The country you are referring to is Nigeria, where the three main tribes are the Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo. The Hausa primarily practice Islam and are predominantly located in the northern region. The Yoruba are mainly found in the southwest and practice a mix of Christianity and traditional religions, while the Igbo, residing in the southeast, predominantly practice Christianity.
