Brilliant expose' I couldn't agree with you more. Changing the national anthem requires bravery from a determined people. We need a brace leader to drive it.

Interesting write up. Good historical account. For me nothing more than that. But point of correction; the words we sang to the National Anthem at independence was not God Bless Our Homeland Ghana. It was Lift high the flag of Ghana,
The gay star shining in the sky,
Bright with the souls of our fathers,Beneath whose shade we'll live and die!; Red for the blood of the heroes in the fight; Green for the precious farms of our birth-right; And linked with these the shining golden band, That marks the richness of our Fatherland. Thanks

Yes, that was a good one. Food for thought for those who have not thought of it.

The Twi translation always baffles those who know the Ewe original. Even though the Twi version contains some wonderful Twi words, it is too far departed from Amu's original. Unfortunately, it is the Twi one that is the most popular simply because there are more Twi speakers than speakers of other languages.

A few inaccuracies, though:

You forgot Lift high the flag of Ghana, sang at independence. God bless our homeland came much later on

Was Amu's Ewe original not first called "Amewodzife nyigba"?

A good analysis of our two national songs...

Thanks for this
