Most churches this days are not different from this night clubs I hope you know. Na just cover up using the name of Jesus. The kind of dance and indecent dressing ehn. And they make more money. If churches should declare the money they made this December alone it will be times 5 .

very true. If one should ask me what church do I want to go to on a Sunday, I go think so tey d Sunday sef go pas jejely..!

Money dey where e dey.
While most are complaining of hardship, Some are balling hard.

Those people returned from abroad, clubbed in Lagos with dollars and euros then visited their villages towards 27th 28th December

That amount is pretty underestimated
I know clubs that did 2B average in December alone
Talk of Zaza, Quilox and likes
So I'm sure the figure is way below

If the naira has value then this would have been good news but sadly the naira is shiiit and worthless and the inflated prices of goods is what actually made that sum to be like that and for your note,that 4 billion plus is way lower,I think the real sum is around 10 billion.

Did you read this? 👇🏾👇🏾

This surge was partly attributed to insecurity in southeastern Nigeria, which prompted many to prioritise the safer southwestern states.

People headed Lagos and West because of insecurity in the SE.

The research covered between Nov 26 to Dec 26. If you want to know effect of Igbos in Lagos...do research between Dec 26 to Jan 5th ... that's the period we travel for Christmas.

1, The devaluation of the Naira was the major reason Dec. 2024 festivities remains the most impactful in the recent history of Nigerian tourism.

2, Asides from the major currencies like the $ ,€, ¥,£. Smaller African countries even in the CFA zone have their currencies almost double the value of the naira (1,000 CFA = N2,250)

3, CNN Africa reported in it's " Detty December" report that for the first time, the whole Africa stood still for Nigeria with an estimated 500,000 new visitors to Nigeria through Air & land alone.

4, The Big three (3) entertainment exports; Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido added flavour to the season all with them buying brand new exotic cars triggering a frenzy of wealth, class and hope.

5, International stars like Kamaru Usman, Francis Nganonu, Anthony Joshua etc gave a good show as they spiced up the "Detty Dec".
Nigeria and Lagos State has finally become a tourist destination through the Naira devaluation.

6, Lagos State has become more attractive for tourist basically because of its low crime rate and relative peace. The Lagos State Security Trust Fund is unmatched in Nigeria with Air, Sea and Land components including helicopters, attack speed boats and patrol vehicles.

7, The Governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo Olu in his interview on TVC has promised that a more deliberate economy would be built around December festivities and it's value chain.

Other Nigerian states can cash in the frenzy for 2025 Dec.

Congratulations to Babajide Sanwo Olu, Congratulations to Nigerian Tourism.

Like play like play these peope are intelligently building their country out of a country and making their capital city attractive for future country to be born.

A deep word not for the simp mind.

How I wish some people could focus on their homeland and develop it than dragging land in Lagos, Abuja and Kaduna.

Mind you I didn't mentioned anybody name or city so if you quote me and talk anyhow that is your headache.

Igbos are also balling in their villages this festive seasons.

Igbos villages are the most developed in Nigeria. Have you heard of " Aku ru ulo " ?

What happen to your villages in osun, ogun , oyo ? While Lagos. It is because your villages are dead!! Nothing is going on there.

When was the last time you travel to your village ? You can't even locate your ancestral home in your village because it is dead.

Rubbish analysis based on foolish imagination. Who counted the 1.2 million people who came to lagos. Second, since when did Nigerians coming home for Xmas for probably 2 weeks become tourists. Third, did any nightclub, hotel, eatery open their account books for verification. People should stop this nonsense detty December. This is not the first Xmas people are coming home

3ice9ce:
Those who claim Lagos is always empty every December were busy paying ransom in their villages last December

lol, which ransom ? Maybe the one you paid for them.

Christmas in the east was full of funs and philanthropy activities to assist our people.

See how Anambra billionaire called Might Mighty did for his people in his village this Christmas. Something that can't happen in region
https://anambrapeople.com.ng/2024/12/30/anambra-billionaire-mighty-mighty-builds-20-houses-for-the-poor-gifts-them-1m-each-pic-video/

Many other wealthy people are doing it in the east this festive period.

Instead of you guys to develop your dead villages. All of you will be claiming lagosians
Did you travel to your village in oyo to celebrate Christmas ? You don't even know the road to your village. You can't locate your ancestral home , yet you are claiming lagosian

On a personal level it's just a waste of money though it helps to boost the economy as well as job creation for the industry.

Nigerians have a problem with arithmetic. They are looking at it like big money

At least they're not spots for sin or iniquity.

