Abuja, Nigeria – In a shocking turn of events, the Senate and the National Orientation Agency (NOA) are locked in a fierce dispute over the country’s newly introduced national anthem.
The controversy has sparked a nationwide debate, leaving citizens wondering which version is authentic.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has vehemently rejected the NOA’s version, citing glaring errors and discrepancies.

“We will not be swayed by the Senate’s misinformed claims.”
As the standoff continues, Nigerians are left wondering which version to sing along to. The controversy has sparked a national conversation, with many calling for clarity and unity.
