Based on the recent the change in the National anthem, singer Brymo has said that President Tinubu is his Greatest Of All Time ,G.O.A.T, among all the previous presidents in the country.
He made the disclosure in an Instagram Story he posted on Friday May 30, 2024. He posted the lyrics of the new national anthem, with particular attention on the first stanza and comparing Africa and Nigeria as a whole to “polygamy” and a “family unit.”
“He said that, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is officially my G.O.A.T of all the Nigerian presidents! Read the lyrics of the new national anthem. The first stanza is all you need; it asserts Nigeria for the motherland and now Africa can be the fatherland and be a symbol of polygamy and we can all focus on one family unit. My favourite part is ‘In brotherhood, we stand.’
“We are all now members of the greatest cult on earth. Nigeria is now the only brotherhood that every boy and ambitious girl must belong to in this country. I am very happy.”
The change came about when the Senate and the House of Representatives approved the legislation to change the national anthem from “Arise, O Compatriots” to “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.” Shortly after that, on May 29, 2024, President Tinubu signed the bill into law, officially changing the national anthem.
Nigeria’s Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced this on Wednesday, May 29, during a joint session of the National Assembly, which also marked the 25th anniversary of Nigeria’s 4th Republic.
This generated wide reactions from Nigerians across social media platforms, ranging , even as some vent their anger and frustrations, while a few others agreed with the change.
But for Brymo and happiness , it was a thing of excitement to go back to the previous national anthem.
I“Nigeria, We Hail Thee,” was written by Lillian Jean Williams, a British expatriate who resided in country during the independenceq, while Frances Berda composed the music. However “Arise O Compatriots,’ was written by Pa Benedict Odiase, a Nigerian composer, and it was adopted in 1978.
