Ancient African societies developed towns that served as centers of government, trade, and crafts. Towns were ruled by kings who held audiences and maintained order in exchange for taxes and trade. Extended families and lineage groups provided the basic social structure, and while women held important economic roles, societies were usually patriarchal. Religions varied but often involved belief in supreme beings, ancestors, and an afterlife. Slavery, trade, and the spread of Islam impacted African cultures over this period.

African cultures ppt
There are three major religions in Africa: traditional beliefs, Christianity, and Islam. Traditional African beliefs vary between ethnic groups but generally involve worship of spirits, gods, and ancestors as well as sacrifice. Ethnic groups each have their own languages, customs, and religions, with Arabs predominantly following Islam and groups like the Ashanti and Bantu typically practicing traditional religions that incorporate ancestral worship and spiritual elements.
African culture
Africa has immense cultural diversity due to its large size and geographical barriers separating peoples. [1] This has led to hundreds of distinct cultures within various nations and the use of European languages as official government languages. [2] Traditional African cultures place heavy emphasis on extended families and community over the individual. [3] Marriage customs, roles of family members, and beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife vary significantly between different ethnic groups across the continent.

American Culture In Kenya
Here are a few key differences between Kenyans and Nigerians that may help dispel stereotypes:
Kenyans tend to have a more reserved demeanor compared to the outgoing nature of many Nigerians. Kenyans often value composure and restraint, conducting themselves in a calm, thoughtful manner. Nigerians, on the other hand, have a reputation for being lively, energetic and enthusiastic. Their "happy-go-lucky" spirit is on full display.
Family and community play a central role in both cultures, but Nigerians demonstrate their connections more outwardly. Large, boisterous gatherings with singing, dancing and celebration are commonplace. Kenyans express warmth and belonging in quieter family settings.
