Interesting episode of the Asumasɛm program.
But why the Video of Mami Water being used is not Kmtyw Image? They need to check and fix that part in the future episodes regarding Mami Water.
But I'm not Surprised. I remember seeing the pictures and artistic representations or image of the River "Densu" of Eastern Region. And she looked Indian.
I wondered why then, but I know why now. It's due to mental colonization by colonial constructs.

KNOWing is better than beLIEving.

This was really informative and it recalls the Nile deity Hapi whose flooding brought joy but at the same time could bring destruction.
On Mami Wata being represented as cauceurasian, there is its historical perspective but i remember reading a somewhere that it is also an Kmtyw critique of ''modernity'' where it may come with good things but if not harnessed properly could bring destruction.

Mami Wata, as well as being a pidgin English word is also traced to non-Kmtyw lithographs of non-Kmtyw that were distributed throughout West Kmt, the Dominican Republic and elsewhere based on a woman called Nala Damajanti in the late 1800s:
