AnthemThe Nigerian National AnthemArise, O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey To serve our fatherland With love and strength and faith The labor 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 leaders right Help our youths 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. Anthem - History Prior to Nigeria's independence in 1960, the British National anthem was used at festivals and official ceremonies, and naturally it prayed for the British Monarch. Shortly before independence, a new Anthem, submitted by two British ladies, was adopted as the new anthem. The words were written by Lilian Jean Williams, while the music was composed by Frances Benda In 1978 the last anthem was changed to one that would reflect an African theme. The National Publicity Committee had organized a competition for a new National Anthem, and the final words were formed from the entries of the best five picks namely: John A Ilechukwu, Eme Etim Akpan, B A Ogunnaike, Sota Omoigui and P. O. Aderibigbe. The music was then composed by The Nigerian Police Band, headed by Ben Elide Odiase. ___________________________________________ Patriotic Ringtones (Nigerian Anthem) http://reviewcentre.ringtonearena...ring_tones/anthems_ring_tones.asp or http://www.shamrock.ie/ringtones/tones/national.htm or http://www.yabedo.com/ringtones/id/9900/type/0 Cameroonians who were present were amazed to discover that Nigerian market women and fishermen could sing their National Anthem so well. ... http://www.postnewsline.com/2005/03/strongdouala_ti_3.html Nigerian National Anthem, etc National Anthem Lyrics of the Nigerian National Anthem.
