Good move, it's still a prayer

Instead of acknowledging ingenuity, people are calling me a "Wailer"

Ogbeni corps members with nysc having been using that 2nd stanza as official prayer since like forever. You are no Einstein sir.

The second stanza is a prayer on its..

Great move

I created that idea last 2 years

if that is recited as the opening prayers, what will be said as the closing prayers?....."THE PLEDGE"

I know the people that will surely come for her head

Your guess is as good as mine

hey, from your sigg which e-books do you have?

With all the prayers they've been praying before the amalgamaton of Nigeria to date, they still loot and cheat us, so scrap the prayers as their minds no dey the prayers sef

Thirded!

We should all pray in our houses, enough of the hypocrisy at government functions....imagine Dino Melaye saying the opening prayers at an event and a Sani Yerima saying the closing prayer.

Very true. The one I even find more disgusting is when a project is bring commissioned and the person in charge puts his scissors and says... "we commission this project in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost". I just wonder... Does this man even know what exactly he is talking about? Even a Muslim governor will say that during commissioning. So instead of watering our religious beliefs and ideologies in public gatherings like that, it is important to just find a common ground for all the different religious beliefs. That is what the second stanza of the anthem presents. Very good idea to use it.

Well said my brother.

WhoRUDeceiving:


Many people, including leaders don't EVEN know the first stanza recited in ENGLISH lol.

Many people don't know the origin or true meaning of Nigg.a Area aka Nigeria

Many people don't know the causes of the civil war, or why or how this colony was put together because it isn't even taught

Many people don't know who they are, thinking they are from another group(s), despite bearing Igbo name (Ifeanyi Okowa), bearing Yoruba name, ( Bukola Saraki), etc,

And after 56 years, some folks are still desperately looking for ways to promote what has been natural in other nations, using 2nd stanza of a anthem that does not even reflect their heritage.

Fools forever

Yours is the comment that reflected what I had in mind after reading this thread.
How many countries, who value their heritage, bans the teaching of history lessons in their schools?

That alone shows the deceit and fraud this country was built on. If you have no history, then you cannot learn from the past, and take charge of your future. That's Nigeria. A country cast adrift without a direction. Whatever that is being done by government to "make things better", as far as I'm concerned, is an absolute waste of time. This country has no future. This is mere application of band-aids on a festering sore.

hey, from your sigg which e-books do you have?

from Christian's to Academic's(computing and engineering mostly), General Novels and Romance

No problem. but never forget this. if you remove God, the devil will come in.

We sing this anthem without believing the words most times
