There is a lot of conversation among the public regarding the national anthem. There is no official word yet from the government on what the national anthem should be. 

Fale Logo said in his opinion, the version with the line and the image of Jesus should be utilised. 

"Samoa is God's nation, and we are God's people. Therefore, I suggest that it's time for people to know how to sing and be certain that they are God's people and that He will always be with them," he said. 

"I adore both renditions, but the government ought to supply the most suitable and authentic rendition to sing so that individuals won't ever have to inquire about the lyrics again. As I watched Tanuvasa's video, I was pleased that Malua and Piula both chose to sing the anthem that let the people talk, which is the authentic version.

Saluafata Amosa Va'a claimed that when some of the most significant words were removed from the original version of the national anthem, it sounded meaningless and hollow. 

"Since Jesus was the one who died to atone for our sins, I believe that the original version is the finest since every time we sang, I could sense his presence in my heart. As far as I'm aware, the government owns the National Anthem, but why can't they share the real version and the words so that people can sing it?" she said.

"Perhaps this will bring about peace in the nation. The national anthem is not a means of demonstrating one's belief in Jesus. We all believe in Jesus, and it's your pure heart that separates you from him. Despite this, as a nation, we should stick together and refrain from passing judgment because, even though people may alter the facts and the lyrics, the nation will not change as a result."

 Tilieni Samuelu, 32, of Gagaifo Lefaga said "Agiagia lau fu'a" makes sense because the flag has been flying for more than 60.

"To allow the globe to come together, we might make reforms. "faailoga lea o Samoa ua mafai ona tautai" has no bearing on the fact that Samoa was established by God. One of the main things that now crosses everyone's mind is why everyone is questioning the anthem now, rather than in previous years," he said.

"People probably waited for the CHOGM to take place here to learn that the Anthem had been altered and were unsure of the appropriate lyrics or rendition to sing."

Lolopo Vaela'a said the phrase "Fa'ailoga lea o Iesu na maliu mo Samoa" seemed incorrect to him.

"Perhaps this is why the anthem's creator amended them, realising that Jesus died not just for Samoa but for the entire world. I think he modified it to "Fa'ailoga lea o Samoa ua mafai ona tautai" to convey to the populace that Samoa is now independent and capable of supporting itself," he said. 

"I therefore always sing the anthem with pride, regardless of the lyrics. Kuresa gave the anthem that was left for Samoa, and I appreciate it. Whatever version we sing, it is the one because it is still for Samoa and not for any other country. I don't know why, but it seems like our nation and its citizens are full of complaints."

Eddie Leitupo, 24, of Falelauniu was critical of the songwriters' selection of the anthem.

"It is crucial that our people understand which rendition to sing each time the flag is raised. Furthermore, it is improbable that the government is genuinely unaware of the correct version to sing or where to locate the precise lyrics to prevent the nation from ranting on social media without doing any investigation or knowing the facts," he said. 

"Therefore, in my opinion, any rendition we sing is appropriate as long as it has a stanza that mentions Jesus."

"I firmly believe that if we band together and discover the true lyrics for the Anthem, then we should have the actual one," stated Sauaso Ta,ileuo Tupuola Logo Hunt, 66 from Sa'aga Siumu. 

"However, because everyone is unsure of the lyrics, they judge and say things that could hurt other people because they don't know which the correct version is. As a Christian, I wholeheartedly concur with the lyrics sung by both colleges at the CHOGM opening, and I must admit that I was astounded by how exquisitely they sang the anthem. And a big thanks to everyone in the nation who has worked so hard to make the conference possible."
