Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Uche Nworah commented on "A strong ethnic group consciousness sustained over a long time and based on a sense of distinctiveness, a common history and the belief in a common fate. This has been variously demonstrated by intra-marriage relationships and friendships amongst the Nigerians in the Diaspora, also by setting up community associations which serve as social organisations as well. Nigerians still maintain and promote their culture in their new countries of residence..."
