convoy was caught in the gridlock
Lagos, Nigeria’s busiest city, is infamous for its traffic, especially during the festive season.
On December 20, 2024, even President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s convoy was caught in the gridlock that defines “Detty December.”
This yearly tradition of concerts, parties, and events brings millions of visitors and residents to Lagos, turning the city into a hub of celebration—and traffic on the roads.
With the influx of holidaymakers and returning diaspora, traffic has reached extreme levels.
While some Lagosians see it as part of the season’s charm, others struggle with the frustration of endless queues and delays.
Despite the challenges, the festive spirit of Detty December continues to thrive across the city.
