SHAME! GRADUATE JOB SEEKERS CANNOT RECITE NATIONAL ANTHEM

IT was, indeed, a show of shame at the first conference of the Nigerian National Union of Unemployed Graduates (NNUUG), Delta State Wing as four out of selected six graduate job seekers woefully made failed attempts to recite the national anthem as an expression of hopes in the task of nation-building.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) of Delta State University, Abraka, Prof. Austine Anigala, who was a guest lecturer at the conference, had requested two male and female graduates of tertiary institutions, out of the over one thousand participants, to recite the first and second stanzas of the national anthem, promising to reward whoever did it successfully.

However, the visibly elated job seekers, who thought the challenge was not a difficult one, outnumbered the requested contestants resulting in the increase of
the contenders to three males and females respectively.

As the quest for supremacy began, two contestants on both ends were eliminated as they became confounded on why they could not go beyond the first four lines of the first stanza while the last contending male made a failed attempt to recite the second stanza after the first.

The initiator of the contest, Anigala, who appeared disturbed by the situation reasoned how the graduates could actually lead the country to greater heights when they seem not belief in the unifying factors encapsulated in the national anthem.

He stressed that “graduates need to be persuaded to pull off the garment of pessimism and be made to re-affirm their belief in the Nigerian project”, adding that
“they should be properly harnessed and coordinated unto productive ends, without which, nation-building would be a speculative mirage”.
