the things would quickly escalate just because there is that slogan no grief for anybody and they might just feel are you trying to trample on my right or are you trying to make me feel small so they quickly get like no no no I need to put you on your toes or I need to shut you down so that's where the trigger might come from but for me I mean when I saw it I said to myself okay you know what no grief for even yourself at your own like this year there will be no excuses excuses more like I'm just going to stay sharp I'm going to not procrastinate I'm just going to give myself that opportunity to just be the best version just keep pushing that's what I said to myself but again that's me that's a different angle to it I never thought of it from the angle of Sandra no grief for yourself the same way you would do a clap back at another person or something that someone told you on social media the same way you should tell yourself when you are being lazy when you are not meeting up to standard you should say the question whether it is a trigger for violence or crisis so I've seen skit makers try to create something in tune with the theme the theme for the social theme for the year 2024 and I must say that most of the skits they have created has violence incinuated in it like I'll tell you one there is this short clip I saw about a white lady I think she lives in Abuja so she was walking down the road and there was the first person who passed by her and that person is tagged 2022 so he hits her not just her like oh no don't hit me she has that expression on her face and she keeps walking and the second person walks past tagged 2023 and hits her like this and she just has that look why are you hitting me what did I do and so the next person which is 2024 comes and she was like I am not having it again I was like no grief for anybody and it was so I could feel the guys I am like you could tell she is not here to joke so yes it could also mean beyond beyond being a trigger it could also mean that okay this year is no grief for anybody as pertaining no grief for people who are standing on your right so there about I think it's just an encouragement fight harder fight the harrowing experiences people are going in their day to day lives the dwindling economy the I don't know things are happening in society that we are not all having about absolutely I agree considering the 2023 most of us are 2023 was for most people someone said it's about survival 2023 very few people can actually come out to say you know what I tried in 2023 for most of us we were barely surviving we just you know what I just need to get to December I just need to survive month in month out and you see that does a number on your mental health your emotional health as well so for 2024 again I mean considering what you just said it may be very good in the sense that you know what let's just rise above these issues we know there are issues politically and we know I mean dollar went crazy how? 2023 right now we know these issues but this year we are going to rise above these issues we are going to focus on the big picture we are going to go harder we are going to be happier we are going to take care of ourselves more we are going to you understand so I feel like again it could be a charge like a national mantra to say okay you know what guys let's go again it's 2024 but this year we are doing it differently and you know what I like that perspective of it because earlier the military remember you started out this year from the last week of 2023 to 2024 there were several bandit attacks and a lot of things happened in Jaws in certain parts of the federal capital territory in Nassarwa state and Niger state within the axis and it wasn't all looking good so obviously the military have kicked in trying to do as much as possible to protect life so earlier today we are addressing the public and guess what they also said this year 2024 no group or bandit no group or terrorist so it's such a big slogan that you could choose to interpret it in whichever way that you want to be violent the security I mean the armed forces that are waiting for you they are waiting for you or you can just make it about building your life, building your career rising above the limitations and struggles in the society or you could also choose to say you know what I am not going to let banditry win, I am not going to be allow myself to be brainwashed into joining terrorists and attacking fellow humans or my community yep we will be having more discussion on this land, not before anybody we will take a short break, see you shortly alright if you just joined us it is our lady's night and Yola and I we are discussing the topic no grief for anybody a trigger word please let us hear what you have to say remember you can join the conversation by sending us an SMS or sending us a message on WhatsApp to the number 081803 84663 again that is 081838 4663 our phone line is open right now or you can call us on 0702 5007749 again 0702 5007749 so no grief for anybody what is that one thing Yola that you would say this is what I am not agreeing for this year that is a hard one isn't it and that is very because I am going to ask in what context is that for so I have mine and then I have the one for my expectations about life but I would say that for me this year it will be no grief for you know your mental health to suffer so I just said to myself nothing is just going to hold me down this year I am just going to in always possible find a way to surround myself with good things happy thoughts support system to people as well and really because I feel like if I can take care of my mental health like if I can be in that zone of positivity it keeps you sane it keeps me sane and I can rise the next day and go at it again but the minute I lose that mental health battle you just spiral down and then you don't even know where that's going to lead so yeah that's my take for my no grief this year you know so while you were talking earlier there's something I that came to mind and it would be that just like we mentioned earlier about knowing how it started you know the context for which it started and all that just like the council culture you know that's how it just came and then it became a thing so I would also say that it now falls on us you know to be responsible to say that to educate people as many people as we can that this no grief for anybody you know we shouldn't let it you know flip or to being a violent word or to being a violent phrase we should always at every point in time preach peace and we should always let people see the other side of it especially for people who don't even know otherwise you know so I would