All Africans venerate the Great Spirit, no matter if they practice traditional African traditions, or Christianity or Islam. In Africa practicing an Abrahamic faith doesn’t conflict with African traditions

[@fruitsarelife148]

Partly right, partly wrong. We do have african countries failing because of abrahamic religion becoming radical.

[@shawnhall3849]

Peace 1 True, I’m just saying it doesn’t conflict with Africans practicing indigenous African tradition. But it’s detrimental in destroying the country. But christians do begin to believe that something like voodoo is evil or devil worship

Hi Brother! I am a recent subscriber and I love your way of empowering young black youth about their history, and heritage and is also a very genius way to give back to Mama Afrika, by telling our story as is.

I don’t think most Africans trace matrilineal. It’s only Akans when it comes to Ghana. Never heard of any other west Africans who are matrilineal, maybe Fulani. Almost all are patrilineal. I could be wrong but it’s actually Matrilineal that’s unique.

[@seismicvertigo345]

Yes, many in Nigeria trace patrilineal

[@cheendo7400]

Sometimes he is dead wrong. 99.9% of Africa is patrilineal. However it is different in Ghana and Malawi. Some tribes in these countries are matrilineal.

[@cheendo7400]

Eugene Sanou And you are saying the whole of west Africa is Islamic? Who are you?

[@asanteakan70]

Eugene Sanou state the ethnic groups who were matrilineal pre Islam. There are many Christians groups who were patrilineal as well it’s not only Muslims. In Ghana GA, Ewe were patrilineal before they turned Christian.

[@asanteakan70]

Eugene Sanou that’s interesting I did read about those people in seerer in Senegal, I always felt there was cultural similarities between Akans in the old west African empires. An Arab traveler explained the a culture very similar to Akans. But I don’t think other groups from Nigeria etc were matrilineal at any point. I’m going to look for others who had it. We until this day pass down from our mothers side and our kings sons don’t become kings but either their brother or sister son from their mother side. No other group does this in Ghana. It’s also said we moved down to the forest to escape the Islamization so maybe there is might be something to this.

They are related. Hausa were forced to coexist with touaregs and Fulani but Songhai were independent throughout. Hence the difference between them

The songhai became Muslim mostly through trade with North Africans. The empire preceding the Songhai Empire (Mali Empire) was when this transition took place with rulers becoming Muslim.

[@MsFrancois1]

Actually, the Kanuri speak a Nilo-Saharan language and live in West Africa. Also, Maiga's book on the Songhay is really bad. He interprets quite literally oral traditions without showing any real critical engagement. I suggest one should use with caution anything from his book
