- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- When the bill was introduced by the Senate Leader to the Chamber, it wasn't done as an executive bill, he was the sponsor of the bill and it was subjected to all the processes of legislation by the Senate, including debates and public hearings, with no dissenting voice with regards to the return to the old anthem
Sen. Victor Umeh, LP Member Representing Anambra Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly

I so much love and cherish Arise News for always standing for the truth ❤
I love rufai, fearless man, always hitting point without stammering
THIS LP SENATOR SHOULD BE SHOWN THE DOOR COMES 2027.
These kinds of senators aren't what the LP stands for.
This LP Senate member is a disgrace to me as an Obidient. It's sad. What a jerk.
Sir, it is a mistake to think Labour Party and Obidient movement are the same. I took this issue up with a LP member of Assembly in my state and he agreed. Having said that, at the moment there is no opposition to this government.
The Obidients are Very different from Labour party members o. It is high time the key leadership of the Obidients (Aisha, Dele, Kenneth Okonkwo, Datti (DBA), Boss man Obi himself, and others start vetting every candidates and making their names public even if they're in other parties. Character and competency is what Obidients stand for.
Senator Umeh used to be very shape, but did not do justice to this interview, sadly
Who else was boiling hearing the senator talk?
☝🏿
I never rated this man. And today he proved me right
👆
In short am speechless and very disappointed from senator umeh
Rufai u r the best, ur question is top notch..... The best
Mumu man. One of those that rode on the back of Peter obi
Umehi is a disappointment in defense of this rubbish bill; no input from his constituency - they’re out of touch. He has ended his stay in the congress.
Thank you Rufai for your probing and valuable questions.
So out of touch! It’s heartbreaking. This yeye senator is just saying what only his pocket understands. I’m so pained Kia 😢 people are hungry, insecurity everywhere in the country, parents cannot afford school fees anymore! Fear God o
We need to start calling back assembly members that do not speak in the interest of the people
Well I don't have any labour rep in my constituency. Anyways I really hope the obidient movement can come together and start a recall process for any member of the national assembly who got their on the wings of the obedient movement. Once they realise they got their by the movement and can be removed, then others will sit up. We are where we are because there are no consequences for taking Nigerinas for granted.
@GoAt_ng okay sir, let's continue to enjoy our failed representation. Their choices have minimal effect on him
Senator Umeh is a total disgrace to LP and Anambra
No one attempts to defend APC without looking stupid. Imagine how and what Umeh looks like in this interview.
I tell you
Reverting to Old National Anthem marks a new beginning for a 60year old nation, oh what a shame.
This man makes me feel bad,leaders without vision
APC corrupts everything it comes in contact with
This LP senator has been corrupted
That cap on that senators head is what is making him not think properly. He needs to change it 😅😅😅
This govt will list change of national anthem as achievements
These people are there to represent themselves and not the people. So shameful to hear Mr Ume, defend the indefensible.
What do you expect from someone who has forgotten the process that brought him into office and is not following the crowd.
Evil politicians
You can see why Soludo dealt with that red cap chief.
You think they passed the national anthem bill without huge envilope for each of them.
The National anthem is meant for the National Assembly and the president. You can’t pass a bill of such kind without seeking approval from the Public. This is just the same activity carried out by INEC. Giving us something different vs what we voted 🗳️
God bless you mr Rufai oseni
To change Nigeria, we need up to 500 Peter Obi's in the corridor of power. Where are the upright men and women in Politics?.
Please i hope they will not use our money to start teaching people the national atherm.
This man is something else.did he go through the words,are they acting as such.
Bravo Senator Victor Umeh.
Glad to know that the Nigerian Senate and House of representatives are now Choir groups.
Hope you sing the old national anthem to your families twice a day for a better tomorrow for them. Screwloose and knuckle head Politicians
"Na Statistics we go chop"....
NA NATIONAL ANTHEM WE GO CHOP????
Victor Umeh is actually representing my zone in the senate. He is a disgrace for all the rubbish he said in this interview. This is the reasoning of our representatives. They speak for themselves and Tinubu and not for we the masses. We say no to the anthem written by our colonial masters. We stick to the one written by Ben Odiase.
Recall him or ensure he does not go back to Senate.
