Did you delete your contacts from the device b4 or what happened?
Anyways, here's one:
Contacts > Menu /Options> Import/Export > Import from storage > Google account.

Edited:
If you don't know how to get to Menu/options, just follow this: Settings > System Apps > Contacts > Import/Export contact and follow the rest of the instructions
I'm still having difficulty setting it up no Google account to check

Eeyah. Thank you. Was discussing with a friend and we had a kind of funny argument. I opined that if nitel was well managed and stil in existence till date, Internet subscription would hav been freaking cheap cos there would have been mad ass competition between private telcos and government telcos, with government own having a tendency of providing cheaper service. So the private ones will be forced to make more enticing offers....
