"Follow rigid time schedules" is all about industrialization and the spread of railways. That's all there is to it. That's why people have been caring about that since 200 years ago in the U.S. and not at all in places like Nigeria.

That may well be, but it does not change the cultural link of it today among people who have grown up in industrialised cities with extensive railways and still apply 'African time'.

That cultural aspects can change quickly does not mean they don't exist.
