Your network provider adverts In the past, people fell for the “Dear customer, do you want caller tune” routine because they didn’t know better. Then people started blocking network providers’ short code numbers. The network switched to using regular numbers for their ads. Naija people had to get smarter too. 9 Likes 1 Share

Someone calling you and claiming to be a long lost friend this person will call you and claim they know you from some weird place.And you admit to knowing the name the person used, they will give you a sob story and ask you to send them money. Many Nigerians now know better than to believe a sad story told over the phone 7 Likes 1 Share

The Hausa wrong number this is the most annoying of the five this is probably in the network providers’ starter packs. Every Nigerian has at one point or the other being called by a man/woman speaking Hausa. Even after repeatedly telling them it’s a wrong number, they will keep calling. What other thing have you experienced as a mobile phone user in Nigeria? lalasticlala mynd44 75 Likes 1 Share
