Nigerian singer Joeboy has expressed his disapproval of the federal government’s decision to prioritize changing the national anthem over addressing the country’s pressing issues. This comes after President Bola Tinubu signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law, reinstating the old anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”
Joeboy took to social media to question the government’s priorities, writing, “Of all the problems Nigerians have to deal with, changing the national anthem is a priority? Okay, that’s interesting.” His comment highlights the frustration many Nigerians feel about the government’s focus on symbolic changes rather than tackling the country’s numerous challenges.
