flag Nigerian holiday visitors boost economy but widen wealth gap, raising living costs for locals.

flag Nigerian visitors returning from abroad, known as "IJGBs," are boosting the economy during holidays but also widening the wealth gap. flag Their influx during festive periods like "Detty December" drives up prices in cities like Lagos and Abuja, making it harder for locals to afford living costs. flag This disparity has deepened since Nigeria's independence in 1960, with over 10% of the population now owning more than 60% of the country's wealth. flag Limited job opportunities push many Nigerians to seek better prospects abroad.
