I feel like sharing with you my passion for my nationality - Nigeria.
I enjoy reading through the anthem and pledge,
though many Nigerians don't even give much attention to it.
The Nigerian National Anthem
Arise O' Compatriots,
Nigeria's call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labours of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom,
peace and unity
O God of Creation,
direct our noble cause,
Guide (thou) our leaders 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
The Nigerian Pledge
I pledge to Nigeria my country
To be faithful loyal an honest
To serve Nigeria with all my strength
To defend her unity
And uphold her honour and glory
So help me God
Our level of patrotism can be evaluated based on how much meaning we can derive from the lyrics of this anthem and pledge. Really amazing that some of our political leaders don't even know the words, how do we expect them to act sacrificially as the anthem demanded.
I'm very positive about this country that it's going to fulfil her purpose. The land will be purged of her bastards and it's be one the best nations of the world in every good sense of it.
