In the city of Lagos, the temperatures can be between 23 and 31 degrees Celsius during January. Moreover, Nigeria has experienced its highest temperature in the northern parts during the dry season which estimated to be 43 degrees Celsius and descended to 5.5 degrees during the rainy period.
Languages spoken
521 languages have been spoken in Nigeria. But the main ones are: English, Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.
Since the inception of colonial times, English has been frequently increasing amongst Nigerians. It is now estimated that 53% of the Nigeria population are now speaking fluent English with different dialects. The English language is not used in specific places; it is widespread across the country and communication happens foremost in English.
Igbo is touched by the tongue of the Igbo people. As any language, Igbo can be divided into two parts, a written form and a spoken form. The written form is derived from the Roman script and is often not used, compared to the spoken form which is constantly used.
The Yoruba people speak the Yoruba language. It has over fifteen dialects and the most dominant one is the “Standard Yoruba” The written form of Standard Yoruba is learned in school and has its origin in the 1850’s by the African bishop, Samuel Crowther.

The tertiary level is progressed in universities at a higher level. Here, students spend three years for each degree programme, First Degree, Master´s Degree and the Doctorate Degree Programme.
If we compare the Nigeria´s educational system with the UK`s we can clearly profess that the compulsory age for primary school in the UK is 5. However, in Nigeria, there is no imposed law that certificates the starting age. Instead, children start at under the age of 5 or at 6 years. The standard age is even though 6 years.
Another difference between the educational systems is the finance. In the UK, the government pays for students in school between the ages of 5-16. In Nigeria, the government only contributes of the public schools to make them cheaper. Parents also have to fund for the children who want to attend different private schools, which are in better quality compared to the public schools.
