Omenuko bu ụdị akwụkwọ kedu?

The question Omenuko bu udi akwukwo kedu? asks: "What type of book is Omenuko?" This tests knowledge of Igbo literature.

Omenuko is a landmark work in Igbo literature, written by Pita Nwana and published in 1933. It is widely regarded as the first novel written in the Igbo language. The novel tells the story of a man named Omenuko who, after losing his trading goods in an accident, sells the children entrusted to his care by their families. The story follows his subsequent guilt, exile, redemption, and eventual return to his community. The narrative is based on the real life of a historical figure, Igwe Amobi of Nawgu.

Because the story is grounded in the real-life experiences of an actual person, Omenuko is classified as Akuko ndu, which means a biography or life story.

The other options describe different literary genres:

• Akuko ifo means a folktale or fairy tale - fictional stories from oral tradition
• Akuko ebere means a story of compassion/pity - while Omenuko contains themes of remorse, this is not its literary classification
• Egwu means a play or drama - Omenuko is a prose novel, not a dramatic work
