Most of Nigerian citizens are not informed about the National Value System which is partly constructed with the use of The Pledge, the new and old Anthems. These uninformed citizens, including most leaders are the ones deforming the nation. Thus out of sheer arrogance or ignorance or negligence, they constantly break the promises they make to the nation while most political and other leaders consistently violate the oaths they take before they assume offices.
Most citizens, especially youths do not realize that their failures to fulfill The Pledge often result into breaking part of either Criminal or Civil Law. Consequently, malpractices that range from cheating during the examinations to electoral fraud seem to have grown into bacteria that kill patriotic spirit of the nation. Invariably, the same bacteria also give births to vices and crimes which are the causes of economic and political catastrophes.
This book which is designed to be studied by both youths and adults provides insights into the National Value System and interprets the meanings of the two anthems and the pledge to Nigeria. Through their interpretations, the author is able to explain that Nigerian forefathers intended to characterize citizens as patriotic, responsible and reasonable members of the society at the earliest stage of their lives.
