, WAEC, the viral MMM and Big Brother Nigeria.
