Detty December
“Detty December” refers to the lively Lagos tradition where December is packed with nonstop parties, concerts, nightlife, and cultural events, fuelled by returning diaspora Nigerians and heightened local celebration. The city becomes especially vibrant and crowded as entertainment and tourism peak. The spelling “detty” comes from Nigerian Pidgin English, where it is a playful version of “dirty” that implies excess, intensity, and carefree fun.
