afam4eva: @manny4life I'm not working towards being an American. Nothing can change my Nigerianess. What i want to know is why and how the America anthem could have an effect on me and not the Nigerian anthem.

Nothing wrong with with dual citizenship... believe me, a blue/green passport have it's own benefits. It has effect on you because of how the circumstance surround the creation of the song. If you read further into history, when America was attacked (if I'm correct in Baltimore), by the British, in 1804, the Poet who wrote this national anthem (a lawyer by profession) was taken aboard their ship by the Britain, records claimed that when the bombing was over, America stood their grounds and did not shake. That was how that song came into existence and wasn't adopted till 1937.

afam4eva: For some reason, whenever the Nigerian anthem is being played i just don't feel anything. But whenever the US anthem is being played, it moves me. I get close to tears at times. Mind you i've never been to the US in my life. Why don't i feel anything when the national anthem of Nigeria is being played? Even the South African anthem moves me.

Is this how you got a visa to the UK? No wonder you defend that country with all your life. Your life without the UK can only be imagined in fiction. I just hope you did not take your criminal instincts with you to London.

instead of you toget busy with the biafran anthem, you are deluding yourself with the american anthem?

You don't have to say, your actions speaks volume of your appreciation of the opportunity given to you by the British. You even said once that you'll worship the Queen if need be. Tufiakwa gi. I'll advise you to open your azz and be free.

On a more serious note, am beginning to pity you.

First, you said you want to represent Nigeria in next Olympics, thinking that the US is going to host it, a desperate plan you carefully construed to enable you escape on touching JFK:; I quickly reminded you that the next games is taking place in south America and chances are you may end up in Mexican jail should you try to cross through southern boarder.

Now, you came with another poorly crafted plan of dissing Nigeria thinking that will fetch you US visa after consuming a mid sized bottle of Alomo bitters? shocked

Give it up, bro!

I'm really happy for you. I wonder what your life would have been life if the British did not give you the opportunity to be a human being. Dude, you got luck on ya side. Just don't provoke them into deporting you oo because they're renovating our prisons so that criminal returnees will have an abode.

How can i be an illegal alien when i've never left Nigeria in my life. It's people like you who crossed the Mediterranean see that are illegal aliens.

...must be the melody. I personally prefer the melodies of the Israeli, Italian, Brazilian, German, English, American, and Turkish national anthems to that of Nigeria.

Because America and South Africa are nations in the true sense, while Nigeria isn't.

Attacking afam4eva is unnecessary lol.
I think it has to do with the beats and lyrics. i.e I like Canadian anthem than USA's anthem.
