Since time immemorial, Africans have marked different stages of life through rites of passage. A rite is defined as a social custom ceremony or a ritual.

The rites featured will start from the birth and naming ceremonies to the coming-of-age rituals, to marriage festivities and finally the process of laying those who have passed to rest.
