Culture of Entitlement: There are too many ungrateful family relatives in African extended family settings – Be guided how you do good – DJ KA
DJ KA has reiterated that there are too many ungrateful family relatives in African extended family settings, thus people have to be guided on how to do good.
In many African societies, family is not limited to the nuclear unit of parents and children. The extended family, encompassing uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and even distant relations, plays a critical role in the cultural and social structure.
This interconnected network often shares resources, responsibilities, and burdens. It’s not uncommon for one successful family member to become a financial pillar, supporting multiple households.
However, this traditional support system can sometimes be a double-edged sword.
DJ KA said the growing frustration is shared by many who feel overwhelmed and unappreciated by the very people they try to help.
“Some people in your extended family will only remember you when they need help. When things go well for them, you won’t hear from them. But if you ever say ‘no’ once, suddenly you’re wicked or proud.” He said, Krenkren to Krankran.
In some cases, certain family members develop a sense of entitlement, assuming that the more successful relative is obligated to constantly give, regardless of their own needs or struggles. This dynamic can lead to emotional burnout, financial instability, and resentment.
DJ KA emphasized the importance of gratitude and mutual respect. It’s not about refusing to help, but rather about setting healthy boundaries and recognizing when generosity is being taken for granted. True support, he argued, should be a two-way street, grounded in love, not obligation.
