dc.description.abstractThe Igbo and Hausa societies are characterized by cultural and experiences of the pre-colonial and post-colonial factors. In the precolonial Igbo and Hausa, the traditional method of transmitting cultural heritage was through oral tradition by means of folklore, myth, legend, proverbs and stories. The history of the Igbo and Hausa people, their communities and that of their heroes and heroic deeds, as well as the teaching of moral values and socialization processes were all made possible in the authentic traditional African conteut through the orally-based tradition of folklore, myth, legend, proverbs, superstitious statements, stories and other forms of the oral tradition, as the community members were non-literate. In such traditionally-based contexts, parents, elders, traditional institutions and other members of the community served as teachers, as from them socialization and acquisition of knowledge were made possible. The study critically explored from linguistic and sociological perspectives the nature, forms, processes and associated methods in the context of pre-colonial African period in the education and socialization of the individual members of the Igbo and Hausa communities. The need to revitalize the traditionally induced system and integrate it as part of the present day system of education is suggested for the preservation and continuous transmission of indigenous cultural heritage in the modern African setting that is dominated by element of foreign culture. The method used as the design of the study is Ethnographic Design. Stories and other forms of oral traditions were collected through contextual interviews, watching of video and TV programmes (like Tales by Moonlight) clips.en_US
