Nigeria, an African country on the Gulf of Guinea, has many natural landmarks and wildlife reserves. Protected areas such as Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park have waterfalls, dense rainforest, savanna and rare primate habitats. One of the most recognizable sites is Zuma Rock, a 725m-tall monolith outside the capital of Abuja that’s pictured on the national currency.

💡Stanza 1

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.

💡Stanza 2

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.

💡Stanza 3

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.

The Nigeria Old National Anthem faced many criticisms one of which was its composer not being a Nigerian. The Daily Service, a newspaper run by a political organization, Egbé Ọmọ Odùduwà, even launched a rebellious campaign against the Nigeria Old National Anthem [old national anthem of Nigeria] which led to a committee being established to collect signatures as a petition.

“Nigeria, we hail thee” ceased to be the Nigeria National Anthem in 1978 after it was replaced by a new one composed by Ben Odiase, an Assistant Commissioner of Police and the then Director of Music of the Nigerian Police Band.

The new Nigeria National Anthem [National anthem of Nigeria] was titled “arise o compatriots nigeria's call obey” and is still in use till today.

We hope to have answered the following questions:

If the 2050 generations came accross this...kindly know i was here in May 2024 to learn too

The old anthem was far far better than the present one. That was the anthem I sang during my school days, 1958-1967. In fact, I can still sing the 3 verses now without bubbling!

[chimajohnson]

The old anthem is the best. Please God, raise a leader that will bring back the old anthem. "God give us a nation where no one is oppressed " is one of the lines of the anthem. But today, people are oppressed. An anthem of prayer with meanings

To me, the old version is weightier, better and fits more into the present situation of the country. Its like a prayer that the nation needs at this time. I love the old national anthem of Nigeria.
