GST 112 Study Session 10: DIASPORIC CULTURE AND NIGERIA’S DEVELOPMENT Objective Question

Question

In 2005, Uche Nworah commented on the Nigerian cultural presence abroad. Which of these was NOT highlighted by him as a reflection of this cultural presence?
Options
A Setting up community associations
B Maintaining traditional attires at events
C Complete assimilation into host cultures
Correct Answer
D Speaking native languages with one another
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Section 10.2 quotes Uche Nworah stating that Nigerians abroad sustain ethnic group consciousness, set up community associations, wear traditional attires, bear Nigerian names, and speak native languages. He specifically notes 'the only problem is with the generation born in the new lands, who are torn with the issue of double identity,' implying that complete assimilation is not the general reflection of cultural presence, but rather the maintenance of distinctiveness.

Hint

Uche Nworah's comments emphasized the *retention* of Nigerian culture, not its loss.
