"Nigeria, We Hail Thee" is the national anthem of Nigeria, used from independence in 1960 until 1978, and then from 2024. Nigeria's former anthem, "Arise, O Compatriots," was adopted in 1978, replacing "Nigeria, We Hail Thee." On 29 May 2024, Bola Tinubu signed a bill reinstating "Nigeria, We Hail Thee."

Lyrics_ Lillian Jean Williams, 1959,
Music_ Frances Berda, 1959.

Adopted_ 1 October 1960,
Relinquished_ 1978,
Readopted_ 29  May 2024.

Nigeria we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians all, and proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.

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.

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.
