Afrobeats superstar Davido has highlighted the growing international allure of Lagos, revealing that during the festive period of December 2024, the city witnessed an influx of visitors, including a significant number of Americans, surpassing the local population.
In a recent interview, Davido remarked,
“Last December, there were more Americans than Nigerians in Lagos.”
This statement underscores the city's increasing prominence as a global destination, particularly during the "Detty December" season, a period renowned for its vibrant festivities, concerts, and cultural events.
The "Detty December" phenomenon has become a hallmark of Lagos's year-end celebrations, attracting both locals and international visitors to partake in the myriad of events that characterize the season. This influx not only boosts the city's economy but also enhances its reputation as a cultural hub on the African continent.
