I know of my neighbour who was a then member of the Nigerian Senate who used to buy new Thuraya phones for girls mostly schooling at UNIPORT after they had slept with him countlessly. #vanityuponvanity

1991. (There has always been some form of mobile telephony, since the 1970s at least, but it was in 1991 that it was integrated with the regular phone network [the 090 phones])

Nitel launched a post-paid analog mobile telephone system in Nigeria in 1991. The phone numbers began with the code "090", so they were known as "nought-nine-nought phones". The signals were broadcast from Saka Tinubu and somewhere in Ikeja (there were no cell towers all over the place).

Motorola MicroTAC 9800X

Ericsson Hotline 900 Pocket

Of course there have always been radio phones (dating back to the 1970s at least). Chief Abiola had a radio phone in his Mercedes Benz W126 limousine.

Nitel had a monopoly of the mobile phone industry from 1991 to sometime around 1996 when other companies (multilinks, intercellular, etc) were allowed to provide mobile phone services.

Babes that lost their virginity or slept with multiple guys to raise the money to buy any of these fones will be feeling not so cool. Lesson learned, good things are yet to be invented & nothing lasts for ever.
