Okocha, the most patriotic Nigerian footballer ever!

Decades of intercontinental football didnt change his accent.

Here is one small boy who has not spent up to a decade playing real football outside Nigeria claiming he doesnt know the Nigerian anthem well.

He's British. He's only Nigerian by origin.

What are you saying?

Iwobi spent his formative/childhood years outside of Nigeria. Okocha left Nigeria in his late teens.

Why would he remember a song that he didn't need to know until relatively recently?

Bros calm down. Although he was born in Nigeria, he moved to the UK at the age of 4. It's not his fault he doesn't know the national anthem. I only urge him to try and learn it. It's only a few lines.

Can you sing the biafran anthem? slave

Land of the rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our lives from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.


Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty.


We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.


Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
To give and not to count the cost’ each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness.

Errn..even if you cant recite it well, must you say it?
Bros he didn't grow up in Nigeria. All his life has been in the UK. How many Nigerians even know how to recite the National Anthem properly?
