My main line is an MTN line that I've used for more than a decade. I can't even remember when I started using it, but it's before 2010. I have retrieved It severally due to phone loss. But my experience with wrong number always leaves a bitter taste...

Two weeks ago, a lady told me on facebook that she blocked me on WhatsApp and deleted my contact; I tried to message her but it wasn't going through. When I asked her, she said she called my line and a woman picked it and told her she's married with kids. After calling severally...the woman warned her not to call again.

I do receive calls severally from people who call me different names and with full confidence of the destination they're trying to reach. Some will just call and start talking without verifying who they are speaking to. I have severally been a barrister. Severally a generator technician etc. This is not a case of only those Hausas, I am called by people of different backgrounds.

What prompted me to create this post now is a call I received few minutes ago. The caller is trying to reach Ifeanyi. He doesn't believe that I don't know who Ifeanyi is. He has called three times urging me to give the phone to the owner.

I remember a time a girl called and started to abuse me thinking I'm one uncle of hers.

Does anyone have similar experience? Please share

Lol...it's normal in Nigeria...na aboki manini common pass

Na de Mallams' own de vex me pass.

They will not confirm who de d call and they will start rambling

MTN and others have to explain this issue.

Mtn dishing out welcome back sims to new users reeks stupidity... I bought a new sim recently and upon backing up my contacts, i met the old contacts of someone who used the sim... People call me almost everyday saying they want to speak with one person or the other

MTN and their wacky network..
Na so one girl come dey provoke for me unto say I dey stalk her,person I no know from DJ Cuppy..

I've had my fair share of this wrong number issue. I don't bother myself this days, I just hang up once I notice we both don't know each other. If the caller insist on calling, I jejely block am. Can't let you kill my battery for me

Go make a complaint at any MTN official store close to you.

Just this morning someone called me and here is the convo;

Caller: Omo! Guy! I'm so very sorry to hear about your Dad. Pls let me know if I can help in anyway

Me: (I almost said wrong n..........) Ok bro I'll keep u posted. I appreciate.

I've called my old boy, dude is doing pretty good. Now I've typed and untyped my account number more than 50times within the last 4hours to send to this unknown destiny helper. As a matter of fact my gas just finish

I had similar experience last month.

About 4 Hausa guys mistakenly called my number that day.

Nothing work in Nigeria. I no even hear any musician dey sing 9ja go beta again.

All I know is that when a wrong number called you it is usually an Hausa person... When you call a wrong number it is still an Hausa person that will pick ;

I don't understand....

Same here.

Same thing happen with my line sometimes ago.
The woman called speaking in Igbo I told her I don’t understand before she speak English which I told her I’m not who she’s trying to reach. She disnt believe called 5times I blocked her ass when she’s strong headed.
Aboki own na normal.

. Say hi if you had never received a call(s) from Aboki since phone came into 9ja......

Someone can not dial a wrong number in peace for once hoping it would be the number of the daughter of one notable, wealthy Nigerian without hearing Salam maleku from the other side

Although Nigeria's telecom sector has improved, especially facilities, a lot of work needs to be done.

Mine is my Airtel line, aboki people wan kill me

Hausa known for wrong number
Igbos known for am almost there
Yoruba shouting on phone
This country is a full comedy channel

It means you're sharing same number with different people,,,,,happens mostly with MTN.

if you become inactive with their line within 3 - 6 months, they will resell your number

Nothing works right in Nigeria......e be like say na swear.. chaiii

Network glitch sometimes

T

Once an aboki calls you. The first word is salamaleku
