Rasheedat Ajibade, the captain of the Super Falcons, Nigeria’s women’s national football team, is leading by example by familiarizing herself with Nigeria’s reintroduced national anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”
President Bola Tinubu’s signing of the bill to reinstate the colonial-era national anthem, replacing “Arise, O Compatriots,” has stirred mixed reactions among Nigerians.
In a video shared on her TikTok handle late Wednesday, Ajibade revealed her efforts in learning the anthem and encouraged others to do the same.
The video shows Ajibade listening to the anthem and attempting to recite some parts of the lyrics, demonstrating her commitment to embracing the change.
In her caption, she wrote, “I don start to dey learn my own; I no fit argue abeg, as this one na him be naija problem now.”
