African mythology covers a large area. There are so many countries, regions, languages, tribes, and cultures with a large diversity of Gods.
Traditional Africans belief is overwhelmingly monotheistic. There talk about spirits and ancestors floating around, but there's only one God.
African Creator Gods follow a pattern they are all dissatisfied with their creations. There is much shaking of heads, turning away in sorrow and avoidance. The humans are left to fend for themselves. Attempts to contact their God they decide to build a ladder.African Gods don't like to be bothered, and humans have to learn to be content with what they have.
But while God is in Heaven spirits are willing to take an active part in Earthly life. These are mostly into hunting and other practical subjects - with food, sex and booze.
The Gods of Africa are naive and unworldly, they believe the best of everyone and give the benefit of the benefit of the doubt to everyone.
Even communicating with their creation is full of problems. Messages of life and death are done to whichever farmyard animal happens to be passing, and the resulting garble is likely to have profoundly unforeseen and usually disasters.
