Nigerian actress Angela Okorie has taken a hot swipe at her colleagues who hate to take responsibility, claiming they owe no one anything.
The screen beauty emphasised that while people keep thinking they "owe nobody" anything, this mindset leads to negative outcomes like irresponsibility, broken relationships, and a society that lacks care or responsibility for one another.
Angela warned her colleagues and people on the internet not to let anyone deceive them, as they owe others respect, empathy, sympathy, consideration, good character, and responsibility.

She rounded up by highlighting the importance of interdependence and mutual respect.
In her words on her Instagram story:
“I owe nobody this, I owe nobody that. That’s how we got to this level of irresponsibility, broken relationships, and a reckless society. Don’t let anybody lie to you. You owe people respect; you owe people empathy, compassion, regard, good character, and accountability”.

"Finally something we both agree on. Anyone who always says they don’t owe anyone anything is usually a person with little or no accountability. We owe ourselves, families, close friends, colleagues etc. we don’t owe everyone the same thing but we owe people something even if it’s as simple as dignity."
