ABSTRACT The scope of contemporary studies in the use of indigenous media was mapped by Ojebode (2011) into four: the indigenous media of indigenous people, the indigenous media of non- indigenous people, the indigenized media of indigenous people, and the indigenized media of non-indigenous people; however recent studies have majorly focused on indigenized media. Scholars in indigenous media studies have majorly been pre-occupied with the role of indigenous and indigenized media in aiding development, promoting agricultural extensions and programs, advancing informal education, publicizing health programs, fostering self expression, and achieving self determination of rural populaces. Little attention has been paid to the exploration and understanding of indigenous media of different peoples as used by the peoples themselves without external influence or purposes. It is the belief of this author that an in-depth understanding of the traditional purposes of indigenous media would prevent their misuse in contemporary society thus the significance and importance of this study so adoption of indigenous media to serve contemporary purposes would be with an informed knowledge of how they are to be used for optimal results and without insulting or corroding the sensibilities of the indigenous people or the culture. This paper therefore takes a detour from the above-explicated trends of contemporary studies in indigenous media to focus on the traditional use of the indigenous media of the Gbagyi people of present day Abuja- the federal Capital territory of Nigeria, the biggest and richest country in West Africa- by the Gbagyi people themselves. This paper delineates the territories of indigenous media and indigenous peoples, and it explores the Gbagyi of Abuja and details of their culture that would promote our understanding of their indigenous media. This paper also presents to the academia a taxonomic detail of the indigenous media of the Gbagyi people as the media native to the Gbagyi people of Abuja, as used among the Gbagyi people of Abuja, and by the Gbagyi people of Abuja. 1
