New Official Version of Reintroduced National Anthem Now Available
At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti.
On June 5, 2024, the National Orientation Agency (NOA) unveiled the official, standardized version of Nigeria’s national anthem. This anthem, originally composed by British expatriate Lillian Jean Williams, was in use between 1960 and 1978.
However, President Bola Tinubu recently signed a bill to revert to the old national anthem, sparking controversy among Nigerians.
The NOA assured citizens that the revised lyrics would clear any doubts about correctness. Notably, only one word was changed: in line five of the first stanza, “and” was corrected to “are.”
The revised line now reads: “Nigerians all, are proud to serve.” Additionally, the NOA emphasized that the words “tribes” and “tongues” in line three of the first stanza are plural.
This standardized version aims to unify the anthem’s lyrics and reinforce national pride. Let us celebrate our shared heritage and diverse culture through this anthem that speaks to our collective identity. 🇳🇬
National Anthem
Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood, we stand,
Nigerians all, and proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honour’d,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.
O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
