Detty December: 5 concert safety tips that should be on your mind

Every December, young Nigerians go all out for what is called a 'Detty December' filled with fun and a good time with the IJGBs - the Nigerians who say 'I just got back' from whatever overseas country they live in.

Having concerts in Nigeria is tricky and never easy because of the lack of good concert locations and security.

Concerts are also infamous for being unsafe with people losing their valuable items.

This doesn't always have to be the case. If you are going to a concert, here are some general tips for your safety.

You don’t have to be high or drunk to enjoy the concert. Not being in control of your senses is a sure way to get into trouble.
Have a plan for how you will be going home, you cannot just leave your return trip home to vibes. Are you leaving before midnight, going in a car or carpooling in a friend's car?
Take good care of your personal belongings. Concerts are not the place to carry a backpack or a big bag, a simple fanny pack is enough.
Be vigilant. Take note of your environment and watch out for anything that seems out of place.
Don't go to a concert alone, ever. This last one goes without saying. So, next time you are buying tickets, buy two. It makes the entire experience more enjoyable and also for safety reasons.

Concerts promise a good time because you get to see your favourite artists in person and sing their songs along with them into the night, but it's always important to think about your safety too.
