Can We Talk About Detty December ?

“Detty December” is a popular slang term for the vibrant, party-filled festive season in Nigeria and Ghana, typically running from mid-December through the New Year. It’s a period of intense celebrations, social gatherings, concerts, and cultural events that attracts a significant influx of diaspora returnees and tourists, significantly boosting the local economy. 

The phrase, coined by artist Mr. Eazi in 2016, means “to let loose and live it up” during the holidays.
