Communication, History and National Integration: Re?ecting on some Aspects of Africa's Lost Family Values and their Implications
Generally, scholars have argued that both History and Communication (human interaction) are two important tools in Human society necessary for national integration. This is seen in the light of the fact that for man to be able to survive in any society, there must be some form of communication. It is in line with this that it is argued that 'No man is an island, entirely of himself'. Data obtained from primary and secondary sources were deployed to carry out this study with analytical and narrative historical methods used. Findings indicate that although communication is considered as an essential ingredient for building the society starting with the family, the breakdown of communication is largely responsible for the chaotic situation found in the family system (in many families) in most parts of the world with specific reference to Nigeria.
