Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. Los Angeles changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Lagos doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:

Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Lagos and Los Angeles don't overlap. The most workable window is 7 AM to 2 PM in Los Angeles, which is 3 PM to 10 PM in Lagos, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
