It’s a world of endless parties and sleepless nights. A relentless celebration that turns West Africa – and especially Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos – into one of the hottest destinations on the continent, if not the planet, right in the middle of winter.https://www.cnn.com/travel/detty-december-nigeria-lagos-ghana/index.html 14 Likes 5 Shares

One of the things I’ve observed the most is the positive economic impact this December has on Nigeria,” says Cynthia. “People are coming to Nigeria to have fun and pumping money into the economy, bringing in more jobs for, you know, the less fortunate as well, and it’s so beautiful to watch.” Of course, no good thing comes without challenges. While Detty December feels like a haven of fun, there are certainly drawbacks. Flights to Lagos from the UK, US, and Canada become expensive, especially during this period, prompting IJGBs and frequent visitors to book within the first three months of the year to avoid sky-high costs. Additionally, as an emerging market, Nigeria’s infrastructure often struggles to handle the influx of visitors during Detty December, leading to severe traffic jams that are a nightmare to navigate. “Lagos is already populated, but come December, you know most people in the diaspora come to Nigeria,” says Ademidun. “This year, I even noticed more people who aren’t even of Nigerian heritage coming into the country to participate in the events, which was interesting, but it just meant everywhere was packed. So, getting a nail appointment, or a hair appointment wasn’t impossible but it was tricky. There is also a lot of traffic, which we expected but traffic jams are a major hindrance of enjoyment 18 Likes 1 Share

I saw this on CNN and I said wow! It is now becoming obvious to the West and all those who cares to know that Nigeria is indeed one best place to be. We understand the setbacks but who would believe that gun violence in America claimed over 46,000 lives in 2023 and over 28,000 people died same year in flu related cases? Let's cherish and celebrate what we have and like they always say, No place like home. 38 Likes 6 Shares |

This news from the CNN will make some people to cry blood today. As they always feel sad and mad whenever they read positive news about Lagos state, Southwest and Nigeria at large. Yorubaland will keep winning! Apart from Lagos we have other sites that will naturally attract international pilgrimages (and tourists) throughout the year. For example, the Osun River, if several billions can be spent to modernize it and make it very attractive much more is possible... (You may not hold any of your traditional believes but you should not throw away your heritage. So many people are already creating the replica (of for example the Oshun river) in their countries so why should we deny them the opportunity to visit Nigeria as pilgrimages.) - Life is not just about stealing money and sending your children abroad. We should create environments, systems and cultures that our future generations will bless our memories because of it. Special sites and landmarks with no religious values should be modernise and equipped with huge amusement amenities (like the China and other countries are doing). We should be intentional about everything. The picture below is a picture of Kaaba some years ago and also a recent picture. NEWLY EDITED: Even as a rich private individul with cash to spare, do something (in your name) for your immediate environment that your contemporary and the upcoming generations will bless your memories for: 1. Build Enduring Infrastructure - Construct schools, libraries, or community centers. - Establish hospitals or clinics with long-term funding. - Develop sustainable housing or public amenities like parks. 2. Invest in Education - Create scholarships or educational grants. - Support vocational training programs to empower local talent. - Donate books, technology, or resources to schools. 3. Promote Economic Empowerment - Fund small businesses or entrepreneurial ventures through microloans. - Establish a community foundation to support local projects. - Create job opportunities through sustainable businesses. 4. Contribute to Environmental Sustainability - Plant trees and protect natural habitats. - Support renewable energy projects. - Set up waste recycling initiatives. 5. Endow Foundations or Trusts - Create foundations focused on critical issues like education, healthcare, or poverty alleviation. - Endow trusts to ensure funds are available for future community needs. 6. Support Arts and Culture - Fund community arts programs or cultural centers. - Preserve historical landmarks or support restoration projects. - Sponsor local festivals or cultural exhibitions. 7. Champion Health and Wellness - Build fitness and wellness centers. - Provide long-term funding for free health checkups or vaccination drives. - Address mental health by funding counseling services. 8. Encourage Civic Engagement - Sponsor leadership training for youths. - Support platforms for civic education and participation. - Fund community-led projects to empower locals to take charge. 9. Mentorship and Knowledge Transfer - Create mentorship programs to guide young leaders. - Document and share their journey and experiences to inspire others. 10. Focus on Morality - Support initiatives that uphold moral values and community ethics. 17 Likes 7 Shares

Good for foreign capital inflow into Nigeria as a whole! However, we should not use it as a license to commit whoredom, nor drug trafficking etc! Not ALL that glitters is gold... Thanks. 1 Like |
