Tug of search between the dead and the living prominent Nigerians

Like other countries, Nigeria has people who have made and still making significant contributions to the development of the country, Africa continent and world in general. To know how people around the world are searching for prominent Nigerians, a simple analysis was conducted using the dead and the living prominent Nigerians.

Wizkid, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Wole Soyinka, Muhammadu Buhari, Hakeem Olajuwon, Chinua Achebe, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Fela Kuti, Davido, Obafemi Awolowo, Agbani Darego, Herbert Macaulay, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Sanni Abacha, Ice Price, Sade Adu, Aliko Dangote, Olusegun Obasanjo, Dora Akunyili, Goodluck Jonathan, Philip Emeagwali, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,  D Banj, Don Jazzy, Ahmadu Bello, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, 2face Idibia, Tiwa Savage, Hakeem Kae-Kazim and Genevieve Nnaji are the people analysed.

The result is quite surprising. There are vertical and horizontal connections among the personalities’ search. By Horizontal, some of the prominent people are connected within their industries or professional fields. Vertically, some personalities were searched in relation with others outside their industries or professional fields. Analysis also reveals that some personalities gained high search interest than others.
