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, th= ese 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 ti= cket 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.
