Battabox headed out onto the
streets of Lagos to ask
Nigerians if they know their
national pledge – and you
may be surprised by the
answers and recitals! “We are looking for that
patriotic Nigerian,” says
Battabox presenter, Kayode.
The full pledge is below:
I pledge to Nigeria my
country, To be faithful, loyal and
honest,
To serve Nigeria with all my
strength,
To defend her unity,
And uphold her honour and glory,
So help me God.
According to Battabox
reports, many people
interviewed laughed and
were embarrassed but also defended themselves by
explaining the ‘hustle’ of
Nigeria is too much to
remember such things.
“This country, if people say
they are patriots – the government of this country -
there is nothing to write
home about. See I am
trekking home now, there
will be hold up if I have a car,
so I now bought a bike and this man says I cannot ride a
bike… and even all the
graduates looking for jobs.”

I am a Nigerian and I can recite the national anthem.
