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.

Harris Claims Trump’s Ex-Officials Oppose His Return to Office
Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, recently highlighted that some former officials from Donald Trump’s administration are opposed to his return to power.
In her statement, Harris emphasized her commitment to serving all Americans equally.
As both the Democratic candidate for the presidency and the current Vice President, Harris is set to face off against Trump, the leading Republican contender, in the upcoming election.
Harris pointed out that key figures who once worked closely with Trump—such as his former National Security Advisor, Defense Secretary, and Chief of Staff—are now publicly against his re-election.
She shared this perspective on social media platform X, stating: “My promise is to be a president for every American.
The very people who served in Donald Trump’s administration have voiced their concerns about his potential return to the Oval Office.”
She further elaborated, “His National Security Advisor, his Defense Secretary, his Chief of Staff, and even his Vice President have all issued warnings.
They believe that Donald Trump is unfit to lead our nation again.”
Harris assured her audience that under her leadership, she would uphold fundamental rights and freedoms, including a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.

Trump Declines Third Debate with Harris
Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will not participate in a third debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump made the declaration in a post on Truth Social, emphatically stating, “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!”
He was referring to his previous debates, with President Joe Biden in June being the first, and his recent clash with Harris on Tuesday as the second.
Harris’ campaign had quickly called for an additional debate following their recent encounter, aiming to continue the debate series.
Despite this request, Trump expressed hesitation about agreeing to another debate.
In an interview with “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday, he mentioned that he would “probably” decline any further debate offers from the network.
By Thursday, Trump confirmed his decision not to debate Harris again.
He justified his stance by citing what he considered a decisive victory in their recent debate, which many observers felt tilted in Harris’ favor.
“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH,’” Trump commented, highlighting his belief that the debate had already settled the issue.