say that media skit makers anyone with a platform you know that reaches out to people has the capacity to influence people even in our own little space friends, families and all that we should always advocate the positive side of no grief for anybody but let's look at the more serious angle to this and I think a lot of while we can make fun of the police and you know say like what's the big deal about this you're just catching on to social trend there are others who are of the thought that perhaps the police is losing focus like this are educating us about the trend and how we should use it should not be your primary focus your focus right now should be about working on the security challenges we have in the country right now Kaduna I express way where a lot of people were kidnapped the news had it about 30 people were kidnapped there was the recent killings in platu state it's just a lot that is going on so people are saying you're threading on the soft part go and do the actual thing that you enrolled into office and it kind of does make a little sense to me because I mean I understand the need for speech and the need to put out warning but yes that's really not the focus right now we would want you to address us tell us what are you doing about the security I mean your arm is the executive arm you're all about security right so tell us what are you doing to make security better because 3024 we said we don't agree for you to you know the Nigerian military we're grateful for the work you're doing we're grateful for you but we as the citizens we don't agree for you your job is to protect our residents to protect our roads to protect our families to just protect the country called Nigeria so what exactly are you doing to make that happen I mean I think that's a reasonable question that we should be putting out there to them absolutely but again I mean that's a very multi huge and I think it's so much bigger than you know than the literal interpretation we may want to give it yes security is the responsibility of the police but again I mean are they doing enough maybe maybe not we all know that there are challenges I mean in terms of population to the number of actual police active police people and the numbers don't it doesn't and statistics actually gives it that the current police the number of police and forces that we have right now is about 400,000 and Nigeria is a country we're actually a little above I don't know the last time and I think we should have a census pretty soon presentable it would be a good thing to have a census because I don't remember the last time Nigeria had a population count or so so we'll stop estimating is it 150 200 so we'll have a close figure but yeah we all know that Nigeria is a bit above 180 million people so 400 men in and for it's it's it just doesn't make so there is what I'm not holding brave for them but I mean what impact a really in the real sense of it and then we want to talk about the kind of infrastructure they have what kind of incentives as well in place in terms of you know okay exactly if this happens to you if you die in the course of duty what happens to your family what if you know there is a whole lot so it's a lot of parts so when we come to the table and talk about you know at the police are they losing focus I mean the police Nigerian police force has always been Nigerian police force a lot of us would that oh we don't even see the impact but I would I can also honestly tell you that in some places people actually would tell you that the police is working you know I mean it's all the fact that we have an experienced first time what they do may not necessarily mean that they are absolutely not doing anything that is true some neighborhoods I have lived in neighborhoods where the police is super efficient but we're just saying that it's they might not be as efficient in rural areas and we get we understand the fact that they are limited and they may not have the exact facilities it takes to like maybe security cameras for easy monitoring like lights on the streets that makes it easy for people to spot what is going on from afar instead of getting close to take a video and send their calling for help you know so yes there are those there are those factors and then you know of course you also know that the police is community based you know so I mean yes them losing focus by wading in on conversations like this is also being proactive because again you know they have access to intelligence that we don't have and they may also have had experience with this kind of thing before to say that okay before this thing quickly gets out of control let's quickly nip it in the board let's quickly let people understand that I mean the fact that you guys are saying these things does not mean there could be side effects to it well looking at it from that perspective I think it's kind of applaudable the fact that they are trying to be a little proactive because the truth is if you actually think of that word it really we're going to be sincerely honest it really could trigger violence the sound of the word in itself no grief for anyone but then you made a very value point about the reward system and the challenges that the armed forces are going through yes we might want to say you're not focused on all that but if we're going to be real just like we talked about the fact that people could be going through certain things and we're not exactly sure because they're not voicing it out they could be going through a lot I remember I think it was in the news earlier today that in all your pen tioners are crying out and these are people who had served in the forces a couple years ago they are crying out that listen we don't have our money where some of them lost their arm lost their legs some of them are blind and they are not able to they are not feeding and the government has been owing them for 44 years sorry is it that they put in 44 years of service and the government has still not given them their pensions and these are people in the forces so while it looks as though we kind of look at the police yes we do expect more I'm not going to lie absolutely I mean it's a right but as a Nigerian citizen it's their work it's what they are expected to do but again I mean we all live in the country we all know these things it would be I think it would just be somewhat inconsiderate to just try to overlook and act like okay you know these issues are not there the issues are there they are real issues I mean so they live amongst us we don't like what they do no doubt right but again their reality is their reality can it be better yes maybe if more and more people begin to understand that side of their