First, read your text materials and these sites carefully.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-Saharan_Africa#Languages_and_ethnic_groups

http://www.faqs.org/minorities/Sub-Saharan-Africa/Sub-Saharan-Africa.html

http://geography.about.com/od/culturalgeography/a/linguafranca.htm

Take notes on facts that will help answer the question. Be sure to formulate a good thesis statement that essentially answers the question.
