Nigerian National Anthem: Wordings & History…If you’ve ever attended a national event, you must have heard the Nigerian National anthem being sung. Today we will be having a look at the wordings and more importantly the history of this all-important Nigerian National Anthem. So it will be a thrilling journey to sit back and learn about the history of the Nigerian National Anthem and its Wordings.

Or if you attended a Nigerian primary or secondary school, you certainly should have sung the national anthem. This was usually during the morning assembly. This habit of singing the national anthem every day ingrained the lyrics in the memory of every Nigerian student.

It is easy to forget this anthem once you leave the school setting. But the national anthem is a national symbol that shouldn’t be easily forgotten because it is too precious to be abandoned in the archives of history.

For this reason, this article has been written. In the course of the post, you will not just be reminded of the lyrics of the national anthem, you will also learn about the history of the anthem.

Okay, let’s take a peek into the history of the national anthem. Interestingly, you never can tell, something about the anthem’s history might be a question for you at your next interview and reading this post might just be what will save your day.

Nigerian National Anthem: Wordings & History
Nigerian national anthem: History

Before Nigeria gained Independence, the special British anthem was sung at all official or important events. However, months before the country’s freedom from the British rule, a Nigerian National anthem was composed.

It was written by Miss Lillian Jean Williams and was rendered by Miss Frances Benda. Both the music composer and the writer were Britons.

Subsequently, this song which was popularly called ‘Nigeria we hail thee’ was adopted by the country on the 1st of October, 1960, the Nigerian Independence Day.

The wordings of this National Anthem is as follows

Nigeria we hail thee,

Our own dear native land,
Though tribes and tongues may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians are proud to serve,
Our sovereign motherland.

This anthem was quite impressive and it remained a national symbol for many years, precisely between 1960 and 1978. It was often sung at official events and occassions but was eventually abandoned for a couple of reasons:

It was written by a Briton
The anthem highlighted our differences: “…Though tribes and tongues may differ…”

This led to a call by the Federal Government to create an open competition for Nigerians to send in submissions for the lyrics of a new anthem. There were over a thousand submissions precisely, one thousand four hundred and forty nine (1449).

At the end of the day, 5 individuals were chosen. Those who wrote the selected Nigerian National Anthem were given N1000 for their intellectual works and they are:

B. A. Ogunnaike
Eme Etim Akpan
John A. Ilechukwu
Sota Omoigui
P. O. Aderibigbe

The compositions from these five composers were blended into one and the new composition was handed over to the head of music of the Nigerian Police Force, Benedict Elide Odiase on the 10th of May 1978.

Benedict Elide sought the help of the Professor Akin Euba and consequently the lyrics of the anthem were rendered into music by the Nigerian Police Band. This new anthem was adopted and sang for the first time on the 1st October, 1978, during General Olusegun Obasanjo regime. It is in two stanzas.

The anthem was applauded by many as it glorified the rich vibrant culture and heritage of the country. Also, the patriotism expected of every Nigerian is deeply embedded in the lyrics of this anthem. Basically, this great song is national call for all Nigerians to serve their motherland not just passively but with love and compassion.

The song also takes into account the historical past particularly the struggles of the national heroes pre-independence and it also infuses the aspirations of the future generation.

Unlike the previous national anthem, this anthem highlights the single chord that binds the citizen of this great nation no matter where they are.

1st stanza

Arise, O compatriots

Nigeria’s call obey

To serve our fatherland

With love and strength 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.

The anthem has a second stanza, although not as popular as the first stanza, it is a unique call. Basically, this is a prayer which is offered to the Creator to guide the nation, the leaders and the youth aright. In this respect, the blessings of the lord are prayed for so as to guide the nation towards prosperity whilst ushering an era of peace in the country.

2nd stanza

Oh God of creation

Direct our noble cause

Guide our leaders right

Help our youth the truth to know

In love and honesty to grow

And live in just and true

Great lofty heights attain

To build a nation where peace

And justice shall reign.

You’ll probably hear this stanza in solemn gathering like churches or mosques. As a matter of fact, the Federal Executive Council in 2012 decided that the second stanza should be the official national prayer and was to replace the separate Christian and Muslim prayers often offered at official gatherings and events.

Overall, the Nigerian Anthem speaks to the heart of every Nigerian and it is indeed the dream of every citizen of this great nation. The anthem has been translated to other languages such as Yoruba, Hausa and Ibo.

