the first Nigerian national anthem was adopted as our official national anthem until 1978 from October 1, 1960 when Nigeria obtained its independence from Great Britain. Lillian Jean Williams, a British expatriate that lived in Nigeria at the time, wrote the words and the music was composed by Frances Berda.

The second adopted in 1978 during a military administration, the anthem is one whose words are the amalgamation of the work of five winning contestants, John A. Ikechukwu, Eme Etim Akpan, Babatunde A. Ogunnaike, Sotu Omoigui and P. O. Aderogbu in a national competition held for the purpose. Benedict Odiase, then the Director of Music Nigeria Police Band, composed the music.
