Actress Moyo Lawal, artiste, Oladipupo Oladimeji aka Oladips, and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi top the list of Google’s 2023 Year in Search for Nigeria.

Others on the list include Hilda Balci, Mudryk, Mr Ibu, Simon Ekpa, Sam Larry, Anita Brown, and Esther Raphael.

In the recently released annual analysis by the search engine, Nigerians showed more interest in local politics and lifestyle.

It is not, however, surprising that these personalities topped the list.

For actress, Moyo Lawal, she went viral when her sex tape surfaced online while rapper, Oladips also shaped the Nigerian entertainment scene in 2023, allegedly ‘rising from the dead.’

Peter Obi was, meanwhile, at the forefront of the 2023 electioneering process with his ‘Obidient Movement’ turning out to be a national phenomenon.

In the same vein, the late Yoruba actor, Murphy Alabi, actor and film producer Saint Obi, and singer, Mohbad, were the most searched death cases this year.

Notably rising to the top of the 2023 top trending musicians category is Asake, who is closely followed by rapper Shallipopi and singer Khaid.

Asake’s song “Lonely at the top” is also currently at the top of the trending song search list.

The searches for “Gangs of Lagos,” “Shanty Town,” and “Soso lyrics,” which ranked first in the categories for movies, video series, and songs, respectively, indicate that Nigerians were clearly engaged in entertainment this year.

Some of the most popular queries in 2023 included “What is fuel subsidy?”, “Who is the winner of the 2023 presidential election?” and “Who is the governor of Kano state?”. These queries demonstrated Nigerians’ concern for the political and economic situation of their nation and how Google Search was utilized to find out more about their interests.

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara on Monday announced a plan by his administration to set up a panel to probe previous governments including the immediate past administration of Nyesom Wike.

Governor Fubara who has been in a face-off with Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, disclosed the plan after swearing in Dagogo Iboroma as the Attorney General of the state.

The governor expressed pessimism that the lingering political crisis currently rocking the state cannot be resolved anytime soon.

Apparently referring to Wike, the governor accused his opponents of deliberately sabotaging his administration while he was hopeful that the issue in the state would be resolved amicably.

Governor Fubara vowed to make tough decisions moving forward no matter how they would be perceived by the public.

Fubara also responded to recent comments by former Attorney General Zacchaeus Adangor, SAN, and his counterpart in the Ministry of Works Alabo George-Kelly.

According to the governor, the former attorney general alongside other critics of his administration have been sabotaging the progress of his government by filing nolle prosequi against the interest of the state.
