Sustaining African Communication system

Creativity they say is the mother of invention. This could best be described the recently held traditional African communication system forum in the New Nigerian Institute of Journalism Ikeja Lagos by the graduating students of National Diploma. A thorough scrutiny of traditonal means of communication was the key motive of the assesment as different group of students displayed an effective means of information dissemination in an African setting. Though some people believe that Africans do not have a traditional media before the advent of modern day Mass communication such as radio, TV, internet, newspaper etc.

Students of NIJ proved the above claim wrong as they made use of African Commuication forms such as the Masqurade, town crier, praise-singer, market women, village square to educate their audience.