At least they're not spots for sin or iniquity.

Partially.

This is not surprising. The top three highest revenue generating industries in Nigeria are as follows:

1. Ashawo (this industry unarguably generates over N10 trillion yearly if Nigeria only decides to jettison its hypocrisy and embrace an unassailable fact that it is thriving successfully. I can state without contradiction that we currently have over 20 million oloshos across Nigeria when you consider a total female population of 110 million- majority of our female are youth. Olosho work is legal in most of Western Europe and they have less than one million registered ashawos generating billions of Pounds and Euros every year. Juxtapose this figure against Lagos State which currently has about 5 million ashawos. This is about 6 times more the number of ashawos in Western Europe. Lagos State even eclipses China which has 2 million registered ashawos in a female population of about 500 million females. What Nigeria needs to do is regulate ashawo business and open us up for sex tourism. With the current exchange rate, a randy European punter will get a good bang for his buck I.e. bundle tour package for 7 night covering hotel, feeding, drinks and one dozen ashawo of assorted sizes for less that $3,000.

2. Sports betting.

3. Entertainment (music, drinking, nightclubbing etc).

These three industries generate a higher Return on Investment than the Dangotes, Elumelus, Otedolas, Okoya etc as these billionaires invest billions before they make profit. In comparison, the highest investment an ashawo might undertake is BBL (N5m) which she can make back in four good nack dates without all the sweat and grey hair we saw Dangote experience.

IT EVEN HAPPENED AFTER THOSE PEOPLE "DONT INVEST IN LAGOS CAMPAIGN"

Islie:
Lagos, arguably Nigeria’s go-to entertainment hub, was the spotlight of the recently concluded “Detty December” with nightclubs in the state alone generating a staggering N4.32 billion ($2.7 million) during the period.

A new report by advisory firm MO Africa Company Limited analysed data from November 19 to December 26, highlighting how the city’s vibrant hospitality and tourism sectors attracted travelers from across the globe.

Lagos alone welcomed an estimated 1.2 million tourists, of which 60% were domestic travelers.

This surge was partly attributed to insecurity in southeastern Nigeria, which prompted many to prioritise the safer southwestern states.

Most arrivals came for leisure and tourism, further going on to lend credence to Lagos’ position as a pole destination for holiday revelers.

Preferred destinations in Nigeria, for visitors coming from the abroad, included Lagos, Edo, Delta, Ondo, and Ogun states.


Hospitality Boom

The influx of visitors drove record-breaking revenue across multiple sectors with hotels in Lagos reported to have generated an earning of N54 billion ($36 million) from 15,000 bookings in December. Short-term apartment rentals added another N21 billion ($13 million) from nearly 6,000 bookings. Short-let apartments charged an average nightly rate of N120,000 ($74.7).

Nightlife was another standout sector, with Lagos’ top 15 nightclubs generating a combined N4.32 billion ($2.7 million). Daily revenue for clubs averaged N360 million ($224,000), with premium tables fetching up to N1.2 million ($746.7) per night.

Beaches and resorts contributed proportionately as well, accounting for 70% of the N4.5 billion ($2.8 million) earned from recreational activities.

Event Centers and Luxury Rentals
Event centers hosted 1,175 bookings in December, yielding N1.2 billion ($804,000). Meanwhile, luxury car rentals saw a boom, with N1.5 billion ($937,500) spent on 750 bookings. High-end vehicles commanded daily rates ranging from N200,000 ($124.4) to N2 million ($1,244).

Kayode Omosebi, CEO of MO Africa Company Limited, says his team surveyed hotels, airports, short-let agents, and nightclubs to compile the data.

Omosebi noted the increasing reliance on cryptocurrency in Lagos’ hospitality sector.

“Eighty five percent of conversion to Naira and payments were done through this exchange platform. A number of bookings were done through agents rather than through booking platforms, which speaks to trust concerns and the power-play of agents in the industry.”

Looking ahead, Omosebi projected that ‘Detty December’ could bring in up to $2 billion in foreign exchange by 2026.

“The industry is evolving, and we would start seeing niche-focused hospitality and tourism experiences… There’s massive opportunity in bespoke event centers for concerts and shows,” he said.

Deep insights.

Hotels in Lagos alone generated 36 million USD during the "Detty December" time frame.

The top 15 night clubs in Lagos generated 2.7 million USD.

The church is not built for money making but for soul winning . And ppl will complain when their donations were used to build schools that they can't afford to enroll their children. Nobody contributed anything for club owners