We will do the needful next time. These guys care for themselves alone. So they should be recycled always and should not think it’s their birthright to stay and eat the national cake alone and come to TV to say rubbish.
When was the process of public hearing announced or published? Most of them of LP MUST not go back to NASS.
@AI-lt2cf so you were a mumu not to have known who you voted? You just call yourself a big MUMU without even knowing it lol. I only voted people I know so I thank my senator and Rep for representing my interest.
We the people of Anambra must ensure that Victor umeh is never send back to the national assembly. He is a great failure and disgrace to us.
I am ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS LP senator. Arise crew, take your flowers. Ayo, you asked one of the best questions today.
so quick changing national anthem because Obasanjo did allow him to create more local government now his turn he wants to remove Obasanjo national anthem, why not change the constitution people of Nigeria has been asking that is killing our country Nigeria progress
It is disheartening that Nigeria chose to change its post-independence national anthem to adopt one imposed by the colonial British authorities. The original anthem, "Arise, compatriots, Nigeria's call obey" was a symbol of our hard-earned freedom and a tribute to the sacrifices made by countless Nigerians who fought and died for independence from British rule. By reverting to a colonial anthem, we undermine the very essence of our national pride and the struggles endured by our forefathers.
Nigerians who laid down their lives in the fight for independence did so with the hope of establishing a nation free from colonial influence. Their bravery and commitment to freedom should be honored with a national anthem that reflects our sovereignty and unique cultural heritage, not one imposed by former colonial rulers.
This senator depicts the level of intelligence of the people we call senators/reps. It is very appaling to even think mere words will bring forth the needed advancements as a modern society. Nigeria will NOT move forward with such persons at the helm of affairs. They lack common sense and ability to make shrewd decisions for the common good.
Arise TV, please you have to represent this interview without hicup or invite the Senator again on the process, it is necessary for us as Nigeria to know the process is democratic
They should kuku make it compulsory for us to start singing On your mandate we shall stand as anthem. Enikure gbogboyin. The man is just saying nonsense..
😂😂😂 on which mandate?
Ndi Oshi, ndi oshi.
It's a serious challenge for us, as a nation, if some people are saying no, to "Nigeria we hail thee" because of colonialism, if I may ask, what about the English language we speak? The suits, news casters wear/the English dresses everyone wears all over the place? This anthem speaks volumes about what we need, to bring us together, as Nigerians & every song has a spiritual undertone.
Honestly, I used to rate Senator Umeh very highly until this interview. Imagine him saying that because we are practicing representative government, the opinions of those he represents doesn't matter as long as he's there. Senator, you are supposed to represent the opinions and concerns of your people, not yours. You are there as a vehicle. No wonder these people don't make good laws that improve the lives and well-being of people they represent. They really don't know why they are there. Shame.
SENATOR Umeh, you have failed. I think Peter Obi should consult if you have not partake of the forbidding fruit of APC. You're a big disappointment.
Senseless Senator
Imagine the calibre of people in a country’s National Assembly!
It baffles me how the Arise reporters come to interviews without preparing to ask the guest the right questions. Imagine the following questions;
1. Do you think the house and senate should take this decision instead of a referendum?
2. Did Senetor Umeh consult with his constituents if they wanted the anthem changed? Does he have proof of this if the answer is yes?
3. Nigeria today faces serious economic problems including the food inflation. Why is the expedited pass of the anthem bill the most important thing to the legislators?
So many questions.
My Man Rufi don't mind him if not that P.O bring him back to Life please my people are we going front or back.
Am highly disappointed for this people we got to national assembly through Obident because they are not different from others
Politicians in Nigeria are same same
How does the change in the National Anthem impact on the current extreme cost of living killing the common man in Nigeria, Priorities???????!!!
I hope we are seeing how our legislation is been run
I bet you anytime that anthem is sang anywhere folks will be singing the one they know before!
Ume I'm disappointed..
So as a Nigerian we are not proud of our citizens, that we prefer post colonialism, according to speaker what the know in their generation, we will stick to what we know in our generation.

Oh Nigeria we hail thee! 🙌
I will make sure Rufai becomes my inlaw, either we marry from his family or they marry from my family
Yes. This national anthem is preferable
Olodo
I thought this man has sense o. As an Obidient, I’m thoroughly embarrassed by him.
