Nigerian artist Adekunle Gold, has said that the song “Great Nation” by Timi Dakolo, his colleague, would have been a better national anthem than the one the nation eventually went back to.
President Bola Tinubu reportedly signed National Anthem Bill 2024 into law on Wednesday, bringing back the traditional anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”
Adekunle Gold reacted by questioning why the government had not adopted Timi Dakolo’s “Great Nation” as the nation’s new anthem.
“No one thought Timi Dakolo’s Great Nation makes a better anthem?” he wrote on his X Twitter, which actually brought about a lot of reaction on social media.
