It will be agreed that not so many Nigerians can sing the country's national anthem, though not too good for the country but the truth is not every Nigerian child can sing the national anthem words for words right from the primary school pupil up to the undergraduate in the higher institutions if in doubt call on your neighbor's child to sing the first stanza of the National anthem and you will be shock to hear the blunder that will come out like the rattle of the gun well who will blame the poor Nigerian child if even the law makers can not sing the country's anthem correctly, few years ago on one of the national tele network news a lawmaker was asked to sing the national anthem it was so embarrassing to hear the lawmaker sang the remixed of the "Arise o compatriot" but of course a poor education on that may have caused his bluff that very day.

However if awesome number of the Nigeria citizens can't sing the first and second stanzas of the national anthem how many then can sing the national anthem of the first republic which i called "The Independence Anthem" and i tend to ask How many of you can sing this

#Nigeria we hail thee
Our own dear native land,
Though tribes and tongue may differ
In brotherhood we stand.
Nigerias all am proud to serve
Our sovereign motherland.
