Charly Boy Calls National Anthem Change ‘Misplaced Priority’

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has expressed his disapproval over the recent decision to revert to Nigeria’s old national anthem. He argued that changing the anthem is not a pressing issue for Nigerians.

Taking to Instagram he said: “Misplaced priorities, incompetence, greed, and the almighty CORRUPTION can never be covered up by false propaganda. My people, what bothers us more in this country: HUNGER or NATIONAL ANTHEM?”

His post has sparked mixed reactions and conversations from his followers. One user commented, “They don’t have bills in the house to sponsor. They can’t even recite the one we have today; they want to learn the old one written by another man.” Another remarked, “The disconnect between the political rulers and the citizens is alarming.” One follower poignantly asked, “WHICH WAY NIGERIA?”
