Absolutely incredulous!

“Native Land” . “Tribes”.

In a 21st Century Nigeria, the country’s political class found a colonial National Anthem that has pejorative words like “Native Land” and “Tribes” to be admirable enough to foist on our Citizens without their consent.

It is inevitable that there will be an ideological War between the Political Class and the Citizens of Nigeria.

It is only but a matter of “When?”. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

Oby Ezekwesili

*Public Service Announcement*

Let it be known to all and sundry that I, Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili shall whenever asked to sing the Nigerian National Anthem sing:

1. 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.

2. Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause
Guide our leader’s right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace and justice reign.

This is my own National Anthem and let it be known that no one can suppress my right to dissent an obnoxious “law” that is repugnant to all that is of good conscience in Nigeria.

Whatever else is #NotMyNationalAnthem.

I will support you on this one ma

Oby ezekwesili you are yet to condemn IPOB warning

Noise Maker.

Of what importance are you to Nigeria aside your noise and bigotry on other ethnic.

You can continue singing it in your room.

The fact is you dare not called to State or National Assembly for anything, like screening, or any government function and you do as you say

Sore loser

Reno has spoken.
These two bigots will NEVER

Of what benefit is changing the national anthem to the common man in the streets?

Is he going to eat the national anthem or what exactly?

Are you tinubu fans really dumb?

Dude, there are more pressing issues to tackle in this country! WTF is changing national anthem?

She is right of course. IPOB founders are not expected to sing the Nigerian National Anthem.

Misplaced priority.

Nobody forces you to recite it, just respect yourself and stay silent whenever true Nigerians honours the anthem. Your state's senators including LP lawmakers passed the law. stop the hypocrisy.

-Kiss the truth!

My question is of all the issues we are facing in the country is the National anthem a pressing one??

the question is y is a former minister of education not concerned about over 300k students that won’t write exam tomorrow but cares about national anthem

This ugly witch again ?

because we all know that no such nonsense will happen in the south east and IPOB just limit their authority to their members. Now like I asked before of what use is the new national anthem?

You had your representatives in the senate who agreed on this bill.
You should ask them why they accented to it.

This is purely a legislative issue and isn't coming from the executive.

Really?

Them don change .

What are you going to do ?

The truth is that majority of us are suffering.

Is it all the representatives that supported it? Their one could be one of those that opposed it, so what do you want them to ask them again

It is a shame.

Their useless representatives are bench warmers since 1999 and only rise up when issues relating to SS and SW are being tabled.

Okoro is the enemy of the south.

When is she speaking up against IPOB may 30th terrorism in the SE? It's been 2 weeks plus now.

Better to contact your senator or HOR member that you voted for. That's how to express your dissatisfaction.

Illiterate. Don't look for job to do. Be jumping from one thread to the other. Ekperima

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Never.

You should know these people by now.

Their strength and voice only comes in critisizing others .

Their shithole is beyond repair hence why you never hear pim from fools like this ugly tranny .

Absolutely. They are hypocrites. Kids in the SE about 30,000 of them won't be able to sit for exams due to IPOB terrorism but this woman is more concerned about national anthem. I expect the other agulu man to also release a statement soon about the anthem while avoiding more pressing issues like the future of those kids in the SE at stake.
