Slogans have long been used as powerful tools to convey messages and rally support for various causes. In Nigeria, the slogan “We No Go Gree for Anybody” has recently gained popularity among Nigerian youths. While the Nigeria Police condemned it, claiming that it might have originated from revolutionary groups, the Nigerian Army embraced it as part of their 2024 slogan. As a father and supporter of the positive energies of the progressive youths of Nigeria, I wish to align myself, with this very apt slogan and the Nigerian Army’s endorsement of the slogan, which also aligns with the position of the Arise TV quartet of Ojy Okpe, Reuben Abati, Rufai Oseni and Ayo Mario-Ese, on the What’s Trending program.
The slogan “We No Go Gree for Anybody” should be seen as a positive rallying cry for Nigerian youths, expressing their dissatisfaction with the status quo and their determination to effect positive change, for a better Nigeria in line with the current administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Despite the Nigeria Police’s reservations, the Nigerian Army’s support for the slogan signifies a recognition of the legitimate expression of patriotism of the Nigerian youths. It is important that at this stage of our country, that we listen and appreciate the involvement of the youths in the economic and social development of the country.
