Nigerian Phone Number Validator (JS)

Issues and pull requests welcome.

NOTE: The network resolution function can't be accurate because Nigeria implemented Mobile Number Portability in 2013, so the number prefix cannot be reliably used to determine operator anymore.

A JS package to validate and format a Nigerian phone number as well as deduce the network provider or area code.
