Difference between zip code and call code

I was moved to post this for the benefit of those who do not know as it just cost a friend and international job placement .....pls also tell your friends so you dont have to feel the way am feeling now:
nigerian zip code is: 00176-0000 while its the nigerian calling code that is +234, pls take note it could even be asked in interviews.

BE RIGHTLY INFORMED AND ON TIME!

Hmmmmm! Zip code.

You dont want to know how many people find that confusing.

yes dear thats why i decided to post it here for all to see,because for my friend its a topic he will never forget in his life....it was really a shame after scaling through tough exams and recruitment exercise.....only to be flawed by so cheap a question! something each one of us should learn from....

I think there is a misunderstanding here. there is no zip code for Nigeria only postal code. The postal code for Surulere where I stay is 101014, got dis online long time ago. I can't remember where but I googled it. The first link is for every1 to understand d concept of dis codes properly. The second link is to confirm d postal code 101014 and try to confirm which ever u find. U can also try guessing and see d location u will get.

Link 2

From the link1, they said zip n postal code are the same. This whole zip/postal thing is confusing. There was a time a google it and the info i got varied from one another. Pls how do i find the zip code for my location. I tried link 2 and it gave me other locations and not mine.

@Faithlarge, use d second link to know ur postal code by entering ur L.G.A in d dialogue box meant for L.G.A then click on search. Note dat it is all d same but in Nigeria, it is call postal code. In d US, it is called zip code.

@blackadam, 10x bro. u've hit d pt.
