African Tradition in the Diaspora-Dead or Modified?

african tradition

My African/American friend and I have been getting into silly arguments about African tradition. He maintains that African tradition is even more prominent in the States that anywhere else in Africa.

According to him, African/Americans lately are the main crusaders of our tradition. With old and new celebrities in the west wearing more and more African print than even in Ghana and other Africans.

This is true I admit but surely we have equalized because the trend of wearing African prints is now well entrenched back home. We now have everything African from clothes to shoes, bags, hair clips…everything!

Then he goes on to talk about how many more Africans in the diaspora enjoy African music and movies. They actually send people coming home to get them movies and there is a good market for African movies out there.

Ghanaians especially delight in stocking up on all movies from Ghana. From Agya Koo to Yvonne Nelson movies. It sometimes doesn’t even matter if the movie is a good one. As long as it is from Ghana, they will watch to stay connected to the motherland. It reconnects them with what they left behind and comforts them. Sometimes the people in these movies and musicians even get more popular abroad that at home. Same applies with Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and others.

Got me thinking, true talk coming from him right there. Even with African food…

People travel miles abroad to find African food, and most Africans and African/Americans live together. They seek out the unity in each other whereas back home, we are constantly looking to tear each other down.

He went on to talk about traditional practices like the pouring of Libation.

OBS: Australian Gambler Takes Casino To Court After He Lost £1Billion In 14 Months

Harry Kakavas

The first thing I said after reading this is; What an IDIOT!

Harry Kakavas , a high rolling gambler who lost a whopping $1.5 billion (£1billion) in just 14 months has taken a casino to court in an attempt to get back just a tiny fraction of his losses.

Harry Kakavas, a real-estate salesman who made a fortune selling houses on Australia’s Gold Coast, claims Melbourne’s Crown Casino were aware he had a gambling problem but took advantage of his ‘special disability’.

Stuff Reports;

A man who gambled away almost A$1.5 billion (NZ$1.85b) in 14 months at Melbourne’s Crown Casino has begun his fight in Australia’s highest court to win back a small fraction of his losses.

Gold Coast businessman Harry Kakavas, described in the High Court this week as Australia’s “highest of high rollers”, claims Crown knew he was a pathological gambler but lured him back anyway to take advantage of his “special disability”.

The court heard that between June 2005 and August 2006, Kakavas spent A$1.479b (NZ$1.85b)  at Crown, winning and losing vast sums, often on hands of baccarat that took just seconds to play.

During one “frenetic” stint in May 2006, Kakavas spent a staggering A$164 million (NZ$200m) in just five and a half hours.

His attempts to recover losses of A$20.5 million (NZ$25m) from Crown failed in Victoria’s Supreme Court and on appeal in May last year.

His last chance lies with the High Court, which is being asked to consider whether Crown took “unconscionable advantage” of their most lucrative Australian client by letting him gamble despite his addiction.

Allan Myers QC, representing Kakavas, said his client had been clinically diagnosed as a pathological gambler with a severely impaired ability to make rational decisions at the betting table.

He always played the highest amounts possible, borrowed millions from banks, friends and family and even served a brief jail sentence for stealing A$286,000 (NZ$350,000) to keep up his habit.

Kakavas also gambled in Las Vegas and once flew a jet on a whim to Macau where he lost as much as US$4 million (NZ$4.8m) in just a day, the court heard.

“What the evidence demonstrates… (is) that this was a man who did not and could not control his urge to gamble and Crown knew it,” Myers said.

Kakavas tried to manage his problem through therapy, having himself barred from casinos and bringing smaller amounts of money to bet.

But Myers said Crown made concessions, allowing the high roller to bet A$300,000 (NZ$370,000) per hand on baccarat and driving him to the bank to withdraw more money after he lost A$1 million (NZ$1.2m).
