The music for the new anthem, which replaced God Bless The Queen, which hitherto had been the country’s anthem, was written by Mr. Philip Comi Gbeho. His piece was one of the many entries that had been presented to the National Anthem Selection Committee. For unexplained reasons, the government discarded the original lyrics by Mr. Gbeho's. It and replaced by one written by the commissioned literary committee. It was these lyrics that Mr. Gbeho went with as the National Anthem on the March 6, 1967.
