Following the reinstatement of Nigeria’s old national anthem, “Nigeria We Hail Thee,” comedian Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke, also known as Igosave, has urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to restore the country’s economy to its former standard.
President Tinubu signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law on the 29th of May, 2024, officially bringing back the old anthem.
In response to this, the funny act emphasized that the government should also improve the country’s economy and security standards now that the old anthem has been reintroduced.
Via his Instagram handle he said, “Since una don bring back old national anthem; can you people bring back our old dollar price, old fuel price, old flight prompt operating style, old taxation, old security standards et al.”
Also, other celebrities including Kate Henshaw and singer Joeboy, have also criticized the Federal Government for prioritizing the change of the National Anthem over addressing the numerous challenges facing the country.
