Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has expressed concern over the rise in the practice of ingratitude and stressed the need of gratitude in relationships.
Kanayo gave an example of how people frequently receive favours but forget to express gratitude, such as when they donate money and get only “seen” in return.
The actor stressed that silence about appreciation is the same as ingratitude while advising his fans to practise gratitude.
He emphasised that no one owes anyone anything and that being grateful encourages other people to carry out their good deeds.
Kanayo said, “Hello, my friends, I have one question. Why are people very ungrateful?”
“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 grateful.
“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”, he said on Instagram.
