Power must always be held in trust for the people by a few good men. The mob is a woman, and is most times more emotional than logical.

To me, Kperogi stringed words together out of emotions rather than reason or logic

Reverting to Nigeria we hail thee is a spiritual masterstroke. This is the anthem we used during the time of our prosperity. Arise O Compatriots has got to be one of the most soulless and meaningless national anthems ever adopted by a nation, it recognized nothing of our diversity, and attempted to fuse us into one national mass by military fiat and in so doing we became an unwieldy and dysfunctional mess of a nation. 46 years later, who are our heroes past? Which lofty heights have we attained as a dysfunctional mass?

The mob is a woman.

QuinQ:
I TOTALLY agree.
This comment marks you a smart woman yourself

Of course, there's nothing we're participating in that's real. Or you don't know that yet? This illusion has become your and our reality. That's why you cannot see why a national anthem written by Nigerians is better than one written by a foreigner.

We are locked down!

musicwriter:
What I find interesting is that both Kperogi and Reno are helping to define "tribe" and "native" in their proper context.

And this reminds me of what I wrote on my blog sometime ago.

Most of things we say in English, we don't really know the meaning in the native speakers content. Because only the owner of a language can have an organic experience with meaning in that language. No matter how much you speak the English language, you cannot have an organic experience with meaning. You have to be literally mad to have an organic experience with the English language, i e your brain chemistry would have to work differently than a normal African.

Certainly, white people have damaged something in our brains on the African continent. This has to be the reason why such an irrational thing as reversing to a colonial anthem would be passed as law. But I am trying to figure out whether this damage has been before the whites arrived. Only a brain-dead people can throw away a national anthem written by themselves in exchange for one written by a foreigner.

Meaning any new government installed can decide to be changing the National Anthem

camri:
and composed by the paramilitary. The first stanza is like a command

OhuDealer:

Judolisco:
he won indeed... When he went to court... Why didn't he go with any evidence that he won d election?

Omoawoke:
In the list of the most senseless opinions, this should be the mother of all senseless and baseless conspiracy theory ever imagined from someone’s head

Judolisco:
must u bring Nigeria down by all means... In d last election, if u add obi and Atiku's vote together.... Wouldn't they have won d election?

Akamon:
Are you saying the election that Ushered in President Jonathan and President Buhari is not a Worthy testament election and not a popular choice?. President Jonathan election broke the chain of majority continuous rulership and that if President Buhari Ushered in an opposition which you hardly see in African nations.
President Tinubu came into power with slim margin votes ahead of 2&3, which is better than what you're seeing in South Africa.
Our system of governance is somehow different or else PDP & LP combined vote will usher in a coalition government.
Please educate yourself and stop making jest of your self

mrvitalis:
See eeh if we ever have regional government the gap South East would give other regions eeh... E go shock people

Omoawoke:
Are you normal? Where did you see any indication I am happy about the violence.
Seems you know how to shift blame to others.
Who committed the crime?, ipob carried out violence in Aba against soldiers who even happen to be Igbos, go to Facebook l, Twitter and even here on nairaland and see your fellow Igbos celebrating the kill. And I’m suddenly the problem?

JohnnA1:
If you know some of the things (drugs, fraud. Etc) Nigerians (most especially people from a certain tribe) do in South Africa you won't blame them so much.

Where ever you find yourself in this world, BE A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.

STOP SELLING DRUGS TO SCHOOL CHILDREN, STOP FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES!

deji17:
You are wasting your time. You deceive yourself too much. Regional govt under military govt? Biko, go and count sand.

Beverlyjean:
Reason they changed national anthem is because this foolish presido cand reside our national anthem...the only time he went to school was primary school and they were still singing the old one ...that's the only one that fool knows how to sing ... he then forced it on us so he doesn't get called out for not singing our normal national anthem ... selfish bastard ...after he gets kicked out in 2027, we will revert to our normal anthem

Gully erosion , including those in your SE, is a result of the interaction of land use, climate and slope. It has nothing to do with SS states.
The North is not responsible for the poverty in the SS. You're still in denial but for how long
I have shared with you what SS states can do before the real day of problems comes.

There has never been a monolithic North, some of the places you referred to as North are parts of Yorubaland and inhabited ancestrally by Yoruba while some parts of the North were even formally part of Cameroon.

Whoever is not faithful with little will not be faithful with many so please stop making excuses for the corrupt and poor performing leaders in the South who
[b][/b]produced convicted leaders like Late Alams, Chief James Ibori and but for perpetual injunction, may arguably have included Dr Odili.
