Please read the following write up very well and be constructive in your analysis about the different time zone idea...Will this work in Nigeria?wouldn't this cause even more problems for a Country that is yet to find its feet even after 50years?
Please read what Dike Anthony proposes!
Hello Stella,
I was in Abuja 3 weeks ago and then observed the following:
- When it is 6am in Abuja everywhere is as bright as 7am in Lagos;I was so confused on my first day in Abuja,had an appointment only to wake up by 6am thinking it was 7am. Then I found out that many people were awake and the day was so bright that u could see so clearly but this is not obtainable here in Lagos;at first I thought there was "shorter night and longer day",only for the trend to continue.
- When it is 6pm in Abuja,darkness would have covered the entire place,unlike here in Lagos,when darkness is noticed at around 15mins To 7pm and perpetual darkness after 7pm. Hence the conclusion:
- That if there is a difference in time between Manchester and London, why can't there be one here in Nigeria since the above facts can be establish?
- New york and some states in America have different time zones; but why is anyone not seeing that here in Nigeria?
- I think since Lagos is +1GMT, Abuja should be +2GMT
- Would love if my fellow SDKers could as well acknowledge these facts and let's make this known to the appropriate quarters that NIGERIA is so big to have different time Zone.
Thank you so much Stella for being YOU;I have enjoyed every second of your blog.
Thanks a million!

This Anthony guy is just a joker, u comparing Nigeria to london, this is the least of our problem. in nigeria
ReplyDelete@poster your observations are true.but for your time difference,nigerians won't channel their worries there am sorry.
DeleteThat's d least of our problems right now...guy go and sleep mbok
DeleteAs in eh, there is no way I can contribute constructively to this ridiculous suggestion bet I go try. Mr dickhead Anthony go and look at the map of the United States, if you can't understand why that country has different time zones then no one can help you sir.
DeleteSDK cant blive u posted this..... dear poster just like Enugu is bright arnd 5.30am and dark by 6pm same factor would be the case for Abuja..... u know the sun rises from the east and sets at the west Abuja is closer to the east than the west. So its d same GMT just the position of the sun biko
DeleteNigeria has a billion and 1 matters to attend to and not different time zones jor! This is not an important matter...if u find urself in abj and at 4am everywhere is bright, enjoy every bit of it or if u nor like am, come lagos back! GBAM!
ReplyDeleteYou took the word outta my head !
DeleteHehehehehehehe
DeleteExactly!
DeleteMr Dick u obviously hav not been to other parts of nigeria like Ebonyi state etc,were hot sunlight hit u on ur bed by 5:45 - 6:00....u can simply reset ur watch/clock 5hrs difference if u like and leave busy pple outta ur boredom...#clicks tongue#
DeleteD guy is so rite! I noticed it too and kept wondering. I tot it was d whole longer day nd shorter night thing. However, from about last week, its been d reverse, d day dosent break on time in abj and d sun sets quite late in d evening! I think a different time zone thing should be considered.
ReplyDeletePls people in Lagos that don't travel to other states abeg make una comic for house. Those who shuttle btw north and south are so so used to this
Deletei live in Abuja & its so true. Wen i was newly transfered 2 Abuja, i always think i was late 4 wrk. But now I'm so used 2 it.
ReplyDeleteHjmmmmm ok o
ReplyDelete-what month of the year did you make theses observations?
ReplyDelete- does the same apply in all months of the year?
- as far as I know, Manchester and London have the same time; and
- different time zones in USA is necessary because the time difference is so much, up to 6 or 7 hours.
Hands Dike a cup of espresso!
ReplyDeleteYou need to be awake dude.
Worry bout making more money instead of thinking bout Nigeria n its time zones lol.
ReplyDeleteThere is no time difference between Manchester and London. Thank me later.
ReplyDeleteHum I wonder why people fabricates issues or hype words in other to prove their points in this era of Google where things can be checked easily e.g London and Manchester are 1hr. My friend that is not true! Based on that alone your points and write ups are invalid. 9ja wey still they crawl name im u wan make join marathon race! How dat one go work? Abegi yarn better things wey go better peoples life and leave bone for bingo.
ReplyDeleteBuh its true! Woke up dis morning arnd 5am tot it wz 7am or there abt
ReplyDeleteTravel round your country more abeg
DeleteOya we done hear so STFU......
ReplyDelete1. The size of Texas is bigger than Nigeria
2.you want to change time zones in a country where half of its population stay in rural areas and still tell time through cock crows
best comment.
Deletethe big question is which regulatory agency who handle the correction Abi conversion. E go hard small.
ReplyDeleteMy 2 cents !
Fisherman
So its the amount of light or darkness you want to use to determine the time in this 21st century?
ReplyDelete"I think since Lagos is +1GMT, Abuja should be +2GMT"
Just like that? Just Guesswork should be used to determine time difference, if there's any.
We have meteorological agency in Abuja and the states. They can't even get the weather forecast right because they are probably still using 10th Century equipments.
Abeg leave our time as it is. We can't even access basic necessities of life, time difference is the least of our worries.
Lmao!Simply adjust ur own wrist watch by one hour nah. Its like u didn't do geography in second schl. Its determined by lat and longitude. The minor difference in long and lat is not sufficient for one hour time change
ReplyDeleteOk o
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, there is no difference in time between Manchester and London !
ReplyDeleteLondon and Manchester are not on different time zones oh!
ReplyDeleteTrue as it may be, i think we shld leave the time zones the way they are, changing it will only bring confussion, ppl inAbuja are already used to the time and the weather. Anthony pls suggest something useful other than changing time zones.
