The old National Anthem which was reinstated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu seems to be causing havoc as Nigerian celebrities including Sabinus and Falz, were captured on video struggling to sing.
Clips showing the celebrities, including Sabinus, Odumdublvck, Poco Lee, Falz, Prince Ajuda, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, and ex-footballers such as Joseph Yobo, Samson Siasia, Elderson Echiéjilé, Vincent Enyeama, and Carl Ikeme, all participating in a charity match hosted by Super Eagles captain Williams Troost-Ekong, went viral.
The Nigerian national anthem was recently altered, returning to the version used throughout the first and second republics.
The anthem was altered in 1978 by former President Olusegun Obasanjo during his first term as a military ruler.
Several public figures at the game were spotted struggling to sing along when the anthem was played, which was one of the highlights of the Troots-Ekong charity match.
One of the most hilarious things was how unconcerned Sabinus was as the anthem was being sung.
