Today marks the official release of Christmas in Nigeria: Why It’s Called Detty December, a vibrant new book by Hon. Remy Chukwunyere, EMBA, celebrating the energy, culture, and unique experience of the Christmas season in Nigeria.
The book captures the essence of what has become one of Africa’s most talked-about festive periods; popularly known as Detty December. A time defined by family reunions, faith, music, travel, nightlife, community, and unapologetic joy, Detty December is a reflection of the Nigerian spirit at its liveliest.
According to Mr. Chukwunyere, “Detty December is more than a season; it is an expression of who we are as Nigerians. This book tells our story in our own voice; authentically, proudly, and without apology.”
Through a blend of cultural insights and storytelling, the book documents the contrasts and connections that define a Nigerian Christmas; from quiet village mornings to vibrant city nights, and from traditional customs to modern celebrations.
Released at a time when Nigerian culture continues to gain global recognition, Detty December positions itself as both a cultural record and a timely contribution to conversations about identity, celebration, and African storytelling.
