‘No Gree for Anybody’ Slogan Can Trigger Crisis in Nigeria, Police Cautions Youths
The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, has warned Nigerian youths that the trending ‘no gree for anybody’ slogan of the New Year 2024 coined by the youth could trigger a crisis in the country.
Since the beginning of the New Year, the slogan has taken over the social media space, majorly being used by youths.
The Police believe the catchphrase, which has been jocularly adopted as the nationwide motto for 2024, could breach security.
Many believe the slang is about staying true to one’s beliefs and not easily succumbing to the influence of others.
However, the police, through its spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, warned that it could clamp down on people using the slang.
The catchphrase loosely means ‘do not tolerate any form of nonsense from anybody’ or ‘do not allow yourself to be bullied by anyone’.

During a press briefing on Tuesday in Abuja, Muyiwa Adejobi, the Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, said intelligence reports show that the catchphrase is capable of plunging the country into a crisis of monumental proportions.
Adejobi said although the catchphrase is being seen as normal talk, those in the security community view it as a dangerous slogan.
The new slogan for 2024 for young people is no dey gree for anybody, Adejobi said.
We have been informed by our intelligence that this is coming from the retribution sector which 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.
