Nairalanders, I was invited for an interview to one of these network provider centres, then i was asked what is sim card called in my language？hahahaha my people, i never knew the answer till today.
In igbo, hausa,yoruba and others please help me out what is sim card called in your language？

I don't know in my language but in hausa I guess it's called sim cadt, the 'd' is slightly pronounced

Language dated way back before telecom came to Nigeria. So, everyone freestyle's the name.

They just wanted to test your language creativity and reasoning ability. No language in Nigeria has a perfect name for sim card because it isn't an indigeneous word here but there are ways of converting non-indigeneous words or names to local words. I am a Benin guy. In Benin language,every noun must start with a vowel. A non-living noun must start with vowel ''e'' or ''i'' in the Benin letters of alphabet. For ''sim card'', it becomes ''esim card''
