after seeing the national anthem in yoruba language..

oya enjoy below..

i love my language...


VERSE 1

Bilie nu, O nwafor ibe m,
Nigeria na-akpo oku rube isi
Iji na-eje ozi n'ala nna anyi
Na ịhụnanya na ike na okwukwe.
Mbọ ndi dike anyi gara aga gbara
A gaghi ala n'iyi
Iji na-eje ozi na obi na ike
Ofu mba agbụ na nnwere onwe, udo na ịdị n'otu.

VERSE 2

O Chukwu okike
Tuzie mbọ anyị dị ezie
Duzie ndi ochichi anyị n'uzo ziri ezi
Nyere ndị ntorobịa anyị aka ima eziokwu
Ma too n'ịhụnanya na eziokwu
Ma bie ndụ n'ikwuakaọtọ na ezi
Ime ọfuma ka anyi chọrọ
Nakwa iwu obodo ebe ndokwa
Na ikpe nkwumọtọ ga-achi.



THE PLEDGE
E kwere m Nigeria bu obodo m
Inwe okwukwe, iguzosi ike na inwe eziokwu
Iji ike m niile na-ejeru Nigeria ozi
Ichebe njiko ya, ma bulite ezi afa na ebube ya
Ya mere, nyere m aka Chineke.

It is needed for national orientation, the various ethnic group should render the anthem in their language. Maybe patriotism can start from there.

This is good, but the syllabus do not align with the English version, and thus cannot be sung to the tune.

I actually just sang it to the tune of the national anthem. Not bad. Not bad at all. The trick is to know where to drag out the words a little, and where to rush the words a little.
