OUR STORY
Why OneDettyDecember Exists
December 2023. Trying to book a table at a Lagos restaurant from Houston, Texas. Three days of unanswered DMs. A wire transfer to someone's "cousin." No confirmation. No receipt. Just vibes and prayers.
Sound familiar?
We built OneDettyDecember because everyone deserves betterâwhether you're diaspora reconnecting with your roots, African Americans discovering the motherland, or lovers of African culture seeking authentic experiences. Because vendors deserve consistent income, not just chaos. Because Lagos and Accra's December magic shouldn't be this hard to access.
This isn't just another booking platform. It's infrastructure for the culture. It's the bridge connecting people from all backgrounds to West Africa's incredible December offerings. Whether you're coming home or coming for the first time, Detty December is your gateway to experience Africa's vibrant cultural celebration. We're preserving and elevating this tradition for generations to come.
What Makes Us Different
Built for Everyone
Whether you're diaspora, African American, or simply a lover of African culture, we understand the unique challenges of planning Detty December from abroad. From time zones to trust issues with vendors, we've experienced it allâand we're solving it for everyone.
Lagos Ă Accra Unity
Two cities, one celebration. We don't choose sidesâwe elevate both. Equal representation, equal love, equal opportunity for vendors and travelers across both markets.
Vendor-First Approach
Without thriving local businesses, there's no Detty December. That's why founding vendors pay zero commission until 2026. Your success is literally our business model.
Quality Over Quantity
Every vendor is verified. Every experience is vetted. We'd rather have 100 exceptional offerings than 1,000 questionable ones. Your safety and satisfaction come first.
"Where IJGB stress becomes JAGUDA joy"
We're building the future of Detty Decemberâone verified vendor, one trusted booking, one unforgettable experience at a time.
