A national anthem is supposed to embody a Nation. In the first and second line of that anthem talks about originality, nativity and our differences. Politically that’s true federalism, that’s confederation-alism, that’s understanding of Nigeria’s diverse makeup that’s understanding the problem.

Prior to the first republic, we weren’t living in pretense we understood as things were and should be. “Though tribe and tongue may differ”, it freedom, it understanding our differences and finding a common ground for unity. I’m a centralist if Nigeria must exist, then I endorse the current political structure but the people there in should understand their differences and hold their loyalty to that differences and the center.

People will complain for a while and accept reality. A National anthem is the first instrument of national identity and children imbibe it from a very early age in kindergarten and other lower education. It is a good place to start finding solution.

Going to the old anthem shows lack of innovative thinking by our leaders. It large depict their retrogressive mentality.

It’s a difficult one for me.

There are good arguments on both sides.

Not really, why then does people visit museum, the current anthem don’t indicate our differences

If the national anthem is no longer good, why can't we sing a new one?

Why waste money on getting other people to submit a new competition if an older better one exist

The old anthem of 1960 is better.
I love the reversal to the old one. I await the reversal to the 1963 constitution

This my NIGGER will NOT change anything.
You people are afraid to do the needful and are romanticizing on nonsense.

You want a language to reflect the nation…then god dayum put in in your language. Not what one Oyibo wrote years ago.

SILLY NIGGERS

Put it which language, Igbo Hausa or Yoruba

TBH, the old anthem is good and it's more strongly worded to create positive impact about unity, equality and patriotism.

My greatest pain is that the wrong person who doesn't believe in those ideas brought it back.

Practice what you preach.
