Veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared an important message with Nigerians, stressing the importance of showing gratitude.
Kanayo criticized the lack of appreciation some people show when they receive help or favours.
He specifically mentioned situations where individuals receive money but only respond with a brief “seen” message.
Kanayo urged his followers to develop a habit of expressing gratitude, pointing out that failing to do so is essentially ingratitude.
He wrote on Instagram: “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 ungrateful.
“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.”
