In a surprising turn of events, the Nigerian House of Representatives has passed a bill to revert to the old national anthem, "Nigeria, We Hail Thee," replacing the current anthem, "Arise, O Compatriots."
This decision to return to the old anthem has sparked a mix of reactions across the nation and Nigeria Info's Hard Facts callers have shared their opinions and sentiments regarding this change.
