Most of Nairalanders here were not born during the era. So it will amaze them seeing the phone. This was the era we usually patronised NITEL.

In our house, you dared not touch it. That old man will pluck your ears.

Thank God for Obasanjo who introduced GSM, the Man who brought civilization to Nigeria in area of telecommunication.

That's why we need to join the rest of the world to celebrate our ICON, the living Legend Irunmale ti n mu goldberg: OBJ @ 80

Lol this reminds me of 1991 when I visited my uncle in Lagos. He had that land phone (1st pic) in his sitting room, so one of my Aunts who was on London called and she wanted to talk to me . I was reading a novel (ogboju ode ninu Igbo Irunmole by D.O Fagunwa ) beside the phone table when the strange sound of the phone rang lol I jump up and I wanted to run out of the sitting room bfre our housemaid call me back that its the phone that was ringing , she picked the call lol and behold the caller wanted to speak with me. I was panic when she gave the phone to me and when. I picked and say "hello' for the first time I heard "Bawo ni mosco aunty e lo nsoro lati ilu oyinbo" guess what I did


I prostrated and say in Jenifa's voice "Mummy eku ojo meta o,Se daada ni eyin ati awon oyinbo wa gegebi emi na se Wa loni'

After the call, the housemaid and everybody in the house were making mock of me. chaiii man u crack me up early this morning

No b my fault sa, I grew up in village

Cutehector:
In Nigeria we belittle things too much.. Don't u go to banks and see them using land lines? Over their abroad land lines are still very much in vogue Jor.. Am tired of our mentality
