Veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo discussed the need of gratitude in interpersonal relationships.
On July 8, 2024, he wrote on Instagram that people not being appreciative enough.
He asked, “Hello, my friends, I have one question. Why are people very ungrateful?”
He explained, “You do somebody a favour by sending him or her money and the person receives it and sends you a text saying ‘seen.’ seen? Come on! Do you think it’s your right? That’s an inheritance mentality; people are like this and it doesn’t show that you are ungrateful.”
Kanayo also said people shouldn’t be selfish. He added, “Look, gratitude unspoken is ingratitude spoken. It’s not your right so learn to be grateful for whatever someone does for you. That way, the person will be encouraged to do more. Stop being selfish; be grateful because nobody owes you anything. Have a beautiful week ahead.”
Many fans agreed with Kanayo in the comments.
One person wrote, “That ‘Seen’ na when the money no reach wetin you dey expect. Some people no sabi pretend. Me, I will tell you thank you but e no from my heart. ‘Entitlement mentality, maybe. But some people can’t pretend; they will just type the ‘seen’ squeeze face dey complain. Still ‘entitlement mentality.’”
Another said, “Seen. That’s the last time I will ever send them anything.”
Someone else agreed, saying, “I am telling you! They are many on that table! I don’t even understand how we got here!”
