Angela Okorie Criticizes ‘I Owe Nobody Anything’ Mentality, Calls for Responsibility

Nigerian actress Angela Okorie has spoken out against the widespread “I owe nobody anything” mentality, emphasizing that people do, in fact, have obligations to others.

Taking to Instagram on March 2, 2025, the Nollywood star addressed the issue, highlighting how this mindset has contributed to societal decline.

“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, REGARDS, GOOD CHARACTER, and ACCOUNTABILITY!!” Okorie wrote.

Her statement quickly gained traction online, sparking a debate among social media users. While many agreed with her perspective, others defended the belief that individuals should not be burdened by societal expectations.

The conversation around personal responsibility and social accountability remains a hot topic, with Okorie’s comments reigniting discussions on the balance between self-reliance and communal obligations.
