Nigerian Police Force Issues Warning Over ‘No Gree For Anybody’ Slang
The Nigerian Police Force has expressed its disapproval of the widespread slang, ‘no go gree for anybody’, adopted by youths and citizens across the country.
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.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, Adejobi disclosed that the police had received intelligence suggesting that the slogan had the potential to incite a revolution within the country.
He said, “Let me say that the new slogan for 2023, 2024 for our young ones is ‘no go gree for anybody.’
“We have been informed from our intelligence that this slogan is coming from a revolutionary sector that may likely cause problems across the country.
“‘No go gree for anybody’ is being seen as just a normal talk, but in the security business, in the security community, we have seen it as a very dangerous slogan that can trigger a crisis.”
One meme features a tricycle being overtaken by a large vehicle, symbolizing disregard for the right of way.
The slang already has a logo and has been inscribed on clothes and other items.
