The December festive season in Nigeria, commonly referred to as ‘detty December' have captured the world's attention. Lagos alone brought in $71.6m in tourism revenue in December 2024, according to the Lagos State Government. How are locals faring with the influx of tourists in a tough economy? Catherine Nzuki is joined by Oluwatomisin Amokeoja, a journalist with Forbes Africa, to give an overview of ‘detty December' in Lagos. They unpack what ‘detty December' is (1:58); where the term originates (3:40); and how it has grown into such a big phenomenon that pulls in celebrities, tourists, and diaspora members (known colloquially as the “I Just Got Back” or IJGBs) (5:59); and what the December celebrations look like for locals (7:54). Peter Imouokhome, a development economist and consultant based in Lagos joins the podcast to unpack the economics of ‘detty December'. They discuss the causes of the ongoing economic crisis in Nigeria (10:40); its impact on locals (16:29); how the cost of living crisis has led to protests (20:00); and how Nigeria can balance the economic benefits of tourism with its unintended negative effects on locals (25:50).

The Lagos State Government is committed to continually improving and regulating the parking refinement for residents in order to make parking convenient, safe and secure.Speaking at a news-conference, to inform stakeholders and the public on the mandate and activities of the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA), the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, explained that the functions of the Agency are constitutional and the State Government will never resort to any untoward means in its dealing with the people.Addressing the misinformation recently circulated about the activities of LASPA by a company alleging that it was charged for parking within its own premises, the Commissioner urged Lagosians to be wary of political jobbers and individuals who willfully distort facts.Oladeinde stated that LASPA was established to promote parking policies tailored to suit the peculiarity of the State in line with modern international standards towards achieving a smart city.“LASPA is empowered to remove all impediments arising from indiscriminate parking, thereby increasing the carriageway capacity on the roads, improving the flow of traffic and reducing travel time”, he remarked.He maintained that aside from improving the parking culture, the establishment of the Authority has created employment opportunities for youths and will further generate additional revenue for the State.Outlining the levies paid to LASPA on parking lots provided by the Authority, Oladeinde said that the rates are reasonable and cheap.“The yearly levy of N80,000, an equivalent of N219 daily, is lower than charges of most private commercial parks, which is N500 to N1,000 parking dues per hour, equivalent to over N182,500 or N365,000 yearly. The difference is clear as the government is quite considerate and responsive in making the environment conducive for all”, the Commissioner explained.While encouraging Lagosians to cooperate with the agency and other similar stakeholders in carrying out its mandate, Oladeinde implored concerned members of the public to visit the Agency's office at 36B Sasegbon Street, GRA, Ikeja, for necessary information and assistance.He also called on Lagosians to visit the Authority's website at www.laspa.lg.gov.ng and direct their enquiries to @laspa.lg.gov.ng or telephone numbers: 01-227-5230 and 01-227-5231, adding that the agency is available 24/7 on social media platforms: Facebook: Laspa Mot, Twitter:@laspa_mot, Instagram: laspa_lagos.In her remarks, the General Manager, Lagos State Parking Authority, Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu, expressed the need to regulate the parking sector to achieve the 21st Century City that this administration is desirous to bequeath Lagosians.Bemoaning the indiscriminate parking across the State, the General Manager stated that most Lagos buildings lack parking space, pointing out that Lagos needs to get to a point where parking facilities must be provided when erecting any building.“As the government is trying to pool revenue into the development of infrastructure, lack of adequate parking facilities is causing deterioration of our road infrastructure. Therefore, event centres, religious houses, shopping malls and other public buildings must make necessary provisions for parking spaces”, the General Manager affirmed.Mrs. Adelabu explained that LASPA was created to solve a problem that affects every resident, saying “We intend to regulate the parking sector and not take ownership from private operators. Privately-owned and commercial parking locations are enjoined to register with the Agency to enable government create the necessary structure to ease access to these facilities”.She stated that the Authority has engaged some religious bodies including the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and Islamic Organisations on the need to provide enough space that will accommodate their vehicles.While emphasising that opportunities for concession ownership of the parking facilities would be available, the General Manager disclosed that the agency will roll out adaptable technology to support operations and gradually deploy signage and lane markings in phases across Lagos.The briefing was attended by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso; Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation, Mr. Kamar Olowoshago; Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on New Media, Mr. Jubril Gawat and other stakeholders in the transportation sector.Courtesy : Lagos State Parking Authority

