Which Stanza Of The National Anthem Should Be Adopted In Nigeria? by bish2(m): 11:00pm On Sep 30, 2011
Personally, I feel neglecting the second stanza of the National Anthem is the root of heightened Corruption, Violence, Injustice, Dishonesty, Tribalism, Mis-management, Etc. in the country today. As The Saying Goes "THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM" and "WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT"

Comparing The Contents Of The Two Stanzas, I believe The First Stanza Should Be Relegated To The Second Stanza And The Second Stanza Promoted To The First Stanza. What Do You Think?


FIRST STANZA
Arise O Compatriots
Nigeria's Call Obey
To Serve Our Fatherland
With Love And Srength And Faith
The Labour Of Our Heroes Past
Shall Never Be In Vain
To Serve With Heart And Might
One Nation Bound In Freedom
Peace And Unity


SECOND STANZA
O God Of Creation
Direct Our Noble Cause
Guide Our Leaders Right
Help Our Youths The Truth To Know
In Love And Honesty To Grow
And Live In Just And Truth
Great Lofty Heights Attain
To Build A Nation Where Peace
And Justice Reigns

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION TO US ALL.

We have to find where Lugard hid the key to that lock.

Maybe we should search the River Niger. Lol
