To everything, there is a history and a story attached, we will be looking at the history of telephones in Nigeria before we have our blackberries, Androids , tablets etc, ..
i won't be starting from the days of Alexander graham bell when he created the telephone but I am going to start from a point where telephones have a more defining structure..from the 1930s
when Nigeria started rocking telephones

1. The era of the desk set

Do you still remember seeing this phone gathering dust on your grandfather's shelf or you saw it in a museum?, this is actually a DESK SET telephone rocked in the 1930s to the 1950s, you would agree with me that those who rocked this phones are either old or dead,those days, you have to be rich before you can have one of this piece in your house, but after some time when newer editions came out, it became cheap and free for all,now this telephones are now antiques and you are lucky if you have this piece of art in your house.
