Nollywood veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has emphasised the importance of thankfulness in relationships, expressing alarm over the rise of ingratitude.
Kanayo emphasised how people frequently receive favours but fail to express gratitude, such as when someone provides money and merely gets “seen” in return.

The actor advised his fans to nurture thankfulness, underlining that unsaid admiration is the same as ingratitude. He emphasised that no one owes anyone anything, and that expressing thanks allows people to continue their acts of kindness.
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
