The Values Of The Anthems And The Pledge To Nigeria: Comparative Studies Of National Anthems And The Pledge To Nigeria (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789784987400)

Out of sheer arrogance or ignorance or negligence, most political leaders in the past and present have violated the oaths they took before they assumed offices. This probably explains reasons most Nigerian citizens have failed to fulfill the pledges they made to their country when they were in schools. Since Government comes and goes, the people who would remain need not allow anything to tamper with the value systems which are embedded in the National Anthem and The Pledge To Nigeria. Most citizens, especially youths do not realize that failures to fulfil their pledges to the nation is breaking part of either Criminal or Civil Law. Consequently, malpractices that range from cheating during the examination to electoral fraud seem to have grown into bacteria that kill the patriotic spirits within Nigerian Value System. The bacteria also give births to vices and crimes which are the causes of social, economic and political catastrophes in the society. This book which is designed to be studied by both youths and adults provides insights into the National Value System and attempts to interpret the meanings of the two anthems and the pledge to Nigeria. Through their interpretations, the author also gives vivid pictures of the things that are intended to characterize the people as responsible and reasonable citizens of Nigeria at the earliest stage of their lives.
