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

Improved what, 4g network browsing like 3g. Too much internet buffering. There's nothing to be proud of in Nigeria.

I rather receive call from Aboki than from Igbo/Yoruba scammers/Yahoo.

Its better than 17 to 20 years ago

1.when to browse was a big struggle due to slow internet speeds.

2. When calling an Mtn line from an econet line was trobulesome

3. When calling a Nitel line from a GSM line was bothersome

4. When there was zero home internet .

Weve come a long way.

So this is an achievement to be proud of by being lazy all the years. Go and see what small countries in Africa are doing it will shock you. 17 years should be more better than this mediocrity. Your neighboring countries in Africa are building telephony for more than 300,000 rural dwellers in the village to use network to enhance businesses to grow. If you don't know Nigeria is very backwards in every thing.
Countries in Africa have past this stage of poor network in cities they're dealing in villages now.

And Nigeria has 216 million lines, inclding telephony in rural areas.

I don't know about you, but the village i served in for NYSC had phone service.Many villages in Nigeria have GSM service.

Internet penetrance too is growing.

Beleive in your country a bit more.

Things have improved. It is not like the 1980's when to make an interntional call, one had to go to the 'phone exchange'...or the 1990's when for a nation of 90million then we had 300000 phone lines.

I thought the Mallam thingy was peculiar to my MTN line.

Now I know that I am not alone.

Lol... this is normal in Nigeria, it’s not new. But do you know what is new
It’s now easy for you to Send or receive money from any bank with zero account maintenance fee. SME I think this is for you jump on it https://on.fcmb.com/online-account-business3

I received calls from Hausa mainly and even when I tell them it's a wrong number they will keep calling for days. So I don't bother mysef anymore,once I tell them it's a wrong number, I block them. Shikina.

I've had my own share of experiences. Mostly from those Igbo inyamuri flathea,ds. I had to change my line at one point.

not only mtn line o. Mine is glo

It can be so annoying

My brother me I'm tired of Yoruba, Fulani and hausa calling my glo and speaking different types of languages to me
