This paper examines the application and relevance of Prof. Des Wilson's Taxonomy of Traditional Communication Systems in the Igbo socio-cultural setting of Nigeria as captured in one of Africa's popular epics: Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. It concludes that the focus of scholars in this era of globalization should be how to formulate inter-ethnic codes of traditional African Communication Systems through an effective synergy to fortify it against the frequent onslaught and threat of attrition posed by the technology-mediated modern media.
