Just imagine! Like the controversy surrounding the release of hardened unrepentant criminals that the government initially celebrated as achievement, now another unimaginable controversy is setting about a nation's anthem rendition.

For goodness sake, these are the necessary things that ought to have been thoroughly reviewed if needed be before the official process of changing a country national anthem be announced.

However, as expected of policy somersaults in the the Tinubu's rudderless government, Nigerians & the international community is about to witness another bout of their cluelessness ineptitude and incompetency

NOA is idle. It is another source of leakage.

This agency needs to be scrapped ASAP.

We would soon be asked to recite it before we sleep at night and when we wake up in the morning.

Recite the it before making any comment grin

Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand
Nigerians all,
And proud to serve our sovereign Motherland.

Needless controversy from an hypocritical government.

As in ehn. It's not funny anymore.

You see to see the level of hunger and deprivation here in Anambra.

By heaven, this useless anthem will be repealed once the frog returns to its hole.

Over syllabus

Forcing this thing on us against our wish

Re: NOA Issues Guidelines on National Anthem Recitation At Official Events by MatrixCircle: 5:49pm On Oct 18, 2025
Just like signing the Presidential pardon of hardened armed Robbers, murderers and drug barons without any member of the judiciary or Presidential team thoroughly going through the list. Until after the public outcry before they now looked into it.

The highest level of incompetency. grin

Competency: skills + Experience + knowledge.
Re: NOA Issues Guidelines on National Anthem Recitation At Official Events by Jamiubond009(m): 5:58pm On Oct 18, 2025
Very yeye people as if reciting the anthem will put food on one's table. Majoring in the minor as usual

Obidient read what Arthur says below:

Billionaire Arthur Eze on why he joined APC and donned PBAT’s cap:

"Not only did I wear Tinubu's cap, I also sang his popular mandate song (he smiled) .
You see.....Only a fool will not see the economic reformation President Tinubu is driving, and it’s already yielding results. APC is the best party in Nigeria today, and you think I won’t join them? All those useless noisemaker Ekukes are blind. That’s why they believe a man who did absolutely nothing as governor for eight years is better than the man who built Lagos’ economy. If they are fools, I’m not

Have started begging for your own water?
Because ya'll are shouting "Poverty in the land" as if there was ever a government in the past that Nigerians did not complain of hunger and poverty.

This is one of the most significant achievement done by this agency rolling out the guidelines to how we could show patriotism and nationalism without religious bigotry. No prayers by a Christian or a Muslim all prayers should be recited through the anthem!

Create a problem where none exists and start running around trying to fix it. Rinse and repeat. He changed the national anthem on a whim when he was battling self-esteem and to confirm if he was truly the president. Unfortunately, it only reduced patriotism as 90% of citizens cannot recite the colonial national anthem offhand.

Very apt and precise submission calculated in view of seeing a working Nigeria. The consistent back and front debate and review of government executive orders, appointment and national symbolic changes is becoming unbecoming and making it look as if the country is a Banana Republic. Even though reformation is inevitable but it should not be on the basics.

Finding fault in every single Government's policy is in your blood and that of your likes.
They now decided to make it easier, yet you are condemning the idea.
Since you have it in mind that you can't see anything good in Tinubu's government, just continue as usual, you will condemn till he ends his presidency.

You just wanted to insult and castigate the Tinubu administration for nothing.