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has insisted that nobody died during the #EndSARS protest at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State in October 2020.Mr Mohammed said this on Tuesday while addressing a news conference in Abuja. He also described the report circulating online as fake.His comments come a week after the judicial panel probing allegations of police brutality in Lagos State submitted its findings to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.One of the reports was on claims of police brutality while the other was on the shooting in the Lekki area of Lagos State on October 20, 2020, said to have killed and injured several protesters. The minister emphatically, said: “We reject the notion that our soldiers and policemen massacred innocent Nigerians at the Lekki Tollgate”.He also demanded relatives of the victims to come forward with evidence, saying that “any parent who is afraid to testify about the death of his or her child is not worthy to be called a parent".Below is the full text of his speech.TEXT OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY THE HON. MINISTER OFINFORMATION AND CULTURE, ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED, IN ABUJA ON TUESDAY NOV. 23RD 2021 ON THE REPORT OF THE LAGOS STATE JUDICIAL PANEL OF INQUIRY AND RESTITUTION TO INVESTIGATE CASES OF POLICE BRUTALITY AND THE INCIDENT OF OCT. 20TH 2020 AT LEKKI TOLL GATEGood morning gentlemen,2. It's no longer news that the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry that investigated cases of police brutality as well as the incident of Oct. 20th, 2020, at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos has submitted its report. The submission happened whileI was out of the country on national assignment. Unlike many commentators and analysts, we took our time to read and digest the report, and we are now well placed to respond.3. Without mincing words, let me say that never in the history of any Judicial Panel in this country has its report been riddled with so many errors, inconsistencies, discrepancies, speculations, innuendoes, omissions and conclusions that are not supported by evidence. What is circulating in public space is simply a rehash of the unverified fake news that has been playing on social media since the incident of Oct.20th 2020. It is simply incredible that a Judicial Panel set up to investigate an incident has submitted a report laden with allegations, the same allegations it was set up to investigate in the first instance. Instead of sitting for all of one year, the panel could have just compiled social media ‘tales by the moonlight' on the incident and submitted, saving taxpayers' funds and everyone's time. That report is nothing but the triumph of fake news and the intimidation of a silent majority by a vociferous lynch mob.4. Gentlemen, we have read some critical analysis of the report by a courageous few. One commentator, a lawyer, said it raised more questions than answers. Another commentator, a journalist, called it a ‘disgraceful report by a disgraceful panel', saying it reported allegations instead of investigating the allegations. Yet another wondered how a Judicial Panel could use the words ‘massacre in context' and equate such to a massacre. All these and many more have raised valid questions on that report. We salute their courage and refusal to be cowed by the rampaging lynch mob that has been screaming blue murder since the report was released.5. We do not intend to bore you by rehashing details of the discrepancies, innuendoes, inconsistencies and errors in that report. They are already in the public space. Let us, however, point out some key highlights of such discrepancies, errors, omissions, etc.i) – The report threw away the testimony of ballistic experts who testified before it. The experts said, inter alia, in their testimony:”The Team finds that from the medical data examined, including thetimeline of arrival at medical facility and the nature of the injuriessustained by the Victims, who were taken to the 5 medical facilities,that no military grade live ammunition (high-velocity) was fired atthe protesters at Lekki Tollgate on 20th October 2020, within thetimeframe of reference (18.30- 20.34hrs). That the GSW (Gun ShotWounds) injuries (4 in number between 19:05 and 19:45 hrs), which wereexamined by the Team, can be safely identified as being discharged byeither low velocity caliber and/or artisanal/12-gauge firearms(artisanal firearms are locally-fabricated weapons). What is howevercertain is that had the military personnel deliberately fired militarygrade live ammunition directly at the protesters; there would havebeen significantly more fatalities and catastrophic injuriesrecorded. This was clearly not the