Nigeria’s New National Anthem (Full Lyrics): Tinubu knocks off Obasanjo’s record


President Bola Tinubu Tuesday, at a joint session of the National Assembly, announced the outlawing of the current national anthem and the return of the old.

The president later arrived at the joint session and confirmed ‘Nigeria, We Hail Thee’ as the “latest national anthem” before joining lawmakers in singing the new anthem, which was initially introduced in 1960 but later outlawed during the Olusegun Obasanjo military regime in 1978.

Nigeria’s new National Anthem

Nigeria we hail thee

Our own dear native land

Though tribes and tongue may differ

In brotherhood we stand

Nigerians all, are 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 shall be blessed.
