Nigeria Reverts to Old National Anthem, Sparking Public Outcry

President Tinubu's decision to reintroduce the pre-1978 anthem faces backlash over timing and lack of consultation.

The new anthem, 'Nigeria We Hail Thee,' was originally used from 1960 to 1978.
Critics argue the change diverts attention from Nigeria's economic and security crises.
The bill was passed swiftly, raising concerns about the legislative process.
Supporters believe the old anthem promotes patriotism and cultural heritage.
Many Nigerians, including public figures, have vowed not to sing the new anthem.
