Amaechi may be in the western part of Nkanu but it's under Enugu South LGA of Nigeria.

Well don't know abt that but we have two Amaechi's! Amaechi Idodo which is in Nkanu east LG then Amaechi Awkunanaw which is in Nkanu west LG. We only had one Nkanu LG before but it was later divided into East and West.
Ekene Okenwa from Akpugo is the recent Nkanu west LG chairman while Pastor Sam Iyiogwe from Ubahu is equally the recent Nkanu east LG chairman.

I don't know much about the local government system in Enugu but i'm positive that Amaechi, Awkunanaw is part of Enugu South. I even went to their secretariat once. isn't it possible that Nkanu West was divided and Enugu South was created from it #Justsaying. Btw, Mr. Nwabueze Okafor is the chairman of Enugu South from what I got on google.

Looks like 042 is the zip code of the state.
But how come its only people from Enugu I see repping their city with this code?

Anyways, I rep my city!
084 for life! cheesy

You're wrong. Most people who rep Enugu are not even from there but just live there.

042 isn't the zip code. It was the NITEL land line dialling code for Enugu state. Lagos was 01, Abuja 09, Owerri 083, PH 084 and so on. My father was a senior manager with NITEL.

I thought it was your maternal side that is Ikwerre?

Well, it's all the same thing.
Zip code is the telephone code of that area. Could be used by NITEL, Starcomms etc.
All the example you gave are all the zip codes and telephone codes of the specified area.

I'm born Ikwerre, albeit I spent most of my life in Onitsha, maternized in Nnobi

Not really. Just that Enugu is the place to be proud of. Anybody who was born, grew up there or lives there will automatically feel the need to rep the place. Just as non-lagosians rep Lagos state.

Zip code and telephone/dialling codes are not the same things. While telephone code, also called area code, is used in telecommunications systems(landline and mobile calling), zip code, on the other hand, is a system of postal codes used by a country's postal service. Zip codes are assigned by the postal services to each state to help in the delivery of mails.

Enugu's telephone/area code is 042 while its zip code is 40001.

I noticed so many people tend to confuse area code with zip code a lot, especially in Nigeria.

Maternized in Nnobi...your maternal home is Nnobi right?

Nice to have a proud Ikwerre Igbo brother. cool

Well, if that is the case, it means that I'm also guilty of it.
Telephone code is what I actually meant.

I got accustomed to Anambra state, having spent most of my life in Onitsha, that one would hardly know that I'm from Rivers.
In my town at Igwuruta, we have many proud Ikwerre Igbo, and my family isn't left out smiley

You guys at Igruita are close to the airport and it seems your area is part of the New Port-hacourt city that Amaechi is building...I remember an Igruita man that owed my father money in the 90s and till date he hasn't paid.
