This is not my area of expertise, but I remember when reading Congo by David Can Reybrouck that the construct if tribes was imposed by the Belgian authorities in the Congo, and that it ultimately took on a constitutive reality that led to the development of tribal identities. I don't know how this correlates to the experience of Ghana or Nigeria in the colonial or post colonial era.
I'm guessing from the post that the OP would use 'indigenous cosmologies' in place of tribe. Having said that, I would have been too ignorant to know check myself from the use of tribe.
