Best Answer

Since it's in the heart of West Africa, it's a virtually all-black country with tiny populations of European, Lebanese, and Indian expatriates, but it has over 250 distinct language groups, and just as many ethnicities. The major ethnicities are the Hausa and Fulani of the northern region, most of whom are Muslim, the Ibo of the southeast, who are mostly Christian or animist, and the Yoruba of the southwest, who are divided into Christian, Muslim and animist groups.
