A trending conversation has taken over Nigerian social media platforms, as the phrase “T for Thanks” sparks lively debates about how people choose to express gratitude.
The trend began when a Twitter user shared her personal experience about helping someone, only to receive a simple letter “T” in response as a sign of thanks.
The post quickly gained traction, with thousands of Nigerians reacting and sharing their opinions on the matter.
Many found the act disrespectful and dismissive, arguing that it reflects a growing culture of ingratitude and poor manners in digital communication.
For some, typing just “T” after someone goes out of their way to help is considered lazy, careless, and even offensive.
As the discussion spread, netizens humorously revealed how they would handle such situations if it ever happened to them. Some joked about cutting ties immediately, while others shared that they would make a mental note never to assist that person again.
The conversation turned from humor to a broader reflection on how expressions of gratitude — whether in person or online — still hold value and meaning.
However, a few social media users defended the shorthand response, saying that people should sometimes consider context, digital habits, and the informal nature of social media conversations before taking offense.
They argued that while “T” might seem insufficient, it could still be a casual, harmless way of acknowledging a good deed.

Despite the mixed opinions, the trend has shone a spotlight on etiquette in the digital age, raising important questions about how much effort people should put into saying “thank you” and whether modern communication is making people less appreciative.
The phrase “T for Thanks” continues to trend as Nigerians reflect on their personal encounters with gratitude — or the lack of it — in friendships, family, workplaces, and daily life.
