President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday gave his assent to the National Assembly's bill to return the country to a healthy country, saying "Nigeria, Thank You".
The original song was modified in 1978: "Father, the people's people" This development drew harsh condemnation from Nigerians who believed that the withdrawal of subsidies had led to so much poverty in Tinubu that the fuel and wage gap had resulted. This is a fundamental mistake.
The Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, refused to bring back the old anthem, declaring that it should continue to be sung at all public events for as long as possible.
Ezekwesili shared on his X account that the policy signed by Tinubu to revive old country music is “disgusting” and disgusting to everyone in Nigeria. "Know that every time you sing the Nigerian national anthem, I, Obiageli "Oby" Ezekwesili..." So is their first priority a new song? Frankly, I thought it was a joke and ignored it. The terrible situation of the 'less big'!
He appealed to Nigerians to save themselves because "There is no one to save us, the Nigerian people." “Their partners and associates with similar conduct in the administration and judiciary of the government in this land to save ourselves and this country,” Ezekwesili wrote.
The return of the old song was also condemned by Senator Sheu Sanni, who made the announcement to the X leader. Wednesday: “Nigeria faces economic and security challenges but it is important to change the song we have bacteria so we choose Prada perfume over penicillin
The Senate passed the bill on Tuesday, a week after it was passed by the House.
Tinubu signed the bill at a joint session of the Senate and the House of Representatives on Wednesday, calling for unity to build the nation. Senate President God willing Akpabio advocated the restoration of the old country and described it as one of Tinubu's top priorities in his first year in office.
Akpabio told Tinubu: “Of all the important things you have done, I think the most important thing is to bring us back to our family tree; the family tree from which we were born. , Although we have many languages, we must lead our brothers, whether in war or politics, we must pay tribute to Nigeria. The best place to start this change is the National Assembly, with representatives elected by the people.
Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has announced that he will continue to sing the same old song, describing the new laws as "disgusting" and describing it as "a time of little things". Called on Nigerians to work, claiming "No one will come to save us" for using "Prada perfume instead of penicillin" in the face of economic and security problems
Senate President Godswill Akpabio defended the decision, saying it was a step in the right direction Remember Nigeria's "family tree" and unite the country . He said this exchange is "the best place to start this change."
Despite these reasons, Nigerians are critical of the government's decision to prioritize a return to colonial music amid the worsening economic crisis. This move demonstrates the conflict between the government's priorities and the public's concerns.
