What is your question?
Actually if a graphic sign corresponds to a word, it is an ideographic writing system and not an alphabet. An "alphabet" is a script where one sign corresponds to one sound
Africa has seen many ideographic writing systems.
The most well known are the Egyptian hieroglyphs. But there were others like the Nubian and Meroitic writing and also in more recent times the writing developed by Sultan Suleyman Ndjoya I for his people, the Bamum of Northern Cameroon, in the early 20th century. None of all these is still in use...
