Well, can you explain how you answered that question, then? Or maybe begin by explaining how you interpreted his question? Please.

Unless he was literally saying...show me African tradition A (and of course, "African" is that generally African like 98% of people who live in Africa and consider themselves Africans practice it, or specific, like a specific tribe in Africa) that is seen (without mutation) in Europe, Asian, South America, then of course, we won't be able to exactly give him the examples. But, I feel that the gist of a lot of our "traditions" and and cultural norms and practices stem from coping with the environment or upping our chances of passing on our genes. As such, if you look at migration or environmental similarities and differences across the world, you would be able to track the similarities and differences of african tradition among other cultures (and vice-versa).
For example, you could say that show me the tradition in other parts of where where FGM is also practiced. You probably couldn't, but if you look at the under reason (to keep girls from having sex before their husbands, or to keep wives from cheating on their husbands), and you will see similar practices in many other places of the world (keeping a woman completely clothed, foot binding, etc).
