Arise O Compatriots...
How well do you know the history of the Nigerian national Anthem?
The national anthem of a nation is usually something of an oath that one swears to the country's flag.
In the case of Nigeria, it really reads out like an oath. The question here is are you a patriotic Nigerian?
From 1960 till 1978, the national anthem was Nigeria we hail thee until it was changed.
The lyrics are a combination of words and phrases taken from five of the best entries in a national contest. The words were put to music by the Nigerian Police Band under the directorship of Benedict E. Odiase.
So enjoy the anthem and the rich words.
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.
