The University of Nigeria anthem is a two verse song composed by Mr. Sam Ojukwu. Lions and Lionesses both at home in Nigeria or in diaspora could easily relate to this piece of song with a nostalgic feeling on the greatness and academic excellence by which the prestigious University of Nigeria stands for.

Verse 1
Solo: Hail Varsity of Nigeria, My Alma mater
Refrain: Hail her and rejoice for the sake of truth
Solo: Where young men and women do seek knowledge
Refrain: Hail her and rejoice for the sake of knowledge
Solo: Where the nation's potentials do brood in the nest
Refrain: Hail her and rejoice for her noble ideals
Solo: Hail Varsity per excellence our dreams come true
Refrain: Hail her and rejoice for the giant awakes

Tutti (All): My Alma mater, My Alma mater Noble are thy looks and thy ideals And great art thou in Science and in Arts In other realms of learning Thou art all sublime.

Verse 2
Solo: Hail Varsity of Nigeria, My Alma mater
Refrain: Hail her and rejoice for her lofty plans
Solo: The Varsity that is sited on soft green hills
Refrain: Hail her and rejoice for her beauty's sake
Solo: Hail Varsity of our glory, the pride of our land
Refrain: Hail her and rejoice for her light will shine
Solo: Hail Varsity per excellence our dream come true
Refrain: Hail her and rejoice for the giant awakes

Tutti (All): My Alma mater, My Alma mater Noble are thy looks and thy ideals And great art thou in Science and in Arts In other realms of learning Thou art all sublime.

The best anthem I have ever heard






It should be modified and adopted as Nigeria's new anthem.