We certainly can’t talk about the National Anthem with mentioning the National Pledge. The pledge is often recited after the anthem with one hand raised or placed on the left side of the chest.

It was written by Professor Felicia Adebola Adedoyin in 1976. Although, the pledge is a short recitation it is very powerful and the wordings are as follow:

“I pledge to Nigeria my country, to be faithful, loyal and honest. To serve Nigeria will all my strength, to defend her unity, uphold her honor and glory, so help me God.”

Finally, the Nigerian National Anthem is a symbol of national significance and the roots and reality of this anthem should never be forgotten if you’re a Nigerian.

How Old is Nigeria? (Comprehensive And Detailed Answer)...You Think you know Nigeria? Then guess how old she is. Nigeria. Often times, we tend to calculate the age of Nigeria by deducting the current year from the year the country became an independent nation. But does that really indicate the age of a nation whose history dates back to hundreds of thousands of years ago? Today, in this post you will get to know how old Nigeria is.

Based on historical data, the geographical area which is today called Nigeria existed as far back as thousands of years ago. As a matter of fact, archaeological research has shown that there were people already living in the southeastern part of the country at that time.

In this post, we’ll take a look at the history of the country as a way of knowing how old Nigeria really is.

How Old is Nigeria: Pre-colonial Nigeria
History shows that ancient African settlers had already found their abode in Nigeria in the Kingdoms of Nri, Benin, and Oyo by 11000 BC.

As at 6000 B.C, archaeological evidence buttressed these with findings that indicated that the Igbo were residing in South Eastern Nigeria. These were the Igbo Ukwu, Nsukka, Afikpo and Ugwuele people.

In the early 500 BC – 1500, the Nok civilization of Northern Nigeria flourished. Between 500 BC and AD 200, the production of life-sized terracotta figures had become quite prominent. These figures were said to be one of the earliest known sculptures in West Africa.

As at 1500 A.D, Nigeria was made up of several kingdoms

The Benin Kingdom
The Borgu Kingdom
Fulani Empire
Hausa Kingdoms
Kanem Bornu Empire
The Kwararafa Kingdom
The Ibibio Kingdom
The Nri Kingdom
The Nupe Kingdom
Oyo Empire
Songhai Empire
The Warri Kingdom
Oyo and Benin
The kingdom of Nri of the Igbo people was consolidated as far back as the 10th century but it lost its sovereignty to the British in 1911. Generally, the Kingdom of Nri is seen as the foundation of the Igbo culture and reputed to be the oldest kingdom in Nigeria.

As a matter of fact, archaeological findings indicate that the Nri dominance can be traced to as far back as the 9th century.

 
The Yoruba kingdoms of Ife and Oyo in SouthWestern Nigeria were also quite prominent in the early history of Nigeria. The Oyo Empire was at its peak between the 17th and 18th centuries. The influence of this empire was extended to modern-day Togo.

Artefacts like the Ife bronze casting of Oduduwa has been traced to as far back as the 12th century. As a matter of fact, the terracotta and bronze artifacts in Ile Ife can be traced to the 9th century. The kingdom of Ife enjoyed prominence in the 12th and 14th century.

Overall, the Yoruba people were said to be the dominant clan in the West Bank of Niger and they shared a similar language with the Igala people living on the other side of the Niger’s divergence from the Benue. Presently, Yorubaland comprises Oyo State, Ondo State, Ekiti State and Ogun State amongst others.

The Benin Kingdom was also a prominent empire in ancient Nigeria. This empire was quite dominant between the 15th and 19th century. The royal Benin ivory mask is one of Nigeria’s most recognized artifacts.

In the northern part of the country, the Hausa kingdoms were said to have existed as far back as the 9th century and by the 15th century, they had become vibrant trading centers. They were involved in exporting slaves, leather, gold, cloth, salt, kola nuts, animal hides and henna,

The Fulanis began to enter the Hausa states in the 13th century. These groups were involved in tending cattle, sheep, and goats. According to historical sources, the Fulanis came from the Senegal River valley where it was said that their ancestors had developed a method of livestock management based on transhumance.

One of the popular figures of the ancient Hausa kingdom was Queen Amina who ruled the first ever united the Hausa nation in the 11th century. She came into power during the conquests initiated by Gijimasu of Kano.

The start of the 19th century saw the invasion of the Northern part of the country by Usman dan Fodio which led to a centralized Fulani Empire. The region is made of the modern-day Northern and Central Nigeria

How Old is Nigeria: Colonial era
The name Nigeria was coined by the British journalist, Flora Shaw in the late 19th century.

