Absolutely incredulous!

“Native Land” . “Tribes”.

In a 21st Century Nigeria, the country’s political class found a colonial National Anthem that has pejorative words like “Native Land” and “Tribes” to be admirable enough to foist on our Citizens without their consent.

It is inevitable that there will be an ideological War between the Political Class and the Citizens of Nigeria.

It is only but a matter of “When?”. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

Oby Ezekwesili


*Public Service Announcement*

Let it be known to all and sundry that I, Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili shall whenever asked to sing the Nigerian National Anthem sing:


1. Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.

2. Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause
Guide our leader’s right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace and justice reign.

This is my own National Anthem and let it be known that no one can suppress my right to dissent an obnoxious “law” that is repugnant to all that is of good conscience in Nigeria.

Whatever else is #NotMyNationalAnthem.
✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

Noise Maker.

Of what importance are you to Nigeria aside your noise and bigotry on other ethnic.

You can continue singing it in your room.

The fact is you dare not called to State or National Assembly for anything, like screening, or any government function and you do as you say tongue

Sore loser

Of what benefit is changing the national anthem to the common man in the streets?

Is he going to eat the national anthem or what exactly?

Are you tinubu fans really dumb?

Dude, there are more pressing issues to tackle in this country! WTF is changing national anthem?

She is right of course. IPOB founders are not expected to sing the Nigerian National Anthem.

Nobody forces you to recite it, just respect yourself and stay silent whenever true Nigerians honours the anthem. Your state's senators including LP lawmakers passed the law. stop the hypocrisy.

because we all know that no such nonsense will happen in the south east and IPOB just limit their authority to their members. Now like I asked before of what use is the new national anthem?

You had your representatives in the senate who agreed on this bill.
You should ask them why they accented to it.

This is purely a legislative issue and isn't coming from the executive.

Their useless representatives are bench warmers since 1999 and only rise up when issues relating to SS and SW are being tabled.

Okoro is the enemy of the south.

Better to contact your senator or HOR member that you voted for. That's how to express your dissatisfaction.

Absolutely. They are hypocrites. Kids in the SE about 30,000 of them won't be able to sit for exams due to IPOB terrorism but this woman is more concerned about national anthem. I expect the other agulu man to also release a statement soon about the anthem while avoiding more pressing issues like the future of those kids in the SE at stake.
