What roles did families play in a west African society?

Traditional (pre Christian & pre Islam) animistic religion in West Africa places strong emphasis on ancestor worship. In Nigeria, for example, the traditional religion is called "juju." Juju beliefs and practices are at the root of voudoun/voodoo in the New World. People who practice juju believe the world is infused with the spirits of the dead, including dead family members. Just as with living people, this spirit/ghost world is populated by both good and evil spirits who must be appeased if one is to live a fortunate life. For example, in Nigeria it is traditional for someone drinking palm wine to pour a few drops of it on the ground before drinking. This ritual honors the spirit of Ile (pronounced EE-lay), the goddess believed to be the creator of all good things in nature. Families may perform similar rituals to honor their dead relatives.

How come actors or actresses from tv shows aren't popular when the series end?

Frequently, actors and actress in television roles get typecasted. That means when they play a role in a television show and are really good at it, people don't want to hire them for other roles because they might not be as good. If a television actor or actress spends several years playing a cop on television, they might only be offered roles in other T.V. series or films to play cops. If they are tired of playing a cop, they turn down these offers and disappear from the public eye.
