Team Lead Toyosola Amuludun, popularly known as Tall Dreaded Guy, explained that the goal is to establish a new end-of-year tradition. He stated that the initiative seeks to bring people back home, attract new visitors, and firmly place Ijebu-Ode on Nigeria's entertainment map.

With the theme "The Wonderland Experience," the party promises to be more than just a musical event. Organizers plan to blend music, art, fashion, and contemporary youth culture into a single, immersive festive celebration. This festival-style gathering is expected to draw a crowd of over 2,000 people.
The target audience for this landmark event includes students, creatives, nightlife enthusiasts, and young professionals from across Ogun State, Lagos, and other neighbouring regions in the South-West.

Positioning Ijebu-Ode as an Entertainment Destination
This inaugural Detty December event is a strategic move to position Ijebu as a recognized destination for premium entertainment and youth tourism during the festive season.
