NATIONAL ANTHEM IN: ENGLISH, IGBO, HAUSA & YORUBA. by Sam Ojukwu — Lyrics

VERSE 1 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. Amen, amen! VERSE 2 Kulienu ndi alanyi, zaa oku Nigeria, K'anyi jeeb'ozi n'okwukwe n'ike, n'ihunanya. K'ike ndi odogwu anyi kpara ghara ila n'iyi, J'obi n'ike jee ozi otu obodo nwe onweya udo, n'adi n'otu. Amen, amen!

About NATIONAL ANTHEM IN: ENGLISH, IGBO, HAUSA & YORUBA.

This score presents the Nigerian National Anthem, "Arise, O Compatriots," arranged in solfa notation by Sir Sam Ojukwu. It is a unifying piece of music that calls citizens to patriotic service, honouring the sacrifices of past heroes and praying for a future bound in freedom, peace, and unity.

What makes this particular arrangement special for choirs is its multilingual setting. The familiar melody is transcribed with stacked verses, allowing the choir to sing the anthem not only in English but also in three major indigenous languages: Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba. This inclusive approach makes it a powerful choice for civic celebrations, national feast days, and special non-liturgical gatherings where the diverse heritage of the congregation is celebrated.
