      Kemi Adeosun, Osun Elections Top the List of Most-Searched Words by Nigerians on Google this Month

      Google, being the world’s biggest search engine, is just an essential tool in figuring out what Nigerians are interested in and curious about at any given point in time, after all, we frequently say “Google it”.

      So to bring you up with the major moments and top trends based on searches conducted by Nigerians. Here are the most-searched items by Nigerians on Google for the month of September.

      European Football Leagues Continue

      From the English Premier League and the Spanish La Liga to the Uefa Champions/Europa Leagues and other major leagues, Nigerians continued to go online to get the latest gist on their favourite clubs and matches and of course, to keep them informed about the football world.

      It is not really surprising that European football matches soared throughout the month, especially when you consider the huge fan base of European football in Nigeria as well as the keen followers of sports betting. Nigerians are still just as into football

      Nigeria vs Liberia

      Nigeria’s friendly football match against Liberia at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia was one of the top searches in Nigeria for September. It seemed like every other normal match, right? Yeah, except that the match was billed to celebrate Liberian president George Weah who is also a former footballer.

      Weah formally rested his No. 14 jersey from the national team, which is why Nigerians were very curious online to check the African football legend on the field again. The match ended 2-1 in favour of the Nigerian Super Eagles.

      Mac Miller’s Death

      The 26-year-old hip-hop star, Malcolm McCormick, known as Mac Miller died early this month. The news came as a shock to fans of the popular rapper as hip-hop inclined Nigerians had to be sure for themselves as they searched online to get the details surrounding his death.

      The cause of his death was later announced after results of the laboratory tests were released. It was reported that Miller had gone into cardiac arrest in his home after appearing to suffer a drug overdose.

      Skye Bank

      “Sky Bank is always there, saying yes to your needs”. I guess this won’t be the case anymore as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has revoked the license of Skye Bank Nigeria Plc, disclosing it will now be known as Polaris Bank.

      The reason for this is said to be the inability of the shareholders to recapitalize the bank. Nigerians (most especially its customers, I guess) who woke to hear the viral news, quickly turned to Google to find out what happened and what becomes of their money and jobs –which CBN has said is safe.

      Osun Elections

From the normal election frenzy and proposed rerun to the final results, not forgetting popular pop artiste, Davido’s involvement,  Nigerians wanted to be in know as concerns the southwestern state’s elections.
