--- Comment #1 from Rafal Luzynski <digitalfreak at lingonborough dot com> ---
Thank you for filing this bug report and the patch. Please note that, as the
current comment says, t_fmt_ampm should remain empty unless 12-hour clock is
actually used in that locale. Our authoritative source is CLDR. en_NG is
supported but it is highly incomplete. [1] The part which is our source for
time formats is called "Formats - Standard - Time Formats". If you look at
other Nigerian locales in CLDR like ha_NG [2] or ig_NG [3] or yo_NG [4] they
also suggest that the typical time format is 24-hour. On the other hand, these
locales in glibc use 12-hour format in t_fmt_ampm.

Please explain who is wrong here. If CLDR is wrong then we should file a ticket
in CLDR. We need some official (scientific, government, etc.) sources to
convince CLDR.

Also, you need am_pm field if you want to use t_fmt_ampm.
