Correct Option: C

Nigeria teamed up with other developing countries to assert a neutral posture under the platform of Non-aligned Movement. Non-alignment is the idea or notion of a group of nations in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Caribbean and Europe to be neutral in the cold war between the Western Capitalist and it Eastern Socialist powers.

It should be noted that many African countries have found it difficult to implement the principles of Non-alignment as required. This is mostly due to internal political problems which force them to look for aids and military assistance from either of the blocs. For instance Nigeria and Russia during Nigeria and Biafra war which in most cases referred to as Nigeria civil war.
