Timing, cities and local context
After +234, the prefix that follows tells you a great deal. Mobile numbers begin with 7, 8, or 9 after the country code — MTN numbers commonly run 0803, 0806, 0813, 0816 domestically (dropping the leading zero gives you the +234 format); Airtel uses 0802, 0808; Glo runs 0805, 0807. These aren't rigid anymore given number portability, but the 08x and 09x mobile pattern is unmistakable. Geographic landlines use area codes: 1 for Lagos, 9 for Abuja, 64 for Port Harcourt. Fixed lines primarily serve corporate offices in those cities; personal use of landlines is negligible across the country. Callers reaching Lagos or Abuja businesses should ask specifically for the 01 or 09 office number, as it's typically cheaper from abroad than the staff member's mobile.
Nigeria runs on West Africa Time (UTC+1) year-round. From the UK that's no gap in winter and one hour ahead in summer — calls between Nigeria and the large Nigerian diaspora in London are as close to real-time convenient as any international pair. Business hours in Lagos run roughly 8 AM to 5 PM, but Lagos traffic is severe enough that many professionals are essentially unreachable during their commute and prefer calls made after they've settled in. Corporate landlines (01 for Lagos) typically carry lower international rates than mobile and are worth using for any business in the city with a fixed line. Independence Day on October 1 and the Christmas-to-New-Year stretch both see substantial business closures. In the north, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha affect availability differently than in Lagos or Port Harcourt — factor those in if your contact is in Kano or Kaduna.
