Confab Asks Nigeria To Return To Old National Anthem by rebranded(m): 9:00am On Jul 12, 2014 |
The conference regarded the old anthem as a better symbol of unity, peace and prosperity. The National Conference delegates on Thursday adopted the recommendation that Nigeria should revert to the old National Anthem. The conference regarded the old anthem as a better symbol of unity, peace and prosperity. The decision was taken while the conference was reviewing a report from the Committee on Political Restructuring and Forms of Government in Abuja. The decision was applauded by delegates, who unanimously recited the old National Anthem on the floor of plenary. The lyrics of the old National Anthem, written by Lillian Jean Williams, composed by Frances Berda and sung between 1960 and 1978 was: 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 Our flag shall be a symbol That truth and justice reign In peace or battle honour And this we count as gain To pass unto our children A banner without stain 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. The current National Anthem was adopted in 1978 during the military regime under the Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
