The continent        its hundreds of ethnic (种族) groups. The three largest ethnic groups are the Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. They are all in west Africa.

Modern and well-developed roads are common everywhere. You can also spend a day in a large shopping mall or taste delicious seafood in a restaurant.
