Why Nigeria changes the answer

X posts do not perform on one universal clock. This page uses Nigeria as the audience default, then converts that behavior into the publisher timezone selected in the calculator.

Timezone basisAfrica/LagosKeeps audience time separate from publisher time
What to compareLocal converted windowsTest the same format before changing countries

X/Twitter timing signals to watch

X timing is shaped by timeline decay and reply velocity. A useful post needs enough active readers to reply, repost, or quote before the conversation moves on.
