Nigeria National Anthem


Stanza 1

Nigeria we hail thee, 

Our own dear native land,

Though tribe and tongue may differ, 

In brotherhood we stand,

Nigerians all, and proud to serve

Our sovereign Motherland


Stanza 2

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.


Stanza 3

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.




NIGERIA NATIONAL PRAYER

 

Oh God of creation

Direct our noble cause

Guide our leaders right

Help our youths 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



The 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 honor and glory

So help me God


THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

 

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

O say, does that star-spangled Banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
