Ondo State Denies Adopting Oodua Anthem by BosseJ: 5:57am On May 27, 2021
24 May 2021

The Ondo State government has denied adopting Oodua anthem, saying that the indigenous anthem adopted by the state was distinct from Oodua anthem.

This is contained in a statement by Mr Richard Olatunde, Chief Press Secretary to Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Monday in Akure.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports the state had in the twilight of Akeredolu’s first term in office, adopted the anthem which was being recited after the national anthem at government functions.

He explained that the rationale behind the adoption of the anthem was to promote the tradition and culture of the Yoruba race.

According to him, this clarification is necessary in order to avoid misinterpretation, misconception and outright misunderstanding of the aim of the state government.

“The recently dissolved Ondo State Executive Council (SEC) on Feb. 18, 2021 approved an indigenous anthem for the state.

“But it has come to our notice that the anthem is being referred to as Oodua anthem.

“I wish to state that what was approved for the state was Ondo state anthem and not Oodua anthem,” he said.

Which tribe/region is the state actually owing these explanations? I doubt if the East nor the West care.

Why do all these nuisances, especially Sunday Igbowhatever want to bring in Ondo State/Akeredolu into their divide and rule madness.

Seems they are all hell bent on romancing the Governor by force because he is the only SAN in all the western states.
Is it by force for krissake?

Nawa oh
Meanwhile the best gift you can give to your children as they celebrate this year's Children's day is at least to subscribe for a plot of Land in their name in fast developing cities. When they grow up they will look back and affirm that their parents truly loves them.. You can even sell the Land at appreciated price to settle their future bills such as schools fees.

It's probably because they have the same melody.

This is a video of the Ondo State Executive Council singing the Ondo State Anthem before their meeting.

Even if it is Oodua anthem, what's the problem of the North?.

If they like they should also adopt Arewa anthem. Or Cowrewa anthem.

I see nothing wrong here, some states like Ogun already have state anthems decades ago. By the way what is wrong with a regional anthem? I think we should have that soonest.

Whether it’s Oodua anthem or Ondo anthem, the important thing is that the anthem was adopted to promote the tradition and culture of the yoruba race.

Na true o !!!
That is what brainwashing can do to people's lives,
Igbos terrorists organization are something else, just because the mental animal called cownu tells them so.
Thank God that 99.99999% of true, honest and hardworking igbos are not Igbos!
The fraudster idiot is even angry and mad that Kelechi and Wilfred are showing Nigeria to the world and you see his fellow swines showing their anger to the footballers they have always loved right from time.

Brainwashing is worse than poverty!

I sincerely pity north. They just appear like a cripple in the midst of able people. Of course any time any of their companies wants to leave they will raise alarm of 'Are you leaving me?'. To console such fellow you just need to give an assurance that you are not going anywhere.
North needs to walk. That is the way forward.
