Naija News reports that President Bola Tinubu signed the Old National Anthem Bill 2024 on Wednesday, reinstating “Nigeria, we hail thee” as the national anthem, replacing “Arise, O Compatriots.”

In an Instagram post on Friday, Dolapo criticized the school’s refusal to adopt the new anthem, deeming it an unpatriotic act that would not be tolerated. She emphasized that using the old anthem is now illegal following President Tinubu’s signing of the new anthem into law.

Dolapo Badmus stated that the school’s proprietor and head teacher would face legal charges for this offense.

She wrote, “If, as of today, three days after the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria signed and assented the new national anthem into law, you are not able to recite it in its entirety, then you are a suspect.

“I just passed through a private school, and I could hear them singing the old national anthem! ‘Arise oh compatriots’! (We are no longer arising as compatriots; it is Nigeria we are hailing now.)

“I have called the police to come and arrest not only the proprietor but the head teacher as well. I will make sure they are charged to court. Don’t ask me for what offense? Consult any lawyer to learn more. Anyone not singing the new national anthem is sabotaging Nigeria. I won’t tolerate any unpatriotic attitude
