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.

Tattooboy: wow! Just like me. If there is one thing i'm not proud of it's gotta be being a Nigerian. I really dont care what anybody thinks.

coogar:

stop lying...
what about your trip in 2009? when you were found by in a luggage @ jf kennedy airport.
now you are feigning innocence that you have never left nigeria all your life?
may amadioha impregnate you with 4 albino midgets.

HNosegbe:

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

Ileke-IdI:
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.

O say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

Wallie: The lyric was in response to the British Royal Navy's bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1812. It's a testament to America's resilience and defiance in the face of adversity.


The Star-Spangled Banner

Why do people take so much pride in the land that ENSLAVED your FOREFATHERS?

They sold your grandaddy and his friends the same way Aboki's sell meat at the abbatoir...and you're here praising the 'testament to America's resilience and defiance in the face of adversity.'

I'm not anti-America....But I cannot honestly abide people who rush to Identify with other countries at the expense of their own...

amebopost:

Because we do not hold grudges. I cannot blame the current generation for the sins of their fathers!

MacLovington: I cry a river anytime I hear Somalia & Afghanistan national anthems. .

Afam, instead of you to get emational when you hear "eyimba eyim" or something closer to home.

Dis ya own no be patriotism, but FOREIGNTRIOTISM

cheddarking:

And so you rush to become one of them...and sing a song praising their military might.
The same might that turned your Grandpa into Kunta Kinte.

You salute the flag of a country that was created on your daddy's sweat and where you are expected to be a slave still.

You run away from home to pledge allegiance to a country that would sooner kick you out any chance it gets, a country where even the so-called 'Black president' is HALF-WHITE.

I pity you.

The truth of the matter is: The right to forgive the 'Sins of their fathers' was never even yours to begin with.
Even if you don't forgive....America still shytes in your mouth...now swallow and say "Thank you Obama"
