Vladimir Putin who holds the number two spot in Nigeria as the most searched personality on the internet is due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the recent conquest over the Ukrainian forces.
2022 season of slap
Holding the number three spot is Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of the former Biafran warlord, Chukuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
Mrs Ojukwu became a trending topic in Nigeria for a very controversial reason after a little brawl ensued between herself and the wife of Willie Obiano, the outgoing governor of Anambra state.
Ironically, the incident between both women transpired at the swearing-in of Professor Charles Soludo as the new governor of the state.
As reported by Legit.ng, a viral video that circulated on social media saw Bianca slapping the outgoing governor’s wife.
Similarly, another controversial slap that blew up the internet was at the 2022 Oscars in March.
The host of the event, Chris Rock, who is a comedian appeared to have made a joke about Jada Pinkett who is Smith’s wife.
Jada appeared not to have been pleased by the joke and when her husband, Smith, noticed her countenance, he walked up to Chris Rock and smacked him in the face.
His actions at the Oscars went viral as he still went home with the best actor prize at the academy awards.
Meanwhile, his actions were greeted with a very brutal sanction by the organisers of the award who barred him from attending the next ten Oscars.
