In Nigeria, there are three main religions recognised by the people; Christianity, Islam and the traditional religion.
The above are basically three religions in Nigeria. Two of them are quite popular while it does seem like the third is fading away with each passing day.
These religions have differences that have brought about unrest as the tolerance level has got to a point of polarity. The various unrests have led to national insecurity of the country.

Besides these three religions, there are others that are considered minor and only exist in certain part of the country. We have: Jewish Religion (Judaism), Hinduism, Satanism, Buddhism, Atheism.
I can say a whole lot about the three Main Religion of Nigeria, the other five are hardly practiced in broad day light.
I consider Christianity as the dominant religion in Nigeria owing to the number of churches spread all over the country. Nigeria is currently considered the world headquarter of the church.
The second religion would be the Islam, practiced by over 80% of the Hausa group in Northern Nigeria, About 48% of the Yoruba Ethnic group in western Nigeria and a small percentage of the people in the middle belt.
The last would be the traditional religion.
While over 85 percent of Nigerians are either Christians or Muslims, there is a small fraction that have remained in the traditional religion.
Over 90 percent of our grand fathers where in the traditional religion until Islam and Christianity was introduced in Nigeria.
