[b]stand up for the national anthem[/b]
[color =red]Arise, O compatriots
Nigeria's call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom
Peace and unity.
Oh God of creation
Direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace
And justice shall reign.[/color]

[color =purple]Lyrics in Igbo
Kulienu ndi ala-anyi
Zaa oku Naijiria
Je ozi n'okwukwe, n'ike, n'ihunanya
Ka mbo ndi odogwu anyi gbara
Ghara ila n'ighi
Je ozi na ume na obi
Na obodo nwere onwe ya, n'udo, n'idi n'otu[/color]

[color =blue]Lyrics in Hausa
Yaku 'yan Nijeriya ku farka;
Ku amsa kiran Nijeriya;
Domin mu taimaki kasarmu ta haihuwa;
Don aiki ga kasata cikin soyayya da rikon gaskiya;
Domin gudumawar da shuwagabaninmu 'yan kishin kasa suka bada;
kada ta zama a banza;
Muyi aiki da zuciya daya da girmamawa a gareta;
Domin ta kasance kasa daya mai yanci ga kowa tare da hadin kai da zaman lafiya.[/color]
