shakablaiize: Telephone service was provided by P&T (Posts And Telecoms) which became Nitel in 1985. There were area codes - Ikoyi was 68, Victoria Island was 61, Lagos Island was 62, Festac was 88, Ikeja was 97, etc. You had to wait for a dialling tone before you could make a call. We were lucky, the government paid our phone bill. There were huge telephone books (1978, 1979, 1982 and 1983) and you could find people's phone numbers with the telephone books. Some short codes were 199 (emergency), 198 (speaking clock), but I can't remember what the ring back short code was. You had to book international calls with the operator. 44 Likes 2 Shares |

One of the best novel that I have read is, " African Night Entertainment". I can't even remember the author sef. We also had great novels like the drummer boy, passport of mallam Ilia, born without the silver spoon and so many others. I noticed that if I don't read for a day, I find it difficult to carry out a decent conversation. 4 Likes |

naptu2: You are quite right. He used to trek alll the streets on Epetedo then. from Freeman, Osho, Cow-lane, igbosere, Oshodi, upto Lewis, Hawley, Simpson etc. He'll curse anyone that there call him 'Kokoro', though I wouldn't know why then. He was a walking miracle then. May God grant his soul eternal rest 11 Likes 2 Shares |
