Nigerians started the New Year with new resolutions, one of them, ‘No Gree For Anybody’. It is a term that was christened to put every Nigerian in the right spirit, as they prepare for the unknown.
The previous year (2023) had shown many Nigerians ‘Shege’, a term they coined to describe the level of hardship rocking the nation.
Unfortunately, many Nigerians are in the habit of abusing things. In no time, the slang sparked huge competition among Nigerians.
Even Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo noticed it.
The actor has frowned at the viral slang.
The term also means that someone will stand firm by his or her convictions and not easily give in to others.
Revenge Culture
Alex, in a post via his Instagram page on Monday, asserted that the viral 2024 slogan was breeding violence and fostering revenge culture.
He advised Nigerians to shun the slogan and be more tolerant, kind and considerate towards each other.
He also urged Nigerians to be intentional about their health and wealth.
In his words: “I took time out to introspect, meditate & self-care. As I crawl out of my solemn place, I can see the same negativity, & “gbas gbos” that has stunted our progress.
“As you may or may not have noticed, the only description of me on my socials is Human Being.
“In a world where everyone is obsessed with titles (nothing wrong with that btw, we are losing our humanity.
I now identify as Human Being. Feel free to call me that whenever. The world needs more humanity.
No Gree For Anybody
“Pls what’s “no gree for anybody” I’m seeing everywhere, it’s breeding violence & fostering revenge culture.
“Instead, can we be more tolerable & considerate towards each other. Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
“Be intentional about 2 things, because they affect you whether you like it or not, Health & Wealth.
“When you start taking care of yourself, you start feeling better, looking better, & you start to attract better.
“It starts with you. Focus on your Focus. You can do it. Determination is stronger than witchcraft.
“Life is not fair. Expecting life to be fair to you, because you are fair is like expecting a lion not to eat you, because you don’t eat Lion.
“We are different people, raised under different circumstances, with different degrees of luck.
