Nigeria National Anthem (Instrumental) Arise, O Compatriots
"Arise, O Compatriots" is the national anthem of Nigeria. It was adopted in 1978 and is the country's second ever national anthem.
The lyrics are a combination of words and phrases taken from five of the best entries in a national contest. The words were put to music by the Nigerian Police Band under the directorship of Benedict E. Odiase. Though it has two verses, usually only the first is sung. On some occasions, the second verse is recited as "The National Prayer".
(English Lyrics)
Arise, O compatriots
Nigeria's call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom
Peace and unity.
