Google made this known through a press release, according to the tech giant: "The information is gleaned from data collated by Google based on what Nigerians have been searching for and asking Google this year."
The statement said more
than 40,000 search queries are processed every second on the platform which
translates to more than a billion searches per day and 1.2 trillion searches
per year worldwide.
In addition to showcasing what people, places, and things
were trending around the globe this year, the 2017 Year in Search list also
offers insights into what the top trending news moment for Nigerians was in the
last 12 months, as well as the new music and movies that got their attention.
The most searched person on Google's year-end list was
Moji Olaiya, the sad news of her death two months after giving birth shook the Nigerian
movie industry. Coming in second place was notorious kidnapper, Chukwudumeme
Onwuamadike - popularly known as Evans. Adesua Etomi was third on the list,
