Biafra
"Land of the Rising Sun"

Words by: Nnamdi Aakiwe
Music by: Jean Sibelius
In use: 1967-1970

Biafra is a region in Nigeria that mounted a secessionist campaign in the 1960s. As such it adopted a flag and anthem. The anthem uses the familiar "Finlandia" tune by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.

Special thanks to: Ben Cahoon for informing me about this anthem.
