The Ghana National anthem and pledge is one of the important vows any Ghanaian must know how to recite since it is always sung at any national event as a sign of freedom.
Emmanuel Pappoe-Thompson wrote the lyrics and Philip Gbeho originally wrote the music for the national song. A literary committee in Kwame Nkrumah’s office, the office of the then-head of state, altered the words, though. The lyrics currently in use, according to Michael Kwame Gbordzoe, were composed by him after President Nkrumah was overthrown. Following a competition, Kwame Gbordzoe, a student at Bishop Herman College at the time, offered the new lyrics, which were selected to replace “Lift High the Flag of Ghana,” which had been used as Ghana’s national anthem under Nkrumah’s presidency and had been formally approved after independence.
