Just when are these cafe's open? I get mail sent at 2am in the morning Lagos time. I figured they would be in the cafes during what we would consider normal business hours.

I have a source that says most Cafe's close around 8PM but depending on where you go they can be open 24 hours (Festec). The lads are starting to go wireless so they can be online anytime of day or night. Starcomms is the biggest wireless provider. Their biggest detriment is random power outages.

Some lads have their own computers or will scam from handheld devices. It's also known for some unscrupulous cafe owners to have after-hours "lock ins" for scammer lads for a cut of the lad's profits.

I do notice things are slow from the time I turn the PC on until 11-12 o'clock then they are after me again on most. I usually have 4-6 hours to do all of my replies though I am occasionally interrupted by an impatient one. Only a few of mine are after me in the mornings.

One time I googled Lagos internet cafes and in addition to the locations, they gave their hours. Some are 24, some are what we call business hours, and some have those lock-ins (unadvertised).

On Sunday mornings I think they are mostly all in church or will tell you they were.