In 1851, Lagos was invaded by the British force and the region was formally annexed in 1861. Eventually, Nigeria became a British Protectorate in 1901.

With the invasion of the British, British Nigeria was formed. This period extended from 1800 to 1960. Around this time, the slave trade was also quite prominent with the British, Dutch and Portuguese being central figures in the trade. However, Britain would eventually outlaw the international slave trade in 1807.

After the Napoleonic Wars, the British formed the West Africa Squadron as a means of halting the international traffic in slaves. This was done by intercepting ships that were leaving the African coast with slaves. These slaves were then taken to Freetown, a colony in West Africa. Freetown had been initially established for the resettlement of freed slaves from Britain.

In 1861, the British annexed Lagos as a Crown Colony with the Lagos Treaty of Cession. As a result of this treaty, the British missionaries were able to extend their operation to the inner lands. It would be recalled that it was around this period that Samuel Ajayi Crowther became the first African Bishop of the Anglican Church.

But by the late 19th century, the independent kingdoms in Nigeria had begun to resist the efforts of the British to expand into their territory.

Great Britain conquered these kingdoms which eventually led to them being subjected to the British rule.

Nigeria was home to a number of kingdoms and tribal states as a result, the British set up the administrative and legal structures while practicing indirect rule through the traditional chiefs.

Nigeria became a part of the British protectorate on the 1st of January 1901 making the country was now a part of the British Empire.

By 1914, the British had formally united the Niger area as the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria. At that time, Nigeria was divided into the Northern and Southern Protectorates and Lagos Colony.

The modern structure which is today called Nigeria was developed when the British merged the Northern and Southern Protectorate in 1914.

However, the Southern Protectorates seem to have a better cultural and economic interaction with the British due to its coastal economy. Christian missions were also actively involved and many educational institutions were being established. Over the years, children of the Southern elite traveled to Great Britain to pursue their higher education.

Independent Nigeria
The colonization lasted until the country gained independence in 1960. The first Governor-General was Nnamdi Azikiwe. By 1963, Nigeria had become the Federal Republic and had taken the name, ‘the Federal Republic of Nigeria.’

After independence, the cultural and political differences in the country due to the marked distinction between the Hausas, Igbos, and Yoruba had begun to threaten the foundation of the newly formed nation.

The opposition group to the government of Nnamdi Azikiwe was the Action Group. This party was primarily dominated by the Yoruba and led by Obafemi Awolowo. Although the country had moved on to become a republic in 1963 with Nnamdi Azikiwe taking the reins to become the first President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Nonetheless, the country still had cracks that were growing deeper by the day.

And by 1966, a couple of coups had worsened these cracks. Eventually, the country went into a civil war which spanned from 1967 to 1970. The civil war had emanated when the Republic of Biafra declared its independence from the rest of Nigeria.

After the civil war, Nigeria continued to be ruled by the Military Government that had taken over in 1966. This continued until 1999 although, there were several civilian regimes in between.

In 1979, Olusegun Obasanjo transferred power to the civilian regime of Shehu Shagari. However, this government didn’t last long in power as allegations of corruption led to the military takeover in 1983.

Ibrahim Babangida would later overthrow the Buhari government that had taken over in 1984. Babangida promised to hand over to a democratic government but it took him almost a decade to do so. He eventually handed over in 1993 amidst pressure from local and international quarters.

Prior to handing over to Ernest Shonekan, the Babangida government had supervised a free and fair election in 1993 which was said to have been won by Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola. But the Government surprisingly annulled the result of the elections which led to protests all around the country.

This was what made the Babangida government install Ernest Shonekan as the head of an interim government. But this government couldn’t hand over to a proposed democratic regime as it was overthrown by another military government led by General Sani Abacha. It would be recalled that Sani Abacha who would later die in power in 1998.

Democratic Nigeria
Following the death of Sani Abacha, an interim government was appointed which was expected to oversee the country’s transition to a democratic government. This interim government was led by General Abdulsalami Abubakar.

Unlike the previous transitory government, this administration was able to successfully conduct an election and hand over to a democratic regime on the 29th of May 1999. This new government was led by Olusegun Obasanjo who became the first democratical elected president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Obasanjo was re-elected in 2003 and after completing his four-year tenure, he handed over to Yar’adua in 2007.

Unfortunately, Yar’Adua died in power on the 5th of May 2010 after a protracted illness. He was replaced by his vice, Goodluck Jonathan who became the 14th Head of State of the country.

