Old Nigerian National Anthem Lyrics

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.
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 shall reign.

This anthem get plenty meaning. E dey call all Nigerians to stand up and serve their country with love, strength, and faith. E dey remind us of our heroes wey don fight for our freedom and how their labour no go ever be in vain. E dey tell us to serve with all our heart and might, to build a nation wey go dey free, peaceful, and united.

New Nigerian National Anthem Lyrics

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.

Our flag shall be a symbol That truth and justice reign,

In peace or battle honour’d, And this we count as gain,

To hand on to our children A banner without stain.

O God of all creation, Grant this our one request,

Help us to build a nation Where no man is oppressed,

And so with peace and plenty Nigeria may be blessed.

The new anthem dey talk about brotherhood and serving our motherland, but e no get the same passion and call to action like the old one. The old anthem dey call us to remember our heroes, to serve with all our heart, and to build a nation wey go dey free, peaceful, and united. The new one dey miss that deep sense of duty and commitment.

One day, a young Nigerian boy named Tunde dey waka with him papa, and he ask, “Papa, why dem change our national anthem? The old one dey sweet my belle pass the new one.”

Him papa smile, he say, “Tunde, the old anthem get plenty meaning. E dey remind us of our duty to our fatherland and our heroes wey don fight for our freedom. E dey inspire us to serve with all our heart and build a better Nigeria. The new one no get the same depth, e no dey call us to action like the old one.”

Tunde think about wetin him papa talk. He realize say the old anthem dey full of wisdom and lessons wey we suppose remember. As dem dey waka, him papa continue, “Tunde, make I tell you something important. For this life, we must remember our roots and the people wey don fight for our freedom. We must serve our country with love, strength, and faith. We must work together to build a nation wey go dey free, peaceful, and united.”

The words of the old anthem dey echo for Tunde mind. He realize say the old anthem dey full of important messages. “The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain.” This line dey remind us say we must continue the work of our heroes and make sure their sacrifices no go waste.

“Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause.” This line dey remind us say we need God’s guidance to achieve our goals. We need make we dey honest and true, to build a nation where peace and justice go reign.

My people, make we learn from this story. Make we remember the old anthem and the deep meaning wey e carry. Make we serve our country with love, strength, and faith. Make we remember the sacrifices of our heroes and make sure their labour no go ever be in vain.

Make I give una small words of wisdom. For Bible, Proverbs 22:28 talk say, “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” This verse dey remind us to respect and remember the things wey our fathers don set. The old anthem na part of our heritage, e carry important messages wey we suppose remember and live by.

Another verse, 2 Timothy 2:15, talk say, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” This verse dey remind us to always strive for excellence and to hold on to the truth. The old anthem dey full of truth and wisdom, make we hold am tight.

As we dey waka through life, make we remember say, “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” – Muhammad Ali. Make we serve our country and each other with all our heart.

Thank you for reading. Until next time, make we dey stay true to our roots, make we dey serve with love, strength, and faith, and make we always remember the deep meaning of our old national anthem. God bless you all.
