WE HAIL THEE, THE COLONIAL CREED (ANTHEM)


Nigeria we hail thee
Our own dear native land
Though tribes and tongue may differ
In brotherhood we stand
Nigerians all, are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.

Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign
In peace or battle honour'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.

O God of all creation
Grant this our one request.
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.

My own thoughts on the anthem is; the above was a creed and the Arise oh compatriots was a call to serve. 
I believe our fathers are just suffering from Stockholm syndrome, that's why they prefer the anthem composed by the colonial masters to the one that is Indigenous. 
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Oh God of creation, direct our Noble course
Guide our leaders right, help our youth the truth to know.
With Love and honesty to grow.
And live in just and truth
Great lofty height attain
To build a Nation where peace and justice shall reign. 🙏
