Veteran Nollywood performer Kanayo O. Kanayo has expressed his displeasure on social media about what he sees as an increasing tendency of ingratitude among those who accept financial aid.
Celebrated for his classic parts in films, such as the one as a serial ritualist, the veteran bemoaned the fact that some receivers of financial aid would send a curt “seen” as acknowledgement.
In addition to being disrespectful, he said that this behavior was indicative of an entitled mentality that undercuts social norms.
He wrote: “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.

The actor urged people to adopt a respectful and appreciative attitude, arguing that not expressing gratitude runs the risk of undermining the spirit of community living.
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.
