'unfortunately' words and music composed by Europeans so not 'Nationalistic' enough.

The thinking in Nigeria at the time was to decouple completely from the colonialists hence successive changes like 'driving on right hand side'.

Nigerian's have always been MORE concerned with Shadow over Substance.

this is why we are where we are

The one that is "so nationalistic" is ridden with corruption...

d new/ current national anthem ridicules everytin in nigeria,

"the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain" i start to wonder which of d heroes de ar talkin abt, d ones dat refuse to die or d ones still leading us...

"one nation bound in freedom, peace n unity"--- dis line is d greatest of all nonsense in our national anthem...

As a child then this line was my favourite "...Though tongues and tribes may differ in brotherhood we stand..." indeed "There was a country"
