Add other cities you need to compare: Click “+ Add City” and search for cities such as London, New York, or Dubai. These are practical comparison points for trade, banking, logistics, and diaspora communication, since Nigerian businesses often coordinate with UK partners, US clients, and Gulf-based import/export contacts.
Drag across the timeline to compare a meeting window: Click “Select” if needed, then drag on Ode’s 24-hour grid to highlight a time block, such as 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Ode. That selection lets you instantly see that the same window is typically 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in London during UK winter, 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM in New York during Eastern Standard Time, and 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM in Dubai, helping you avoid scheduling a call in the middle of someone’s night.
Export and share the selected time range: After selecting a time block, use the export options shown on the page: ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially useful for sending a confirmed meeting slot to a supplier, remote contractor, or family member so everyone sees the appointment in their own local time without manual conversion errors.
About Ode Time Zone
Ode, Nigeria uses the Africa/Lagos IANA time zone. Its standard offset is UTC+1, meaning local time in Ode is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year. Nigeria does not observe daylight saving time, so Ode stays on UTC+1 in January, June, and every other month.
Ode is located in Nigeria, in the country’s southwestern region, where the national civil time is uniform across all states and cities. Unlike countries that span multiple time zones, Nigeria uses a single official time standard nationwide, so Ode shares the same clock time as Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Benin City, and Kano.
In regional terms, Ode is aligned with much of West-Central Africa on UTC+1, but it differs from nearby countries that use UTC+0 or seasonal daylight changes elsewhere in Europe. For example, Ghana stays on UTC+0 year-round, so Ode is always 1 hour ahead of Accra, while the time difference between Ode and London changes seasonally because the UK switches between GMT (UTC+0) and BST (UTC+1).
Ode City Details
Ode has a population of 75,463, making it a mid-sized Nigerian city with local commercial and community activity that follows standard West Africa Time business patterns. For practical scheduling, that usually means government offices, schools, markets, and many private businesses are most active during daytime hours roughly between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM local time.
The city’s coordinates are 7.7899° N, 5.7117° E, placing it in southwestern Nigeria. This geographic position puts Ode inland within the same national time framework used across Nigeria, with no local time variation from other major Nigerian cities despite distance within the country.
The local currency is the Nigerian naira (NGN), which is the currency used for everyday transactions, hotel payments, transport, and retail purchases in Ode. Nigeria’s country dialing code is +234, so international callers trying to reach a person or business in Ode must use +234 before the local number.
Time Differences from Ode

For business coordination, the most practical overlap for Ode is often with London mornings, Dubai midday, and New York early morning only if the Ode side schedules later in the day. A slot like 2:00 PM in Ode works out to 1:00 PM in London in winter / 2:00 PM in summer, 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM in New York depending on season, and 5:00 PM in Dubai, which is often better for international meetings than an early Ode morning slot.
