Detty December: A Missed Opportunity for Nigeria?

Merry Christmas Commoners! In this episode, we break down the realities of Detty December in Lagos- from the rising costs to the very real infrastructure challenges that come with it. We get into accommodation prices, concerts, poor planning, and whether Nigeria’s tourism sector is actually prepared for the influx of visitors each festive season. We also compare Nigeria’s approach to tourism with other West African countries and question whether “vibes behaviour” can really sustain long-term growth. So, is Detty December a win for Nigeria? or a missed opportunity? Let’s get into it.
