Nigerian New (Old One Restored) National Anthem [Full Instrumental Band Version]

Nigeria, We Hail Thee is the national anthem of Nigeria, formerly used from independence in 1960 until 1978. Arise, O Compatriots, was adopted as Nigeria's national anthem on 1 October 1978 and used until 2024. "Nigeria, We Hail Thee" was officially readopted on 29 May 2024, replacing "Arise, O Compatriots".
English lyrics
I
Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribes and tongue may differ
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians all, are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
II
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.
III
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.

I personally prefer this one over "Arise, o compatriots", the tune and lyrics are more beautiful. Glad they restored it.

Nice

Much prefer this to the other, mainly because of the lyrics.

Una pena para quienes nos gustan del fútbol (quienes nos estaban acostumbrados(as) para con el himno anterior).
