Reacting to the trending slogan on Monday in a post shared on his Instagram page, Ekubo warned against its usage.
According to the thespian, the slang could breed violence and foster revenge culture in Nigeria, adding that everyone is fighting a battle.
Alexx Ekubo said: “I took time out to introspect. As I crawl out of my solemn place, I can see the same negativity and gbas gbos that have stunted our progress.
“Please what is ‘No gree for anybody’ that I’m seeing everywhere? It is breeding violence and fostering revenge culture.
“Can we instead be more tolerable and considerate towards others? Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. We are raised under different circumstances, with different degrees of luck.”
‘No gree for anybody’ slogan became viral in Nigeria’s online space at the beginning of 2024.
Many people and institutions in the country have adopted its usage, however, it has remained a controversial slogan.
