Why They Changed Nigeria National Anthem

ANARCHY AND DOOM??!
My father worked with the French in Dumez construction company, Onitsha, before I was born. He found favour with them, probably because he understood their bad English.
When they noticed my mom was pregnant with a second child (not me yet), they got disappointed in my dad, and they asked him why he wanted to have two children given the state of the government at the time. In reply he made it clear to them that he wasn't stopping at "two" (the rest of us were going to show)
He made it clear to them that his family was not being fed by the government, but by his own sweat (and he did sweat it out for all of us).

That was the mentality of the Igbo man...
Never depend on any government, or anybody for that matter. Work. Study. Move. Show yourself approved. Most importantly, take care of your family. Let your wife shine brighter than yourself. Never let your children know how hard you work to make things easy for them (till they come of age).

The Nigeria National Anthem was changed because the words were not kept. The last stanza of the old anthem says: "...To hand over to our children our banner without stain." they know that I would have asked questions, so they changed it. The banner was stained due to youthful exuberance of very young men at the top, and when things fall apart, the centre cannot hold.

So Nigeria has been in a state of entropy; that's why things are so scattered.
That's why so much money was spent on the steel company in Ajaokuta. That's why our electric power always breaks my heart. That's why our refineries don't work.
That's why we loot ourselves. "Foundation once destroyed..."

So I have been studying, working, praying to the Almighty, to be able to take care of my family, and to leave my footprints on the sands of time.
Same goes for so many honest Nigerians.

Those who are experts in animals, for example know how to tame the aggressive ones. It comes from studying.
Education should help one to understand the times. To know how to secede if you want to, and how to go about it. Educated leaders know that they are like parents in homes - you don't see your children as enemies and go killing them.
In saner climes, child services will take ur children from you if you don't know how to care for them; what it means here is that a leader should step aside if he/she cannot handle the excesses of the led (especially when they're unarmed and harmless).

Innocent Chukwuma took time to build himself, now even the government buys from him.
Donald Trump had no political packaging (if you like) but he took years to build himself; so when he demanded for their votes, the American people didn't see why they should vote him, but at the same time they didn't see why-not.

Let's stop the chaos. The Anarchy. We have the industry to lead our people to an enviable state. We will take over because of what we know. Not for hate, but for love. And we'll bring as many to the love of the most high.

My father has seven children,  perfectly brought up... don't mind those french men