Goodluck Jonathan remained in power until the 16th of April 2011 when a new presidential election in Nigeria was conducted. He was declared the winner of this election when he defeated Muhammadu Buhari of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).

Interestingly, Goodluck Jonathan’s opposition to the 2011 elections, Muhammadu Buhari defeated him at the March 2015 elections and he is the current president of the country.

Overall, the present day Nigeria can be divided into four republics which have been summarized below:

The First Republic
Nigeria proclaimed itself the Federal Republic on the 1st of October 1963. The Governor General at that time, Nnamdi Azikiwe became the President of the newly formed Federal Republic.

This first republic ended in 1966 after the bloody coup in January of that year which saw the military takeover.

The Second Republic
In 1977, the constituent assembly was elected with the goal of drafting a new constitution. The constitution was published on the 21st of September 1978. This led to five political parties competing in a series of elections which saw Alhaji Shehu Shagari of the National Party of Nigeria emerge as President.

Unfortunately, the civilian rule was shortlived as the military would later seize power in 1983.

The Third Republic
There were plans of a third republic when General Ibrahim Babangida was in power which was expected to be set up in August 1993. The transition to the third republic was meant to be managed by the government of Ernest Shonekan, unfortunately, the military coup led by General Sani Abacha led to an abortive third republic.

The Fourth Republic
After Abacha died in 1998, General Abdusalami Abubakar was appointed as the interim head of State and he drafted a new constitution which enabled a successful transition to democracy.

The Provision Ruling Council announced this new constitution which was based predominantly on the suspended 1979 constitution. This constitution included the provisions for a bicameral legislature, the National Assembly consisting of a 360-member House of Representatives and a 109 member state. Also, 29th of May 1999 was announced as the date of handover to this government.

How Old is Nigeria: Wrapping up
Just as the age of the earth differs based on a couple of theories, we can also say that the age of Nigeria isn’t fixed due to certain factors as well.

You can either calculate the age of Nigeria based on the date of the country’s independence or you can choose to use historical data to answer this age question. But whatever the case, Nigeria as a nation was certainly not born a few years ago.

The Black Bra Confraternity: Myths And Truths...Black Bra is a female confraternity and as it is with many other groups, this sorority was formed in response to their male confraternities. See more details about Black Bra Confraternity below.

 
At the initial stage, the members were girlfriends of the male cult members.

The history of cultism can be traced back to 1952 when a group of seven students formed the Pyrates Confraternity. Interestingly, Africa first Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka was a member of that group.

At the time, the pioneer members of the Pyrates called themselves the “Magnificent Seven” the vision of the group at that time was to differentiate themselves from the hypocritical and affluent middle-class folks that dominated the University of Ibadan campus at that time. The motto adopted was “Against all conventions”

 
This was the only cult group in existence for almost two decades. When the other confraternities like , Eiye and Vikings began to spring up, they were initially old members of the Pyrates Confraternity.

Back to the Black Bra Confraternity, we have highlighted some core features of Black Bra members as well as what it takes to be initiated.

Black Bra Confraternity: Appearance
You can almost tell a sorority member by her appearance. Their rugged and wild look is one feature that can’t be overlooked. Usually, this mien is quite intentional as it tends to create fear or intimidate those around. Also, members tend to live a life of heavy drug and alcohol use which can be observed from their speech and mannerisms.

Black Bra Confraternity: Body marks
People can have body marks due to accidents or other unsavoury events but this is different with a confraternity member. Usually, they get their marks or scars from their initiation or from clashes with members of rival cult groups.

Black Bra Confraternity: Identity
Confraternity members usually have double lives. Their movement and actions are often suspicious. If you know one, she’ll probably tell lies to cover up her movement and activities. Also, it is quite common for them to have a double identity. For example, the real name of a Black Bra member often differs from what she’s called by her friends and fraternity members.

 
Black Bra Confraternity: Language
Cultists often have a specific language which they use in communication. They use these signs and codes to pass information to their fellow confraternity members. This prevents outsiders from decoding their movement or actions and to keep things secret where possible.

Apart from the characteristics of a Black Bra member, the initiation process is another interesting thing about the group.

Black Bra Confraternity: Initiation

Also, the newbie will be expected to make a cut in her thumb. After which, she will cook a special kind of soup with this blood which she will drink along with her clan.

As it is with other cults, once an individual has been confirmed a Black Bra member, she cannot leave until death. However, the individual can leave to another clan as long she’s sure of protection by this clan.
