Old national anthem: ‘Vagabonds in power distracting us —Charly Boy

 

Renowned Nigerian entertainer, Charles Oputa, famously referred to as Charly Boy or Area Fada, has joined the chorus of criticism against the reinstatement of the old national anthem by President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly, echoing the sentiments of millions of Nigerians.

President Tinubu formally initiated the recitation of the old national anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee,” despite widespread disapproval from the public.

This decision follows the recent enactment of a bill, signed into law by the President, replacing the current national anthem, “Arise O Compatriots,” with “Nigeria, We Hail Thee,” passed by the Senate on Tuesday and the House of Representatives last week.

In his trademark candid manner, Charly Boy, also known as the ‘Senior Advocate of the Masses,’ took to X on Wednesday night to denounce the move, emphasizing that it does not align with the pressing priorities of the Tinubu administration.

“Vagabonds in power wan distract us from hunger, kidnapping, high cost of living by organizing useless priorities for us to follow so we no go dey talk as e dey pain us?”

“Animals in Agbada fit make me start to sing our olden days National Anthem, imposicant.