Just looking and listening to unfortunate Anambra State Senator Umeh. One could easily tell he is a native doctor.
Completely clueless about the role of government.
Now, it's clear why APGA party dumbed him. They finally realized how foolish he is to the party and Nigeria at large.
He should revert to his shrine before the next raining season so as to protect his idols.
Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha 😆 😂 🤣 😅 the man's uselessness mara over and he's proud of it!! Pls people that are involved, bring this man back next time maybe he will trying nativing doctor service than shaming his people
APC have nothing to offer this country.
I prefer comedians than Nigeria government that is the level it reached now, which one did you prefer comment below 👇
How much are we Nigerians going to be paying the original author anytime is played in tv, radio sports events or public events? They didn't think of it.
Thank goodness the Obidients are Very different from Labour Party members o. It is high time the key leadership of the Obidients (Aisha, Dele, Kenneth Okonkwo, Datti (DBA), Bossman Obi himself, and others start vetting every candidate and making their names public even if they're in other parties. Character and competency are what Obidients stand for.
Thank Rufai,l wrote the same thing before you spoke actually.The old anthem,which is now the new one was operated in a parliamentary system of government not federalism.For this new anthem to achieve it aim they might as well bring back parliamentary system.
It's quite a shame that at this point in our nation, what we are discussing is national anthem, where there are so many important economic situation that should be talked about to help Nigerians...
Just as Rufai said, our leaders are really directionless
I totally agree with senator Umeh. We need to deconstruct Nigeria if at all we want it to work. I support agbado on this. Please people shine your eyes.
Senetor didn't realize he was been set up to come and make a mess of himself. See what he's defending
Tinubu can not even resite this old anthem he signed trust me.
A new begging in the epicentre of absurdities, a mirage!
These LP representatives are worse hypocrites.
Dont worry we will all becoming for the public hearing going forward get prepared.. 120million youth
Na Waoooh it’s seems Senator Umeh now see’s everything this government is doing as perfect!
LP > this guy has stylishly used your party to bounce back and I see him decamping to APC before 2027 !
Is evidence that our lawmakers are legislating on minor issues rather than major issues.
Rubber-stamp NASS without a mind of its own. Now, an Executive appendage.
The old one was introduced under Obasanjo, the change was hatched byTinubu as a slight on Obasanjo Period!!
My thoughts exactly😢
Senator Umeh is right . Maybe if Buhari has been singing the old anthem he would not have committed his second genocide in Igboland or neglected the South East the way he did and even had the temerity to call South East a dot in a circle. Also, He would not have unleashed foreign Fulani elements and jihadist on Nigerians especially the middle belt and the Northern part of Igbo and Yoruba lands.
The change new one to Old one because datti Ahmed say is only LP that as national Anthem on the party
Mad people everywhere
So public debate is now few people meeting in Abuja Discuse and take decisions on behalf of the entire Nation? I thought Senator Umeh had Sense?.
Maybe bringing back the old anthem will provide jobs for the jobless and put food on the table .An act of majoring in the minor
It is only in Nigeria that the leaders expect old national anthem to build their economy
This man is incompetent. The first issue is that the "Nigeria we hail thee" anthem is an insult in the first place as it was imposed by the people who came to steal, rob, pillage and kill. Unfortunately, the people the criminals handed over to were not prepared to lead a nation like the contraption called Nigeria. The country called Nigeria today died with the death of Herbert Ogedengbe Macauley. Nigerians are to blame if the can allow drug dealers, thieves and killers to run the affairs of the nation. People in the country called Nigeria should insist on a recall process for these ignorant politicians. By the way, Nigerians should reject the "Nigeria we hail thee" anthem. Sportspersons should not stand in attention to that anthem. Mr. Umeh, please do not take Nigeria back to slavery. Mr. Umeh, people in your consistuency need to recall you now.
Talk talk president, Kpele o
Senator Umeh just Dey misyarn
I wish I can use voice note to express my anger 🤬🤬🤬
The old national anthem mr president introduced back have more emotional feeling, inspired meaning than the previous national anthem.
In what way will it help your life & that of Nigerian masses.
Mumu man
@@childrentoys4537 Does the previous national anthem help your life and the masses of Nigeria too.
