“Arise, O Compatriots” is the national anthem of Nigeria.
It was adopted in the late 1970s and is the country’s second national anthem.
The lyrics are a combination of words and phrases taken from five of the best entries in a national contest. The words were put to music by the Nigerian Police Band under the directorship of Benedict P. Odiase.
The Nigerian national anthem lyrics were created by 5 people such as P.O. Aderibigbe, John A. Ilechukwu, Dr. Sota Omoigui, Eme tim Akpan and B.A. Ogunnaike.
The Nigerian pledge of allegiance is recited immediately after the playing of the Nigerian national anthem. It was written by Felicia Adebola Adeyoyin in 1976.
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.
I’m wondering why it has to end with “so help me God”.
Why Do Nigeria National Anthem End With “So Help Me God”?
