Happy 54 Independence Nigeria

The National flag and anthem is enough to inspire us for each and every passing day, let us use this day to reflect on the lyrics of this anthem and try to amend where we have fallen short. Happy 54th Independence NIGERIA.

"Arise, O Compatriots"

Arise, O compatriots,

Nigeria's call obey

To serve our Fatherland

With love and strength and faith.

The labour 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"

O God of creation

Direct our noble cause

Guide 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.

"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.
