Full List: iPhone 17, Achalugo, other things Nigerians search for the most in Google 2025

Google has released its 2025 Year in Search report, highlighting the events, personalities, entertainment, and cultural moments that captured the curiosity of Nigerians throughout the year.

Published on Thursday, the data reflects how Nigerians used Google to follow political developments, honor national icons, decode viral slang, and explore emerging food, lifestyle, and entertainment trends.

Political searches were especially prominent. Senator Natasha Akpoti topped the list of most-searched Nigerian personalities, reflecting heightened public engagement. Globally, Nigerians showed significant interest in the Israel–Iran conflict and the U.S. elections. Searches also spiked following the deaths of notable figures, including former President Muhammadu Buhari, Super Eagles legend Peter Rufai, and Pope Francis.

Entertainment, music, and culture were also major drivers of searches. Nigerian music dominated, with “Oluwatosin (Jesus Is Enough)” by Tkeyz ft Steve Hills leading the list of most-searched songs, followed by Fido’s “Joy Is Coming” and Davido & Omah Lay’s “With You”. Local film and series captured attention, with Kemi Adetiba recognized among the most-searched personalities thanks to the success of To Kill a Monkey, Nigeria’s top trending series in 2025.

Viral slang and cultural trends were equally popular. Questions like “What is Labubu?” and searches for the meaning of “Achalugo” surged as Nigerians tried to decode viral social media phenomena. Food searches reflected a mix of local and international flavors, from chinchin and sausage rolls to Ginger Shots, Pornstar Martini, hummus, and lasagna.

Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, Communications & Public Affairs Manager for West Africa at Google, described the report as “more than just data; it’s a vibrant, unfiltered mirror of our collective attention… showing how Nigerians use Search to actively engage with the world around them.”

The full 2025 Year in Search list for Nigeria is available on the Google Trends portal. Below is a detailed breakdown of the top searches across categories:
