Now I have a retorted mind because SAN Ozekhome has given us the insight and what inspired and brought the Nation Anthem. So I support to be changed to 'Nigeria we hail thee'.
I came here because of Prof. Ozekhome and I wasn't disappointed. I new before the last question was asked that he won't be interested in becoming a judge in any of the Nigeria court. Thank papa for educating Nigerians ❤
Never a dull moment with such learned mind on deck. God bless our very own High Chief & Professor Mike Ozekhome S.A.N for his insight into National issues. Domo Sir.
I said i would not sing this reintroduced national anthem but for the respect i have for this prof, I change my mind. Let's continue trying. Our politicians are the worst. It's well. Love you prof
Really??? Now if a man stays in a house with his family, he doesn't pay his kids school fee and doesn't feed them, later changes his house still don't provide food for his kids and don't pay his kids school fee will it make any difference. Will the problem be solved for him not being irresponsible? Yes or no?
Really ! But in case patrotism is far more important in nation building than whitewashing and rejiging lyrics. We need to practice more of selfless service for the common good. Will the new national anthem stop contract scams, electoral scams and ethnic inequality?
Now I love the re-introduced national anthem...and will go to learn it right away. Prof sounded so convincing! Nigeria would be so POWERFUL IN BROTHERHOOD! It's been "Just how?" We could be so far apart in some basic principles of life! Some quarters believe they own the land and must always lead!!🤔🤔🥲
This professor is knowledgeable, amazing.... thank you sir I've learnt alot from you in this interview. But my point is this, a thief remain a thief until he changed his or her mind from stealing. Therefore the induction of the old national Anthem i doubt if the lyrics alone can change a man from his evil ways
The generation who sang that NA, are the same generation who destroyed Nigeria, looted and murdered her own citizenry (Biafra genocide). You reckoned people were consulted before the old/new NA was agreed upon before independence. So why are Nigerians not consulted before it was brought back last week? In all, wordings or slogans will never ever change anything, you rightly said the politicians are all about themself, so why are we deceiving ourself with a NA. It is a distraction and a complete waste of time.
@@bankolegbolahan2521 The same gaslighting. You people have brought Nigeria down and doing everything to keep it down. Who are you to reply his comment? The NA as sweet as it is can you see the reality on ground and tell if it correspond to the wordings. Our flag was stained with the blood of our youths whom are singing the NA while protesting injustice in the land. Be careful!
@mrld1839 Igbos destroy naija. The greed of Ironsi and Azikiwe made them plot a coup which Ifeajuna and his hired gangs of soldiers executed on 15th January 1966. Ironsi then overthrew the government and destroyed a fully restructured system we inherited from Britain and introduced Decree 34 unitary system that killed naija.
@@ck-sl3kt Mate, you're missing the point. The point here is, the generation who sang the new/old NA are the same generation who destroyed NIGERIA. If we can agree on that, then lets shake hands.
"Nigeria we hail thee" . That I know is not a national anthem. That is a rendition by a foreigner who is giving out his/her opinion about Nigeria . It lacks depth, it lacks empathy, it lacks direction.The first sentence lacks inclusion. It sounds like a distant stranger calling your name and hailing you while throwing words around just to make sense. The rhythm is just there . This anthem is , unsurprisingly loved by the elders who has put us into this mess in the country. We need to "Arise oh Compatriots!!. I agree with Prof. Ozekhome on other issues discussed except the national anthem.
Learned silk, the new generation deserved to be carried along with this anthem change!! You cannot just wake up in 2 weeks hurriedly decide to revert to an old anthem, when we have so many composers in Nigeria.
The youth in this country Nigeria are not ready to take over from the old leaders, they collect money and work for them to remen in the office to be ruling, if the Nigeria youth can refuse money from this old leaders and work with PO and Nigerians will be happy like Senegal,
I’m a big fan of you professor, but you see this old anthem, someone can not learn it without eating or you will just faint 😂😂😂😂😂😂. They should have fix Nigeria economy 1st so we will be singing & enjoying the song with our stomach filled 😂😂😂 me i dey 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃. Make i eat 1st. See as Prof dey sing the song with plenty strength. Wahala no too much. 😂😂😂
It's so funny, that some are saying, the anthem has colonial connotations, what about the ENGLISH, we speak? What about our ENGLISH dresses? If colonisation is the issue, then, we can do away, with ENGLISH & their dresses, we keep wearing. Wisdom is profitable always.
English isn't our first English and we aren't the only country that speaks English or colonial language but the only country singing National Anthem by colonial..
Patriotism starts with those running things. Are the leaders patriotic? I can’t believe in Nigeria more than the president, governors and senators. Where they go, we shall follow.
Prof Ozekhome has shed light on the national anthem saga. We all quarell with this government due to the hardship brought on us, but we must try to understand things before we jump into conclusion. How many of the youths know that Nigerian headed the committee that produced the old nat'l anthem before 1960? We dont know many things but always jump into a conclusion with emotion and whatever the opposition party says are correct. I was neutral during the reintroduction of the old national anthem because i was not armed with enough information. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 We shall rise again!
To me, he still does not make any sense, If you sing the National Anthem 100 times a day will not change Nigeria problem, Which Country in the world sing an anthem that isn't written by their native people...
@tucorrect1965 Yes, you are correct. It doesn't. I think the timing is the reason why we are all angry and not the change itself. Don't forget it is part of national conference recommendations. Unfortunately, our leader cherry pick what to implement in the Oransanye report
Listen to Prof Ozekhome, about the history of the reintroduced Nat'l Anthem it makes a lot of sense, the process was Nigerians, though a foreigner won the bid. This is what the yeye government should have done by communicating how the anthem came about instead of making it look like it's against OBJ.
Ewe is pronounced with F among Ewes in Ghana not W as in Nigeria. Ewe is EFE (IFE Ooni). Ashanti Empire in Ghana bombarded Ewe in a war according to history. Ile- Ife / Oyo responded and defeated Ashanti. God bless and secure Ashanti people. History is great. Yoruba (Ewe Ghana, Ile-Ife/Oyo...) love Ashanti people
Oga, forget story. The sitting governor and the house of Assembly are talking about mindless looting and you are pestering us with how you defended them. Talk about CORRUPTION in high places in Nigeria. Kaduna has to repay the loan Rufai took and the people of Kaduna have the right to know where the money borrowed is.
Rufai borrowed money, that is true but, we can see what he did with the money, in parts of Kaduna, if I may ask, what did the other governors before him do, with the money they borrowed too ?
As much as I love and respect you Prof , i totally disagree with your submission on the national anthem. The question was, what was the importance of changing the anthem with the current predicament of the country. Nice history, several flash points to hold on too but you are absolutely correct but unfortunately at the wrong time. Secondly, you mentioned the youths are only prominent on the social media when you know fully well how your generation have made it so impossible for the youths to break into Nigeria political space of today. Similarly like that last question that was asked if your u were to be called to serve in the judiciary your response isn’t any different from what you are painting the youth . In 3-4 years, that’s enough for you to shake things up in the Judiciary.
SO MUCH IGNORANCE IN THIS COUNTRY. EVEN THE JOURNALIST WAS TALKING ABOUT IT WHEN THE DEBATE STARTED IN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. NOW THEY ARE CRYING THAT PEOPLE WERE NOT CARRY ALONG
Proff. I want to hope that your submission in this interview is not soliciting for position in Government? Because I want believe you are a genuine Christian.
I wish History is reintroduced back to our school system,because it was a total damage by Obasanjo when he stopped history in our schools,it has already damaged our systems.
It’s very sad that you people are only interested in the friendship between the past and present but you are not looking at the possible impact of mis Management of funds on the people of the state. Why don’t you just focus on the fact that a clear and clean conscience fears no accusations. He should simply go and defend himself if he knows he has done no wrong. Your level of journalism is very poor and reasonably unpatriotic to the suffering masses.
How about going back to parliamentary and regional governments at independence instead of this expensive and unsustainable presidential system with bicameral NASS, 36 states governors, etc.
I heard you said if judge is well paid no corrupt and political children were studing in abroad my questions why that judge not judging them for corruption
Proff. You’re highly respected. Pls is changing of An Anthem change the tribal, nepotistic, oppressive, dehumanising culture of the Nigeria? The leadership of today is going to “Oh Isreal unto your Tent”. The Level of corruption shows Nigeria is heading for a crash 💥. Pls Proff reply
The generation that sang that song will only live 10 15 years more and they are history. I wasn't burn when they sang the song. And that is not our problem today. So pls I may not learn the song
If the judge doesn't have 3 wives and many children and doesn't live beyond his means he will get a small retirement home. There is nowhere in the world that wages are enough. You live with common Sense. 1 have lived in the UK for 37yrs and always have a good job. So get real. That is while a lot of people live on credit here
I think all these is to boster El Rufai’s political career and make him a major contender for the northern political leadership thereby paving the way for the presidency.
Prof is not making sense with regards to the old/new national anthem, is prof saying that he and other Nigerians does not half the sense or the brains to write a national anthem? Is prof saying that the national anthem " Arise O Compatriots" that we wrote ourselves was written by mumu people ? If that is the case, then it is useless for us to have so called proffesors. This prof should realize that we don't need the anthem written by a white woman. There is nothing wrong with " Arise O Compatriots" all this defense of the old/new anthem is absolute rubbish, prof's generation is a wasted generation just like Soyinka said.
When sardauna told zik that we can not forget our identity you think he doesn't know what he was saying ?. We are not the same and we can never be. Recently a nigerian was equating cows with human
Only antidote to corruption is godliness with contentment. Resist the temptation to compete with your peers in life. No matter how much you pay a greedy and insatiable man, he remains a kleptomanic.
The old national anthem was so good that it led to a series of coups and laid the foundation for the destruction of Nigeria that we face today. What a lovely anthem. 🤣🤣🤣
The Prof melted my heart. I honestly have a rethink and accepted the reintroduce National Anthem. God bless Nigeria
Now I have a retorted mind because SAN Ozekhome has given us the insight and what inspired and brought the Nation Anthem. So I support to be changed to 'Nigeria we hail thee'.
Prof. SAN Ozkehome is such a unique man exhuming wisdom, honest and judicial competence. He has the love of many and so rightfully!
Elites are elites , he hobnobs with the politicians

A song can actually heal and inspire. I support adopting the old anthem.