@@richadnna3818No It didn't and because it didn't, common sense dictate that changing a national anthem by dropping the one composed by a Nigerian and picking the one composed by a colonialist will neither change your life nor that of the Nigerian masses.
@@childrentoys4537So some Nigerians aren't happy because the old national anthem was written by colonial masters UK, but many Nigerian still want to travel to Uk to live with same colonial masters, i can tell you Nigeria is not only country colonised by UK im living in one of country colonised by Uk and isn't everything there inherited from formal colony they throw away the ppl keep the good one,the reintroduced old national anthem for me is a good idea,"whoever you showed hatred will definitely hate you too".
LP should not burder to give tickets again to this set of senators from their party because they are going to loose, I thought this Victor umeh is going to make a deferent in the senate because before the election use to listen to him when he was a guest at one radio station in anambra, and he also promised that he will be coming back to that station after the election to brief his people what he has done for his people but the reverse is the case, uhanmadike is now vulnerable and speaking like a man without vision.
Wazobie for what? What about the other ethnic nationalities?
What if another president comes in and change the anthem again
Mr senator you're not answering the questions asked. I wander how you guys makes laws without proper hearing.
Who knows how much Umeh and co got to erase that Nigeria anthem… part of Obasanjo legacy.? Allegedly.What a place called Nigeria!😡
If you really care for Igbos, why is the federal government holding NNAMDI KANU against court orders?
People are protesting by staying in their houses for a course they believe in, whether real or not, the best the government can do,is to allow them to vent, exhale!!!
Everyone knows how sit at home came about!!!
The government has refused to do anything about Nnamdi Kanu,against court orders. If these people are having PEACEFUL PROTEST, allow them. They would come arround or obey the court orders.
Aba is a growing city. Please APC should get off that city. There is no war going on there. Remove your army from there.
BTW, RIP to dead soldiers, no one deserve to die this way.
This Victor Umeh is a serious disgrace to the Obidient group.
He was never an Obedient. He jumped into LP to ride on the back of Peter Obi's popularity.
Please his man does have a strong reason, please ask to sign it
I am really very ashamed of these Agbado Senators we have in this country. They are very shameless, whether from PDP, APC, LP AND NNPP. You can imagine what a senator representing a constituency is defending. Mr. Senator please can you tell us what development you have brought to your constituency in one year?
Since APC wants to go back to the past with electric speed according to dummy Umeh.
They should pass a bill to handover the government to Britain so they can go home as brothers and stand in brotherhood.
They have lost focus and sense of reasoning. They've lost relevance and should be relieved of their duties. They've become a choir
group.
A statement from an inaffectual mind & tendencies to be unpopular in moments of great importance.
This Umeh man is a very big bad market for LP. Very big shame to this man. He said taking it step by step why not start with insecurity and restructuring.
This guy just speaks out of ignorance.
I'm disappointed to you Victor umeh. All these hullabaloo have been going on in the senate, and my question has been where's senator Victor umeh? I don't know that you had been part of this mess. You guys go there and live in your reality. Have you asked your constituency what they think before you support it?. Now I know that you are out of touch to reality. We will meet you in 3027. Make sure you pack the money that's enough for you to rigg yourself in in 2027. Thank you.!. You ran on peter Obi's fame. Search your conscience would peter obi would have done the same thing you just did?
Not a new Anthem but a revert to the colonial route a form of Neo colonialism .This is not we want now but reduction of the hardship in the country. Heartless leadership we want decline in the cost of living. Pass bill that will better the life of the common man on the street.God help this country
Interesting !
So the Anthem that this National Assembly has changed did not allow them to think well as expected ?
So lyrics of the Anthem did not challenge them enough as a compatriots and did not enable Us to live as one country ?
I blame the people voting them over and over, Nigerians must learn to know who they vote in any capacity.
It appears no one want to speak against the wish of the president. Or they did not see the old Anthem, until this administration ?
I hope this people will start moving the bill for restructuring as well.
Please can this man tell us what was wrong with the athem that is just being repealed. Is he saying that the constitution does give adequate guidelines which NASS members flaut with impunity.
Umeh must go no 2027 for him final
This Senator is a big disgrace honestly.
