In Sofon Lapai the sun rises at 6:25 AM and sets at 6:43 PM today, giving 12h 18m of daylight. Sunrise ends the Fajr window and sunset begins Maghrib, so both are prayer boundaries as well as points in the day.

Jummah is prayed in the Dhuhr window, which in Sofon Lapai runs from 12:34 PM until 3:36 PM today. The exact time is set by each mosque, not by calculation — most in this area begin between one and two hours after Dhuhr starts. Ask your own mosque; this page can only tell you the window it must fall within.
Asr begins at 3:36 PM in Sofon Lapai today and lasts until Maghrib at 6:43 PM. This page uses the Standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) position; the other reckoning gives a different time — see the question below.

Witr is prayed after Isha, which begins at 7:50 PM in Sofon Lapai, and remains valid until Fajr at 5:14 AM. If you intend to pray Tahajjud, it is better to leave Witr until the end of the night; otherwise pray it before sleeping.

Sehri ends at 5:11 AM in Sofon Lapai and iftar is at 6:43 PM. Sehri ends when Fajr begins; the time shown subtracts a few minutes as a precaution, which is the common practice in printed Ramadan calendars.
Voluntary prayer is withheld during three short windows in Sofon Lapai today: While the sun rises (6:25 AM – 6:40 AM); When the sun is at its highest (12:24 PM – 12:34 PM); While the sun sets (6:28 PM – 6:43 PM). Obligatory prayers being made up are a separate question — ask a scholar.
In Sofon Lapai today, Asr begins at 3:36 PM by the standard position (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) and at 4:51 PM by the Hanafi position. The standard position starts Asr when an object's shadow equals its own length; the Hanafi position waits until twice its length. Both are transmitted positions, and the gap between them changes with the season and the latitude.
These times use the Muslim World League method with the Standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) position for Asr. The method sets the sun-depression angles for Fajr and Isha; different methods can differ by several minutes, which is why the one in use is named on the page rather than left implicit.
They are computed astronomically from Sofon Lapai's coordinates and the Africa/Lagos timezone, and are typically within a minute or two of a local mosque timetable. Where they differ, your mosque is the one to follow — it may apply a local precaution this calculation does not.
The Qibla from Sofon Lapai is 64.9° measured clockwise from true north, which is towards the north-east. Compass apps show magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places.
Tomorrow in Sofon Lapai Fajr begins at 5:14 AM and Maghrib at 6:42 PM. The times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves, which is why the monthly timetable below is worth keeping rather than a single day.