case.''i) – The same panel that said it deemed as credible the evidence of the Forensic Pathologist, Prof. John Obafunwa, that only three of the bodies on which post mortem were conducted were from Lekki and only one had gunshot injury went on to contradict itself by saying nine persons died of gunshot wounds at Lekki!iii) – The man whose evidence (that he counted 11 bodies in a military van where he was left for dead before he escaped) was found to be crucial by the panel never testified in person. Rather, the video of his ‘testimony' was played by someone else. It did not occur to the panel to query the veracity of the testimony of a man who said he was shot and presumed dead but still had time to count dead bodies inside a supposedly dark van at night!iv) – The panel said trucks with brushes underneath were brought to the Lekki Toll Gate in the morning of Oct. 21 2020 to clean up bloodstains and other evidence, but still found bullet casings at the same site when it visited on Oct. 30th 2020. It said soldiers picked up bullet casings from Lekki Toll Gate on the night of Oct. 20th 2020, yet claimed that policemen came to the same spot to pick the same bullet casings on Oct. 21st 2020!v) – The panel was silent on the family members of those reportedly killed, merely insinuating they were afraid to testify. Even goats have owners who will look for them if they do not return home, not to talk of human beings. Where are the family members of those who were reportedly killed at Lekki Toll Gate? If the panel is recommending compensation for the families, what are their identities and addresses? Who will receive the compensations when no family members have shown up to date?vi) – How did a man who reported seeing the lifeless body of his brother himself ended up being on the list of the panel's deceased persons?vii) – How can a Judicial Panel convince anyone that the names of some casualties of the Lekki Toll Gate incident listed as numbers 3 (Jide), 42 (Tola) and 43 (Wisdom) are not fictitious names.viii) – Why did the Judicial Panel feel compelled to concoct a ”massacre in context” as a euphemism for ”massacre”? A massacre is a massacre. What is ”massacre in context?”x) – The report never mentioned cases of police personnel who were brutally murdered or the massive destruction of police stations, vehicles, e.t c during the Endsars protest. Does this mean that the panel didn't consider policemen and women as human beings?x) – The report didn't make any recommendation on the innocent people whose businesses were attacked and destroyed during the protest in Lagos. I think it was too busy looking for evidence to support its conclusion of ‘massacre in context'.6. It is clear, from the ongoing, that the report of the panel in circulation cannot be relied upon because its authenticity is in doubt. Besides, the Lagos State Government, being the convening authority, has yet to release any official report to the public.Neither has the panel done so. The cowardly leakage of an unsigned report to the public is not enough. Assuming the report in circulation bears any iota of genuineness, it is basic knowledge that the report of such a panel is of no force until the convening authority issues a White Paper and Gazette on it. It is therefore too premature for any person or entity to seek to castigate the Federal Government and its agencies or officials based on such an unofficial and unvalidated report.7. CNN AND OTHERSThe CNN has been celebrating the leaked report of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry. In its rush to claim vindication, CNN apparently didn't even read the report before rolling out the drums in celebration. By that action, CNN has celebrated prematurely and has now committed a double faux pas: First, by relying on unverified social media stories and videos to carry out an investigation of the Oct. 20th 2020 incident at Lekki, where it did not have a correspondent on ground.CNN goofed in its report on the findings of the panel, which fell below the main standards of journalism. Secondly, CNN rushed to the air to celebrate an unsigned and unverified report that is riddled with inconsistencies, errors, discrepancies, innuendoes. That's double faux pas by a news organization that is eager and willing to compromise standards just to claim vindication.8. Sadly, a section of the Nigerian media has also joined the lynch mob. Honestly, in an attempt to vilify government at all costs, they have done themselves a great disservice. How can any news organization worth its salt write an Editorial validating this kind of report? Are they not seeing what others, including journalists and lawyers, are seeing? In a shocking twist, a Nigerian newspaper chose to hail what it calls ‘'detailed investigative report'' by CNN, even when the news channel did not even cover the incident of Oct. 20th 2020! It's a classic case of cutting your nose to spite your face.9 CONCLUSIONSi) – Gentlemen, there is absolutely nothing in the report that is circulating to make us change our stand that there was no massacre at Lekki on Oct. 20th 2020. For us to change our stand, a well-investigated report of the incident that meets all required standards and will withstand every scrutiny must be pro
