National Anthem it is actually a prayer for a nation. All countries have got a national anthem yet the significant of the national anthem is not known to most of us. As it is called national anthem because is a prayer for a nation. In the near future i will write and explain what a nation is? It is very important for a nation to have their    spirituality. National Anthems were songs that were derived from the nation’s spirituality .The purpose of the anthem were to invoke the Gods of that nation including the ancestors. For a nation to have the Anthem they need to have their own spirituality It cannot be based on foreign gods or religion. National Anthem needs to be always in the language of that nation because every nation connect to their spirituality with their own language, you cannot connect to your spirituality with other people’s language unless if you are invoking foreign gods or a lost nation. A national Anthem that is not in your language is not for you and you are not suppose to respect that anthem unless if you are worshiping foreign gods. Most of African anthem are not based on  African spirituality but based on Christianity  that’s why they have no spiritual significant to us .The African Union anthem  is in English yet this is not England that’s why even if we sing it ,it won’t invoke the Gods of Africa but the Gods of England. Such anthems like the one for the African Union are not for us Africans but for the Europeans we need to disrespect them. We find countries that were colonized by France having an anthem in French  and some having anthem in Portuguese even in English  such anthems are not for the people of that country but for the French, English and Portuguese .As I have mentioned  that  national anthems were connected to the spirituality of that nation that’s why they used to be inspired by spiritual events that has happened to that nation  and people spirits used to be revived and reconnected to their gods when singing. High priest and prophets of that nation were the pioneers of the national anthems as they were spiritual leaders. Anthems were important songs one or more and they were sung as prayer during special occasions and the high priest leading the proceeding. Every family used to have their own anthem that was connecting them to their spirituality and ancestors. They used to sing the anthem in special occasions and ceremonies like funerals and weddings the family leader leading the proceeding. The challenge that we are facing now is that our kings are no longer connected to African  spirituality  most of them are now Christians connected to European spirituality  and this results in having  foreign anthem with no meaning to us Africans. Anthems are prayer for a nation to connect with the Gods that is why we sing them with respect. But I cannot respect an anthem that has no connection to my African spirituality and is not in my mother language. An African anthem must be based on African spirituality and be in an African language otherwise it is not for us but for the people of that language and their spirituality. A nation without their own spirituality or with a king that has adopted foreign religions is not a nation but a civil society. If it is in any European language it’s not for an African.
