Nigeria: National Anthem is Uninspiring

I don't understand what the Germans say in their national anthem, but anytime I hear the tune during a World Cup match or other sporting event, I feel like shedding tears. Maybe it is because the tune is the same as that of a church hymn I know and love (Austria). Maybe it is because the tune is soulful and yet uplifting. Whatever the reason, the tune of the German anthem feels good. I never lived in George Orwell's Animal Farm with Snowball, Napoleon and co, but any time I sing the "Beasts of England" anthem in that little but powerful book, I get close to tears. The tune and the words can make someone kill for his fatherland.
