Planning a Detty December but I'm actually Broke

50K for ticket prices. Ayra Starr please!

I have never had a Detty December experience. I’ve always wanted one, but once December comes, my account goes dry—every single year.

Every year, I plan to attend concerts in Abuja and have the time of my life, and every year, I end up attending those concerts… online. On Snapchat. On people's IG stories. On Twitter. I watch everyone have fun on the internet while I’m locked in my house thinking of what next to feed my hungry tummy.

This year, like always, I’m planning to experience a Detty December for real… like in real life. With loud music in the air, alcohol buzzing in my brain, me screaming at the top of my voice.

And just like every other year, I’m “broke planning”. Let’s call it speaking into the universe. I'm hoping the universe hears my plea and sends money my way. I know the universe is pretending not to hear my cries-again like they do every time but it’s me and them this year. (Idk why I think the universe is a group of people… or aliens smh)

The two concerts I have my eyes on are Rema’s and Ayra Starr's, but I think they have a different target audience in mind.

You know, the kind of audience that steals our money while claiming to be working for the country. Yes, I’m talking about politicians and their offspring, or the kind that work in oil and gas and earn a 2M monthly salary and have no bills to pay because WHAT ARE THESE PRICES?!

The 2.5M is taking me out

₦50k for a regular ticket? They didn’t even consider starting with ₦30k to test the waters to see how people are feeling before increasing it.

Do you know what I can do with 50k? I can get a skincare refill, change my glasses frame, get this cute bag I’ve been eyeing on IG, get another platform slide, and buy two new pairs of jeans.

(It’s giving poverty but allow)

We aren’t even allowed to go out and have fun at the end of the year after all the shege T-Pain has shown us this year—and the remaining shege he’s preparing for the coming years because you people want to drain our account with these ticket prices.

(Christmas is still coming by the way and chicken is now 17k)

I posted about wanting to go to the concert on my close friends’ IG story and my friends were shouting “go go go” Okay, donate?

“We want you to go out and have fun this December, you deserve it!” Okay, donate?

“You love Ayra and you’ve been playing HEIS for so long, go and have fun” Okay, donate?

(I love my friends and they will happily pay for my ticket if I ask, please don’t think too much about this lol)

To be fair, I understand concerts are expensive to organize because there’s a lot of work that needs to be done behind the scenes and a lot of people that need to be paid. And with how things are in the country, everything has skyrocketed so I get them.

But on the consumer side, as the person… as the fan, who would be paying that fee, 50K is tough!

Like hello? I have Ayra Starr at home duh!

No be to just carry microphone start dey sing song? I’ll open YouTube and watch her music video dfkm

This was supposed to be about how badly I want to have fun this December. I don’t know how it turned into a rant about how broke I am omg.

(But seriously, If you’re feeling generous, my account is open for sponsorships—because this Detty December dream won’t fund itself!)

To my 1/2 friends left in Abuja: Call me when you’re going out this December. I promise I won’t come up with excuses to stay home. I’ll follow you anywhere.🥹

(As long as we don’t end up in prison)

Happy New Month loves

What’s your Detty December plan?

Are you attending concerts, partying, or broke planning like me?
