Why people convert Nigeria to Kuala Lumpur time

Scheduling a call from Nigeria to Kuala Lumpur: a 10:00 AM start in Nigeria lands at 5:00 PM in Kuala Lumpur, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Nigeria and Kuala Lumpur are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM WAT time (4:00 PM–5:00 PM MYT). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
Coordinating a Nigeria-based team with Kuala Lumpur contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WAT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +7h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–10:00 AM WAT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Nigeria and need Kuala Lumpur colleagues present.
