NIGERIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM IN IGBO, YORUBA AND HAUSA

By

English lyrics[edit]

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.

Oh God of creation
Direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace
And justice shall reign.



Lyrics in Igbo

Ka íké ndị odogwu ànyị kpàrà
Ghàrá ịla n'íyì
Ji óbì, n'íké jee ozi
Ótù obodo nwe ònwé ya
Ùdó na idi n'ótù

Lyrics in Hausa

Yaku 'yan Nijeriya ku farka;
Ku amsa kiran Nijeriya;

Don aiki ga ƙasata cikin soyayya da riƙon gaskiya;
