"Arise, O Compatriots" is the national anthem of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It was adopted in 1978, and replaced Nigeria We Hail Thee. The lyrics are a combination of words and phrases taken from five of the best entries in a national contest. The words were put to music by the Nigerian Police Band under the directorship of Benedict Elise Odiase.
