As well as many other religions/likewise, traditional religions belong to those, whom practicing and celebrating life-cycle rituals play an essential role throughout the one’s life. In Africa; for example, the most popular yet well-known rituals such as, birth, coming of age, marriage, and death in general concepts are reasonably extensive between each other. First, the native African civilizations and their pattern of performing life-cycle practices are frequently initiated as some type of contributions to the familial/ancestral spirits. These offered gifts are a combination of food such as pumpkins, honey, and yams, with different beverages; for example, water or something stronger left at the worship places “… taken out and poured over the ancestral, burial ground” (Sinaiko, xli).

The boys name is Octavian and he is the prince of an African nation that his mother had to leave while she was still pregnant with Octavian. Octavian learns that he and his mother are slaves and that he is the purpose of a scientific experiment.

But lives are not. We must spare people the ordeal of war, mutilations and death for the sake of conflict diamonds”(Conflict Diamonds-UN- 1). Conflict diamonds and African customs are powerful enough and most likely to tear a family apart.
