FECA Nigeria anthem isan anthem that has stanza one and stazna two. This athem  was composed by Dr. Ubong Jesse Daniel in the early year of FECA Nigeria.

According to the lyrics of the anthem, the youths express their appreciation to God for the love which God sheds on them daily (here and now in our time). The youth describes the love of God further by stating how God sends his son Jesus to redeem man and so enjoins everyone to stand in one accord to redeem the desolation of our land and generation, Nigeria.

The chorus of the anthem describes the youths as lights upon the hill that cannot be hid, which signifies hope. It further tells of how compassionate enough the youths are because they will lift weary hands that are down and raise feeble knees. Meanwhile all of these are geared towards fulfilling the vision of FECA Nigeria.

The Lyrics of the anthem can be found here. 

The first time that I heard young people sing the anthem, it was different from what I used to know. It was different from the National anthem of Nigeria and my School's anthem (Goverment College Umuahia). So the song was sung by FECAites in Umuahia chapter and I loved it. I wanted to know it; I wanted to learn it that same day. 

I love the anthem because it has meaning to it; meaning that has feelings and feelings that makes me want to reflect on the past. The anthem is very emotional. It mirrors the youthful life. For instance, the part of the anthem that say, "We shall lift the weary hands up that hangs down; And we shall raise the feeble knees that stoop to fall..." It tells a lot about what FECAites do, and from what have happened in my life, I was one of the feeble knees that was raised. In another post, I am going to tell about my FECA story. But for now, click here to read the complete lyrics and video of FECA Nigeria anthem.
