dc.description.abstractRiddles have been part of the peoples oral tradition whose study has, over the ages, attracted and continue to attract the attention of scholars. Early interest in them was shown by Aristotle whose comments on the relationship between riddle and metaphor appeared in his The Rhetoric Book 111 Chapter 2 and The Poetic XXII. Others who have shown interest in the genre include Karl Mullenhoff and Gaston Paris both of whom encouraged comparative riddles. It is therefore necessary that a more comprehensive classification of the Igbo riddles should be made. This, we believe will give more insights into the nature of Igbo riddles.en_US
