Social media users are debating the realities of returning home for the holidays after a diaspora creator shared her unfiltered take on the e.. xperience. The conversation began when Twitter influencer Vampz reposted a clip from TikToker Iamisiuwa, who offered a critical review of her recent visit.
Iamisiuwa spent 16 days in the country to participate in the annual “Detty December” celebrations. Her video, which gained significant traction on January 3, 2026, outlined several frustrations that ranged from infrastructure issues to cultural differences.
Complaints about internet and spicy food
The content creator noted that her stay felt longer than anticipated due to specific discomforts. She highlighted the inconsistency of internet access as a primary grievance, stating that Wi-Fi availability was unreliable throughout her trip.
Food also became a point of contention for the visitor. Iamisiuwa explained that local dishes were too spicy for her taste, making dining difficult during her stay. This complaint adds to a growing list of grievances from returnees, similar to when BBNaija stars Leo Dasilva and Nina slammed Lagos December apartment prices for being unreasonably high.
Financial demands from locals further complicated her experience. The TikToker described the frequency of people asking for “blessings” or money as overwhelming. She felt that the constant requests for financial aid took away from the enjoyment of the holiday season.
Party culture and dating advice
Beyond the daily logistics, Iamisiuwa touched on the intense nature of the festive social scene. She observed that parties often continued until the early hours of the morning, leaving little time for rest.
Romance was another area where she urged caution for future visitors. The influencer warned travelers not to expect long-term relationships during this period, noting that most attendees focus solely on fleeting fun. While some celebrities like Tekno claims huge N298m bet win teases December giveaway to spice up the season, Iamisiuwa suggests the average experience is more about spending than receiving.
She concluded her review with health advice for incoming travelers. The creator emphasised the importance of taking anti-malaria medication, revealing that falling ill is a common occurrence for many who visit during the busy month.
