The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has issued a warning, expressing concerns that the ‘no gree for anybody’ slogan has the potential to incite crises in the country.
Muyiwa Adejobi, the force spokesperson, disclosed this message during a press briefing in Abuja.
He said the phrase, meaning ‘do not tolerate any form of nonsense from anybody’ or ‘do not allow yourself to be bullied by anyone,’ is considered by the security community as a risky catchphrase.
Adejobi emphasized that, despite being perceived as “normal talk,” the slogan is viewed as perilous within the security circles.
“The new slogan for 2024 for young people is ‘no dey gree for anybody.’
“We have been informed from our intelligence that this is coming from the retributionary sector that might likely cause problems across the country.
“No dey gree for anybody is being seen as just normal talk. In the security community, we have seen it as a very dangerous slogan that can trigger crises,” he said.
