The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has cautioned that the slogan "no gree for anybody" utilized by young people has the potential to cause conflicts in the nation.
The popular saying "no gree for anybody" has gained widespread popularity on Nigerian social media platforms and in the community.
"It has also humorously been embraced by the spirit of the times as the country's slogan for 2024." The phrase can be interpreted as 'refusing to accept any kind of foolishness from anyone' or 'not allowing oneself to be intimidated by others'.
"Commercial message" Muyiwa Adejobi, who serves as the spokesperson for the force, stated during a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday that intelligence reports indicate the catchphrase has the potential to cause a significant crisis in Nigeria.
Adejobi mentioned that while the catchphrase is perceived as "ordinary conversation," members of the security community consider it to be a "risky" slogan. Adejobi stated that the 2024 slogan for the youth is "refusing to yield to anyone".
“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.”
At the briefing, the force spokesperson said three members of a syndicate have been arrested in connection with the Christmas Eve attacks on some communities in Plateau state.
The suspects are Ahmed Sulaimon, Balikisu Aliyu, and Aboki Samuel.
