47. The Dialectics of Detty December

We start the year with a crossover episode featuring the Out of The Box podcast & guest hosted by our friend Commander Matrix. The episode discusses the annual influx of tourists, celebrities and disaporans who come to celebrate the festive season in Lagos and the economic effects of that inflow. We also examine the sociocultural phenomena that arise from the interaction between locals and tourists/celebrities.

Among other things, we ponder the dynamics of class performance of the working class of first world countries and their interaction with the Lagos working class. What is it about Lagos that draws such a number in December? Is it absurd to consider Lagos a tourist destination? Can more be done to ensure that the annual influx has a more positive impact? Listen and find out.
