Why did Ghana's kings practice both Islamic and their own traditional religion?

Ghana's Kings did not practice both religions at the same time. They first practiced local traditional religions and when Islam arrived in Ghana, they converted to Islam, but kept some distinctive touches from their traditional religions. They did not start as Muslims since Islam had not reached them yet. They converted to Islam because they were convinced it was correct. They kept small touches of their original religion out of loyalty to their history, culture, and those Ghanians who had not converted to Islam.

Muslims in Ghana are minority while in Mali they are majority. In Ghana percentage of Muslims is only 15.9 % (~3.8 million Muslims) while in Mali the percentage is 92.5% (~12 million Muslims). These statistics are according to Pew Forum study as of October 2009. Chrissy: The people of Ghana were forced to convert to Islam by the muslims empire in Ghana. The Muslims came to Ghana from North America and built mosques. In time, Ghana's ruler employed them as advisers. As Ghana grew weaker, Mali replaced Ghana and taken over most of their territory.

In fact, most of the people of Mali retained their traditional African beliefs.
