Stop Spreading Wrong National Anthem, Akpabio Tells NOA by Dapromzy333(m): 6:55pm On Jun 11 |
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has called out the National Orientation Agency for teaching Nigerians the wrong version of the newly adopted old National Anthem. Akpabio noted that what the agency was circulating was different from the New National Anthem approved by the Senate. After deliberations, the Senate went into executive sessions for over two hours, after which it adjourned plenary to July 2. Before the Senate ended the plenary, Akpabio requested that the Senate recite the first stanza of the new National Anthem. While the lawmakers recited the anthem, the Senate President looked at his book intermittently. After they were done, Akpabio stated that the lawmakers should take note of the wordings of the anthem approved by the Senate and discard the one being presented by the NOA. He said, “Take note of what we have here; what we have is different from what the NOA has. “Where we have Nigerians ‘all’ are proud to say, they have Nigerians all and proud to say. “Also, where we have ‘though’ tribes and tongues may differ, they have ‘those’ tribe and tongues. “Also at the end where we have ‘Nigeria shall be blessed’, they have Nigeria ‘may’ be blessed. “We are using ‘shall’ which is a compulsion that this country shall be blessed, so tell the National Orientation Agency to drop what they are circulating now. The Senate had two weeks ago, passed the National Anthem Bill 2024 to revert to the old national anthem, “Nigeria, we hail thee.” The Senate passed legislation to swap the national anthem from “Arise, O Compatriots” to “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.” The bill, which speedily passed first and second readings on the same day was last week assented to by President Bola Tinubu. https://news360ng.com/akpabio-calls-out-noa-for-teaching-nigerians-wrong-version-of-new-national-anthem/

Please NOA teach us the right one. The right one can perform miracle that was why Tinubu introduced it now that Nigerians are hungry. If you don't have food in your house, open your empty pot and sing the new anthem with your family and thank me later. 2 Likes |

Re: Stop Spreading Wrong National Anthem, Akpabio Tells NOA by QuinQ: 12:17am On Jun 12 |
BondRiv: Because it is far better Great anthem indeed. Here it is: 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. 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. One good thing from BAT (In other areas he remains cllueless!)😆 |

Re: Stop Spreading Wrong National Anthem, Akpabio Tells NOA by QuinQ: 3:49pm On Jun 12 |
Bobloco: It starts with name of the country, "Nigeria we hail.." The other one, what is "compatriots"? It is simple and short, yet says it all. It ends with a prayer - every time you sing it you're praying God blesses Nigeria |
