A Nigerian lady identified as Ada, has commenced the search of a man known as Michael, whom she accidentally gave an incorrect phone number to when they met at the Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport, Abuja.
She revealed that they were both traveling to the Turkey on 1st of July but she was connecting to the United Kingdom from there while he was going to Ankara.
According to Ada, she gave him her UK number and was waiting for his call but it never came, so she crosschecked and realised that she made the error of inputing +440 dialing code instead of +44.
She said that she really likes Michael and he may have thought that she intentionally gave him a wrong number. The young lady called out to him online asking that he should either try the number with the correct code or contact he through her email which she provided.

i got none. I just realised now that there is a mix up in the number i gave him. I added +440 (and my number), instead of removing the “0”. It would have been +447…. (my number, without a Zero).
Just like when you want to call a Nigerian number from overseas you dial… You dial +23480…, without putting “080”. Because he doesn’t stay in the UK his mind may not tell him to removed the Z. He might even assume i gave him a wrong number, which I didn’t.
We had a few minutes conversation and we had a connection… I really like him. Michael if you’re here i’ll really appreciate if you take off the zero after “44” and call/text me, or send me a mail.”
