- This paper examines the nature and classes of the speech act in traditional African settings against the background of African traditional values and the right to speak.

The author points out that the objective of the paper is to show how traditional African values are critical in our efforts to understand communication philosophies, ethics, processes, structures and genres in traditional African settings.
