THIS IS THE VERY HEIGHT OF MADNESS. I KNOW NIGERIANS NOT 2 GIVE A HOOT ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY EXCEPT DURING FOOTBALL MATCHES BUT THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. ITS NOT AS IF THE AMERICANS CARE ABOUT US OR WILL CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS US BUT THEN IM JUST 1 OPINION OUT OF SOME 170 MILLION PEOPLE. GOD HELP US. |
Re: American Anthem Announced Before Nigeria’s At THISDAY Awards by naptu2: 10:42am On Feb 27, 2013 |
And yes, I've seen an event that was held in the US, in which the Nigerian anthem was played first. Circa 1992 when Nnamdi Azikiwe was honoured by Lincoln University |

justokey: But that is against protocol. Nigeria's anthem should always be sung last when we play host. Check football events! My Brother, is this event a football event or award ceremony. Don't compare because it is not a football event that involves two countries playing a football match. Clinton did not even come to represent America in the first place, so singing or playing the US anthem is wrong in this case. FULL STOP 1 Like |

Afam4eva: Some Nigerians can just do stup1d things. This is a good move by the Ogun people. I'm sure if it was held in Abuja, the guests would have allowed it slide. Whoever even came up with the idea of singing the American anthem before the Nigerian anthem deserves to be shot. Why should the American anthem even be sung in the first place. Was it a bilateral gathering or a football match nvolving both countries? Were they trying to please Bill Clinton? In his mind he must have even thought it as a bad idea and those that came up with it as morons. Where in the world is a country's National anthem relegated to the background in favour of a foreign one. Tufiakwa.I se a lot of insulting words u used here and I'm glad when my ban end in a few minutes time I will also be able τ̲̅ȍ use such words without fear of a ban.Tanks Afam for opening the way for me with such words cos they work well here.D moderator is always right. 1 Like |

naptu2: I wonder if I should post the full article and I wonder iif the antispam bot will ban me if I post it. naptu2: I wonder if I should post the full article and I wonder iif the antispam bot will ban me if I post it. Thanks you my brother! I really don't understand why most Nigerians run their mouths without checking their facts. I am sure Clinton will be laughing at the imbeciles who think they were fighting for a right that does not exit. Really it was people like you that brought me to Nairaland but over the years what I see here now a times makes me think that Seun should conduct an aptitude test before someone could open an account. The kind of comment and reaction I see on this forum these days is disgraceful. |

Julieccentric: Bill Clinton (like all former US presidents) is an American dignitary and [s]he attended the event in an official capacity[/s] I've just realised that this was a private event even if the Gov. was there. State Event or not however, it's proper etiquette to perform the anthem of any foreign dignitaries present, if you're going to bother playing your own country's anthem. That's how it's done everywhere. |

cecegorz:You make me wonder if my SIMPLE sentence was too COMPLEX for you to comprehend. In my statement, I said 'IF the 2 anthems must be sung' and this simply implies that IF it was a football match, then it's actually right to play the American anthem first. Nigerians like making a big show over the wrong issues. The basis of this argument should rather be WHY SHOULD THE AMERICAN ANTHEM BE PLAYED AT ALL? and not why it should be played before the Nigerian anthem. Just like someone mentioned here "Nigerians tolerate the things they're supposed to get offended by, but they get riled up over silly issues" |

Rejecting what's wrong 'instantly' can move this country forward. |
Re: American Anthem Announced Before Nigeria’s At THISDAY Awards by touchmeder: 11:47am On Feb 27, 2013 |
Someone here has made the point that IF this were to have been a football match or something else requiring the 2 anthems to be sung, then the organizers ACTUALLY did the correct thing. Now if the American anthem should have being attempted in the first place is another issue entirely but it seems very few (Naptu and others)have spoken the truth here on what protocol truly demands. Omo if you dont know learn now... |

woodcook:Before you pass judgement, why dont you understand the purpose of the event in the first place? The event was to honour outstanding Nigerians-teachers-who have done Nigeria proud while working in NIGERIA and note, that event took place in NIGERIA. So in such circumstance, why do you expect the American Anthem to be sung? Is that not unpatriotism and hypocrisy? |
Re: American Anthem Announced Before Nigeria’s At THISDAY Awards by Godmann(m): 12:15pm On Feb 27, 2013 |
You guys are missing the point here. What happened was not an accident. it is a clear of of where the interest of Thisday, its owner and the WHOLE stupid ELITES that rule us lie. Are you people surprised to learn that majority of your Ministers are recommended by the Americans? Are you suprised that even Your Presidents hold the country on-behalf of the Western Neo-colonial masters? Until we do away with those impostors, Nigeria will never work. Our Independence is a farce. |
