\n
Arise, O compatriots<\/dd>\n
Nigeria’s call obey<\/dd>\n
to serve our fatherland<\/dd>\n
with love and strength and faith.<\/dd>\n
The labour of our heroes past<\/dd>\n
shall never be in vain,<\/dd>\n
to serve with heart and might<\/dd>\n
one nation bound in freedom<\/dd>\n
Peace and unity.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n
Oh God of creation,<\/dd>\n
direct our noble cause<\/dd>\n
Guide thou our leaders right<\/dd>\n
Help our youth the truth to know<\/dd>\n
In love and honesty to grow<\/dd>\n
And living just and true<\/dd>\n
Great lofty heights attain<\/dd>\n
To build a nation where peace<\/dd>\n
And justice shall reign<\/dd>\n
<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

National Pledge<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Nigerian pledge of allegiance is recited immediately after the playing of the Nigerian national anthem: It was written by Professor (Mrs.) Felicia Adebola Adedoyin in 1976.<\/p>\n

\n
I pledge to Nigeria my country.<\/dd>\n
To be faithful, loyal and honest.<\/dd>\n
To serve Nigeria with all my strength.<\/dd>\n
To defend her unity, and uphold her honour and glory.<\/dd>\n
So help me God.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
