Kate Henshaw, a Nollywood actress has expressed her dissatisfaction with the current government’s decision to reintroduce the old national anthem.
She specifically criticized the timing of the switch, wondering how reverting to the old anthem would help solve the challenges in the country.
The movie star expressed her sadness over the fact that the country is experiencing “excoriating hardship and lack of good governance on every level.”
On her X handle, she sarcastically wrote: “In the midst of excoriating hardship & lack of good governance on every level but not to worry, going back to a colonial anthem will be a soothing balm and inject patriotism back into our veins, a much needed drug.”
In a different post, Henshaw wrote, “The labour of our heroes past… o ti lo [is gone].”
We recall that on Wednesday President Bola Tinibu approved the National Anthem Bill 2024, making it a law to restore the former anthem ”Nigeria, We Hail Thee”