ReplyDeleteRe-that if there is a difference in time between Manchester and London, why can't there be one here in Nigeria since the above facts can be establish?
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get this notion from? It is so incorrect.
Have you been to Maiduguri or Damaturu? You may have more to say about this when you get there.
Does London & Manchester really have different time zones?
ReplyDeleteThere's no time difference between Manchester and London.
ReplyDeletePlease there are more serious issues in Nigeria!!!
ReplyDeleteWith all the things that is happening in Nigeria, na time zone worry you pass. Pls we have better things to attend to for now. Time zone can wait.
ReplyDeleteHow weird... Pls the time zone should remain the way it is... I was born in abj,grew up there and moved to Lagos and found out it dawns early here unlike the north,and everyone is already on there way to there respective place of work... So I think its just abt getting use to a new place... The sun rises somewhere and set somewhere.... So there's nothing like +2gmt...
ReplyDeleteHe is right though. But i doubt his proposition will be taken seriously.
ReplyDeleteMr observer there's no time difference between manchester and London....do your research well. Nigeria is yet to crawl so don't bring dat!
ReplyDeleteMmmtttcchheeeew!
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo true I kept on wondering
ReplyDeleteDifference in time between manchester and London? The manchester in UK has same time as London in UK..no?
ReplyDeleteThe is the least of our problems,can we just attend to the relevant ones please? Electricity,youth empowerment,unemployment,corruption just to mention few?smh
ReplyDeleteIdiot, do you realize there is a system and method to selecting timezones? Ahan! Didn't you go to school ni?
ReplyDeleteSO we should just wake up and begin to select our own times? Nonsense and ingredients
Why call him idiot? Can't you make your point without insulting him?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHe is ryt to call him an idiot the sun rises from the east and sets at the west and abj is closer to the east than the west. ahahahahahahahahnnnn jezzz
DeleteU dnt just wake up n chnge time zones u dumbfuck,its dependent on d longitude n latitude of dt particular location....greenwich meridian divides d earth into east n west just as d equator duvides d globe into north n south..London has d same timezone as Ghana cz d same GM dt cuts tru London cuts tru Ghana....
ReplyDeleteGuess the poster didn't take his geography classes that serious. There's a specific norm guiding these things. For every 15 degrees in longitudunal difference makes up for an hour difference in time. So the big question is ...between Lag and Abuja; is their such difference?. The answer is no!
ReplyDeleteWow! Believe me, he z ryt! But dat z d least of my problem ryt nw.... I am tired of staying at home oooooo! ASUU abeg nw!
ReplyDeletePoster. America is a country and a continent. Hence the time zone difference. Africa is a continent and we have different time zones in africa. So please ehn, relax
ReplyDeleteTunde Olodo oshi.....
ReplyDeleteTime zone is based on longitudes and not waht about what time you think it is when you wake up...go back to your geography and learn and so stop feeding people with your empty, non-factual the-way-it-ought-to-be!
Nigeria is lying on longitude 3 - 15degrees. 1 hour is equivalent to 15 degree of longitudinal differences. So, tell me how can Lagos & Abuja have 2 time zones when the longitudinal differences across Nigeria is not even up to 1 hour. Mumu olodo oshi
Thank you jare.
DeletePosition of the sun is making him confused.. maybe just maybe if he goes to the eastern part he wld change it to +3 dumbooo
DeleteThank you Romeo Eze. People didn't pay attention to their Geography classes in Secondary School
ReplyDeleteThere's no time difference between Manchester n London. Pls google before making assumptions to prove a point
ReplyDeletePls share your endometriosis stories @ endochallenges.wordpress.com. Let's beat endo together !
In other news, I dont know why I have a lot of hope in this blog...I am a 23 years old graduate from the university of ibadan, I graduated with an uppet class, yet getting a job has been the most difficult thing since my NYSC, I know influential people visit this blog, biko I NEED A GOOD job.. I am a smart young girl nah...
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first post. From geography, every change in 15 degrees of longitude equals to one hour change. Nigeria fall within same degrees of longitude so it is not obtainable.
ReplyDeleteI didn't finish reading your article cos I know perfectly what you are talking about,it either you are visiting abj for the 1st time or you havnt being living here for long.it wasn't like that before I guess it is the longer night shorter day stuff,so I guess it is the season.
ReplyDeleteNa wa o. Geography in high school woulda helped the dude out. You think say na Government dey determine time zones?
ReplyDeleteppl dat av jobs would be worried about being late to work....joblessness thrives amongst youths in nigeria..i doubt if dey will be bothered about time zoning
ReplyDeleteIts not true, I live in Abuja, now its 18.14 pm and still very bright. U can't determind time zone difference by spending 3 weeks in a place
ReplyDeleteEnglish dictionary defines time zone as,"Area with same standard time: any of the 24 longitudinal areas into which the world is divided and within which the same standard time is used. So this explains why Lagos and Abuja are in the same time zone.
ReplyDeleteManchester has the same time zone with London because the distance is about 300 K.M. - 1 hour by plane,3 hours by Coach, and less than 2 hours by Train.
Per the States, the distance between New York and California (Los Angeles) is about 5,000.00 K.M., 6 hours by air and 3 hours behind New York. And Texas, which is couple of hundred Kilo meters shy of being the same size as Nigeria, is 3 hours behind New York. So stop your unnecessary false comparism and focus your attention on things that matter - the instability in Nigeria, if you can
