First, it’s the 21st century
We have a lovely anthem, but please, it’s almost 50 years old. This is the 21st century; we need to keep up with the times. And frankly, an Afrobeats anthem is what the nation needs at this time.
Have you heard his voice?
His voice is so good, we need to immortalise it by using it to remake our anthem.
His lyrics are fire
With a little Afrobeats and Oxlade touch, you can put the national anthem to better use to ask your partner out. Imagine picking someone up with “My compatriots don dey rise for you”. You’ll get married that night.
You can show your patriotism in the club
Imagine your national anthem being such a bop that it can make the energy go up in the club. You’ll be singing “the labour of our heroes past” while getting turnt with a bottle of Azul in hand.
It might have a shot at a Grammy
Nigerian music is stealing awards everywhere. Who’s to say we won’t win a Grammy if Oxlade rewrites this anthem for us? Think about the bragging rights we’ll have.
Nigeria would probably make more money
Don’t you want Ku Lo Sa-level streams for Nigeria? Imagine all the streaming money that’ll roll into our economy once he rewrites the national anthem. Nigeria could the use extra revenue right now, and if it means it’ll have to have a national music career, why not?
He’s already repping Nigeria anyway
He showed up for a show in Sierra Leone, and the whole place erupted like he was the president. Give this man an ambassadorship already.
