The National Anthem We Need Now In Nigeria. by anthney87: 8:45pm On Aug 12, 2016
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'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to 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.


Nigeria
"Nigeria We Hail Thee"

Words by: Lilian Jean Williams

Music by: Frances Benda

In use: 1960-1978

Nigeria's first anthem, written by a British
expatriate, was in use until 1978, when the
government changed the anthem. (This
anthem still can be heard in Nigeria as a form
of protest against the government.)
