Nigeria, We Hail Thee
"Nigeria, We Hail Thee" is the former national anthem of Nigeria, used from independence in 1960 until 1978. Nigeria's present anthem, "Arise, O Compatriots," was adopted in 1978, replacing "Nigeria, We Hail Thee."
"Nigeria, We Hail Thee" was adopted as Nigeria's first national anthem on October 1, 1960. The anthem's lyrics were written by Lillian Jean Williams, a British expatriate who lived in Nigeria when it achieved independence.〔 Frances Berda composed the music for "Nigeria, We Hail Thee."〔
The second national anthem, "Arise, O Compatriots," replaced "Nigeria, We Hail Thee" in 1978.〔
==Criticism==
When it was first announced, the new national anthem faced criticism for a number of reasons. The ''Daily Service'', a newspaper run by the Yoruba organisation Egbé Ọmọ Odùduwà, started a campaign against the anthem, which led to a committee being established to collect signatures as a petition.
