Oya let me explain one thing….African time
In Nigeria, the humorous concept of “African Time” refers to a relaxed approach to punctuality, where events rarely start at their scheduled time. Nigerians often joke about weddings beginning hours late because even the bride and groom are running on “African time,” or church services delayed because the pastor himself arrives after most of the congregation.
Funny anecdotes circulate about people intentionally arriving late, knowing that being punctual would mean waiting alone for hours. Rather than causing frustration, this cultural quirk has become a source of laughter and entertainment, with friends playfully reminding each other that an event set for 2 PM actually means arriving at 4 PM or later.
