faithful, loyal and honest. To serve God to help Nigeria with all my, strength. To defend her unity and uphold her honour and glory. So help me God". Written by: Prof. (Mrs.) Felicia Adebola Adeyoyin Modification by: Prof. Oko Offoboche | ||||
Nigerian National Pledge solution: | ||||

National Anthem error solution: | ||||
The National Anthems error is that it calls Nigerians to serve their leaders instead of the reverse: '...Nigerians call obey to serve our fathers Land...' the country is under the leaders; Corruption started after the new national prayer was introduced. | ||||
Study the dictionary meaning of obey and serve. | ||||
We should only obey God, the country is not a deity; this is against the Ten Commandments. | ||||
Only the elected or the civil servants who gave themselves to Government should serve the people. | ||||
The National Anthem should be thus: '...Nigerians call to help to build our fathers Land...' | ||||
Or preferably, we should use the Second part of the Anthem that honours God. | ||||

The Anthem before 1 October 1960 was British | ||||
God Save the Queen (King) God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us; God save the Queen! O Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix, Oh, save us all! Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign; May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen! Not in this land alone, But be God�s mercies known, From shore to shore! Lord make the nations see, That men should brothers be, And form one family, The wide world over! From every latent foe, From the assassins blow, God save the Queen! O�er her thine arm extend, For Britain�s sake defend, Our mother, prince, and friend, God save the Queen! | ||||
