GREAT NATION: UNOFFICIAL NAIJA NATIONAL ANTHEM

So much has been said about the entity and, by extension, the future of Nigeria. many people have proffered solutions to the myriad of challenges facing the country since the 70s.
As we marked 13 years of unbroken democratic rule, we all waited to hear what the governments have in stock for us in the years ahead.
However, Timi Dakolo, had a different idea.
He gave Nigerians an unofficial national anthem that will always be on our conscience as we sing and meditate on it. The emotionally evoking single Great Nation’ from off the premium edition of his ‘Beautiful Noise’ album, is set to rebuild and restore us as a country.
To Timi Dakolo, music is not just for entertainment, it’s so much more. He has resolved to make a mark with his music as he evokes unbelievable emotion with every song.
He is keen on keeping his philosophy of making good music, to set outstanding standards and to see his seemingly ‘’little light’’ shine.

By virtue of the emotion it evokes and strength of the lyrics, Great Nation has been adjudged Nigeria’s 'Unofficial National Anthem',

The lyrics 

‘’Here we stand as a people
With one song, with one voice
We’re a nation undivided and poise
We will take a stand and build our land in faith
To defend what is ours”.


“Here we are as a people
With one heart, for one course
We’re determined to rebuild and restore
Where freedom reigns and truth prevails
A land where there’s hope for our sons”.
