The story is not personal to me alone but every  single person whose blood flows Nigerian. We have all been touched one way or another by the events in the country these past couple of years.

One thing that unites us is our love for music and football of course.

I propose that we have a new National Anthem and this Song (Great Nation) by our very own Timi Dakolo resonates with the purest of Nigerian hearts and souls. It represents what we are all about now and the clamor for change, peace, unity, love, security, oneness, growth, advancement and all that is good.

Please sign this petition to have our nation’s anthem changed to ‘our Great Nation’ (lyrics below)

We are all we have!

I have hope in Nigeria, Do you? 

Great Nation by Timi Dakolo

Here we stand as a people
With one song, with one voice
We're a nation, undivided and poised
We will take our stand, and build our land
With faith to defend what is ours

Here we are as a people
With one heart, for one cause
We're determined to rebuild and restore
Where freedom reigns, and truth prevails
A land where there's hope for us all
A land where there's hope for us all

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun
We're a great nation

Though we are many people
Different tribes, different tongues
We're united in our strength and resolve
To uphold the honour of our land
And for generations to come
And for generations to come

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun
We're a great nation
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun

We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe...
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe...

We're a great nation.
