Abstract

The issues of encoding and decoding have been rife. Indeed, the two-in-one concept has denominated communication over the years. But have all the issues raised in the processes of human relations and development been effectively communicated? In this era of the World-Wide Web (www), it is observable that certain pre-modern facts of communication, such as ethnographic twitches and audio-visual forms have hardly been disserted on regarding the Cross River Igbo communities. This paper consequently, undertakes documenting these aspects that gave these traditional communities resilience and sustenance in pre-coloniality and presently (2021), and especially, since these have been hidden under anecdotes, proverbs, the didactic and ironical, among others. Oral interviews were conducted in the discerning and interpreting all un-surveyed means of communication in the Cross River Igbo. These modes ranged from the verbal, non-verbal to the audio and non-audio, and signages.
