This question is based on Buchi Emecheta's Second Class Citizen The narrative of the novel centres around

Answer Details

Buchi Emecheta's Second Class Citizen is a semi-autobiographical novel that centres on Adah, a young Nigerian woman who grows up in Lagos, dreams of going to England, and eventually emigrates to London with her husband Francis. The novel follows Adah's experiences as she faces racial discrimination in England (being treated as a "second-class citizen"), struggles with her domineering and abusive husband, works to support the family, and fights to assert her independence and ambitions.

Adah is the protagonist and the consciousness through which the entire story is narrated. Her journey from childhood determination in Nigeria to her painful but liberating experiences in England forms the backbone of the novel.

The other characters are secondary:

• Francis is Adah's husband, who is largely unsupportive and often oppressive.
• Mrs Ofili is a minor character in the story.
• Ike is not a central figure around whom the narrative revolves.

The correct answer is Adah.
