Am writing this page in the beginning to help explain the educational system and some slang phrases in Nigeria.
We start nursery school at the age of 4, but some parents enroll there kids to pre nursery at the age of 3. Then we start primary school from 6-11. Some schools have primary 6 so some people finish primary school at the age of 12 instead of 11.
We're in secondary school for 6 years. Secondary school is divided into junior secondary school and senior secondary school and we send three years in each.
And then we enter university or college. The years we spend is determined by the course we study.
High school - secondary school
Jss1- junior secondary school one
Jss2- junior secondary school two
Jss3- junior secondary school three
Ss1- senior secondary one
Ss2- senior secondary two
Ss3- senior secondary three
Ss3 is the highest level in secondary school. :)
Slang phrases

Amebo - This slang word is used to refer to a person who like to gossip or likes to spread gossips.
How you dey? - how are you doing today?

Wahala - problem or trouble
Dem send you? - have you been sent to torment me?
