Saturday, December 27, 2025 - A woman described as an “IJGB”, a person who lives abroad and just arrived Nigeria, has sparked debate online after sharing a video criticising her experience in Lagos during the popular “Detty December” period.
In the video, the woman alleged that the city has persistent
sanitation issues, claiming that “everything smells,” including public spaces,
ride-hailing vehicles, and even people. She warned others abroad against
travelling to Lagos for the festive season, describing the environment as
unpleasant.
She also complained about traffic congestion in the city,
saying it worsened her overall experience. According to her, gridlock often
causes events to start late and makes commuting stressful and exhausting.
“Lagos is a very smelly city. Everybody in Lagos smells.
Don’t come to Lagos for Detty December,” she said in the video.
Her comments have triggered mixed reactions on social media,
with some users agreeing with her observations about traffic and infrastructure
challenges, while others criticised her remarks as exaggerated and unfair to
residents of Lagos.
