‘No Gree For Anybody’, Other Slangs That Will Set Tone For 2024

Over time, slangs have played significant roles in songs, movies, other works of art and daily conversations.

Defined by Cambridge Dictionary as ‘very informal language that is usually spoken rather than written, used especially by particular groups of people’, slangs are often used by people to press home their points or emphasise their arguments.

On many occasions, such slangs have also made their way to works of arts and even mainstream lingo.

With barely days into 2024, a slang— No Gree for Anybody— has already gone viral; with many saying that it is a year to stand firm by one’s convictions and not easily give in to others.

Though it is not a new slang, some people have traced its resurgence to a gospel song titled, ‘I No Go Gree’, by Sister Agatha Moses in her album entitled, ‘Thank you’.

So far, there have been several memes and posts to emphasise the slang on social media, including pictures of a tricycle dragging the right of way with a heavy-duty vehicle; and one purportedly showing a student pointing to a particular answer on the board, while the lecturer pointed at another answer.

In a testament to its popularity, the slang already has a logo, and has been inscribed on clothes and other items.

An Igbo variant of the slang, ‘Kwechiri’, has also been making waves on social media.

Other slangs that have ‘reigned’ in recent times and have been used widely on and off the Internet include ‘Dey Play’, ‘No Evidence’, ‘E don Cast’, ‘Sapa’, ‘E Choke’, and ‘Japa’.

Famous Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has opened up on why she lost interest in attending church service.

The actress who made the revelation in a Snapchat video on Sunday, stated that she stopped going to church because attention often shifted to her rather than the service.

While explaining that she’s always the one they take pictures of, the actress said she now joins church service online.

Akindele said “Anytime I go to church, I am always the one they take pictures of. So I will join online.”

Recall that in 2022, Akindele openly identified herself with the Celestial Church of Christ.

“Every time I have challenges I go to the Celestial church quietly at night for solutions. But I have to stop hiding and publicly identify with the church”, she said.

Popular Nigerian content creator, Shank has stirred reactions online after opening up about a personal clash with his mother over tattoos, while also revealing a fresh body ink linked to his “Lit Gang” identity.

The revelation surfaced in a recent viral video shared on his social platforms, where he recounted the moment he tattooed his mother’s name, “Oluremi,” on his arm.

According to him, what he expected to be an emotional moment quickly turned tense.

“The day I tattooed my mum’s name on my arm, she started crying and quoting Bible,” Shank said.

He explained that his mother strongly opposed the act, citing religious reasons and warning him against marking his body.

“She told me, ‘did I ask you to draw my name? I don’t like it. Don’t do tattoo again. God said don’t mark your body,’” he recalled.

Shank, however, said he challenged her stance by pointing out what he described as a contradiction.

“I asked her, if you say I should leave my body the way God created it, why do you shave your hair? You that shave hair and me that draw tattoo, we are committing the same sin,” he added.

The content creator used the moment to advise young people navigating similar situations with parents, stressing the importance of independence when making personal decisions.

“Just make sure you’re independent before doing what your parents are not comfortable with,” he said.

Amid the conversation, Shank also unveiled a new tattoo on his back with the inscription “Lit Gang,” a move that has further fueled reactions among fans.

While some social media users backed his arguement on personal choice and self-expression, others sided with his mother, citing cultural and religious concerns about body markings.

The development has continued to generate debate online, highlighting the growing tension between traditional beliefs and modern youth culture in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