issues and begin to speak about it then maybe it would force a change and then we can all see the change we want until then honestly I don't know so let's look at because there are so many angles to this phrase and let's remember that there is also this conversation about gun violence that has already started not gun violence access to guns given the average Nigerian a license to carry gun so some people in the northern part have also started this use this slogan to say this year we don't agree so they are fighting and piloting the movement that Nigerians especially the ones in difficult areas that are experiencing security threats yes that they should be allowed to at least have access to guns so then they don't agree for anybody that's chaos on a level that we may not even be able to handle because it means that you handle justice whichever way you want to you dispense justice and I'm not even sure that the Nigerian society is ready for that that's quickly going to escalate into something much more because how do you measure who actually do that in defense of themselves well there is a way around it actually I remember I got into this conversation with someone I was saying so how about you bring people within a territory there are people those people who have say we want access to guns so you give them access to those guns however here is the condition there has to be an official member of the military or police who is certified and acknowledged by the country to be an official member of the police force or the military he is there he studies maybe 5 or 6 of them or depending on the number they train you you are accountable to them so it's like a mini military school you are accountable to them so when there is a need to go on the mission they give you the guns when you go on the mission you come back you hand over the guns I just know that I think in 2024 we should be looking at providing solutions to certain challenges it does make sense but we live in a country that documentation is not our forte even in America where everything is documented they still have issues with gun control gun control is something that can move from 0 to 100 quickly I mean I don't with the kind of temperaments Nigerians have you want someone in traffic to just bring out a gun and say you know what I'm going to shoot you babe trust me we don't even want that kind of thing in Nigeria because we are a people that we have no chill in Nigeria we have no chill alright but let's take a call hello hello evening welcome to ways hello can you hear us so if you'd like to be a part of the conversation please call our studio line 0702-500-7749 or send us a message on whatsapp at 081-8038-4663 I'll take the number again for phone calls call us on 081-8038-4663 and for whatsapp leave us a message on 081-8038-4663 if you try to reach out to gun and take it please call back so yes we are going back to solutions in Nigeria and if forming a community of people that will be trained by the police to avoid hello hello good evening what's your name happy new year happy new year happy new year to you all beautiful face to me thank you let me tell us I break in Nigeria I don't know where they manufacture all these words these words you see no grief or no war that was always bigger some things even in this our side in this of your face before you know it killing has started before you know it maybe somebody has started I don't know where they manufacture these words I don't know if it's been manufactured in the higher institutions I don't know if maybe they remember or maybe because of cold season cold heat but I want to tell us please let me be very careful because all these things before you know it nobody in your house will now decide to sell it no grief or no war hospital are setting injury are setting I don't want this in this year 2024 it's a year of good news so we don't need those words that will trigger this unity this harmony thank you very much thank you very much for your contribution speaking he makes a very valid point and yes we're going to be sincere with ourselves there's just something violent that thing triggers it's like I don't grieve for you it's like when you say just imagine say no grieve for anybody I'm like no grieve for anybody but you it doesn't but when you say no grieve for anybody but you it brings out something inside of you and while mama was talking about the kick and driver who was stuck in between to very heavy vehicles obviously way bigger than 8 in size like double the size or triple the size trying not to grieve for anybody so that is literally I'm sorry it is so funny that is literally an accident in the making absolutely and you wake up and say that was the devil and even though no one about the barrel barrel pushes at logger hands so it's like no grieve for anybody so yes we do still want to maybe take your calls a call or two before we wrap up and hear what is your view on the slogan for 2024 no grieve for anybody do you believe that it is a trigger word for violence or crisis like the police has warned us and also what does it mean to you as an individual how do you interpret it so I have a comment from someone he says good evening my dear beautiful sisters of what are you saying no grieve for anybody a trigger word this word generally may attract violence and anger but it can be easily misunderstood if you say you know go grieve then will the policeman on the street really understand what you are saying if you say you know go grieve what are you not grieve for an average Nigerian is not even ready for such statements happy new year to you my dear beautiful sister Sandra it's so nice to see you again and anchoring the show nice job and must confess my name is Daniel Ilo thank you so much Daniel Ilo and happy new year this is my first time hearing from you for the year right so with that I think it's on that beautiful note that we are going to wrap up for on the show today but I'd like to get your final take on no grieve anybody please grieve but no grieve for yourself no grieve for yourself in the sense that don't give room for negativity for despair, for frustration for anger just focus on the positives thrive, thrive people I can't say it enough thrive this year please we are going to say no grieve find a word that works for you and fix it there so no grieve for laziness no grieve for bullying no grieve for procrastination find a positive thing that you want to change in your life and fix it there and no grieve for violence we say no to violence and all sorts of misdemeanor so before we go do and show that you follow us on instagram at waysshowafrica where you can interact with us drop a comment and most importantly follow all
