Lagos Business Pulse

Culture High-energy and entrepreneurial. "The hustle" is a way of life, and business is fast-moving.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip The "sweet spot" for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Be extremely patient with technical issues (power/internet) and have a backup plan like WhatsApp. Lagosians are very entrepreneurial; if you reach them, expect a fast-paced and pragmatic conversation.

Tokyo Business Pulse

Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (business card exchange) are central.
Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
