Controversial singer Brymo has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law, reinstating the old anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.” Brymo argued that the reintroduced anthem has better lyrics in terms of content and context.
On his Instagram account, Brymo wrote: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is officially my G.O.A.T. of all-time Nigerian presidents. Read the lyrics of the new national anthem; the first stanza is all you need. It asserts Nigeria as ‘motherland,’ allowing Africa to be the ‘fatherland,’ symbolizing unity. My favorite part is: ‘In brotherhood, we stand.’ We are now part of the greatest brotherhood on earth. Nigeria is the only brotherhood every ambitious person should belong to in this country! I am very happy!”
President Tinubu signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law on May 29, reinstating the old anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.” However, some celebrities, including Kate Henshaw, comedian Igosave, and singer Joeboy, have criticized the government for prioritizing the anthem change over addressing the country’s numerous challenges.
