NATIONAL ANTHEM
Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribes and tongues 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 may be blessed.
NATIONAL PLEDGE
I pledge to Nigeria, my country
To be faithful, loyal and honest
To serve Nigeria with all my strength
To defend her unity and uphold her honour and glory
So help me. God

Brief History About The New Nigeria National Anthem ;
“Nigeria, We Hail Thee” was approved as Nigeria’s national anthem on October 1, 1960.
However, Lillian Jean Williams, a British expatriate who resided in Nigeria at the time of its independence, wrote the words for the anthem.
Frances Benda composed the music for “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”
The song served as the national anthem until it was replaced by “Arise, O Compatriots” in 1978.
On May 23, 2024, the National Assembly approved a bill to replace “Arise, O Compatriots” with “Nigeria, We Hail Thee”.
President Bola Tinubu signed the bill into law on May 29, 2024.
