Telephone service was provided by P&T (Posts And Telecoms) which became Nitel in 1985. There were area codes - Ikoyi was 68, Victoria Island was 61, Lagos Island was 62, Festac was 88, Ikeja was 97, etc.

You had to wait for a dialling tone before you could make a call. We were lucky, the government paid our phone bill.

There were huge telephone books (1978, 1979, 1982 and 1983) and you could find people's phone numbers with the telephone books.

Some short codes were 199 (emergency), 198 (speaking clock), but I can't remember what the ring back short code was.

You had to book international calls with the operator.

These were all continuity announcers on NTA2 Channel 5 (back when we had "duty continuity announcers).

Efunsheke Merriman-Johnson was my favourite. She's from the Merriman-Johnson family of Lagos/Sierra Leone. She had absolutely perfect diction.

Patrick Ugbe was a baby-faced announcer on NTA2 Channel 5. He later became the Commissioner of Information in Cross River State (either in the Donald Duke administration or the military government before it). I hear that he is now the MD of a radio station in Cross River State.

Shola Adewunmi was also a continuity announcer on NTA2 Channel 5. He disappeared and reappeared on AIT in 1996 and then disappeared again.

Geena Ikpe is the youngest of them. She became a continuity announcer in 1990 or 1991. I think she still works at the NTA and her name is now Geena Udeme-Etuk.
