Nollywood actress Lizzy Gold has taken to social media to call out her father over his entitlement mentality following his ingratitude after she sent him a monetary gift for Easter.
The thespian in a now-deleted Instagram video posted on Sunday, recounted the ‘huge money’ she sent her father in the early hours of Easter Monday, expecting a heartfelt appreciation in return.
However, she was disappointed by his response to her monetary gift, despite sending 10x higher of what she normally sends to him.
“Normally, I always send my father money. I have his account number. So what I do (is that) at night I send him money so that when he wakes up in the morning, he’ll see the amount I’ve sent to him,” Lizzy said.
“I love surprises. I always surprise my father and trust me, whenever he wakes up in the morning and sees whatever amount I’ve given to him, he’ll pray for me… Trust me, I enjoy the prayers, as it gingers me to want to do more.”
“On Easter day, my father sent me a message: ‘Baby how far na. Do Easter for you papa na’. He sent me the message in the morning. I pretended like I did not see it.
“At 2 am, I dropped a huge amount of money in his account. You know that kind of a feeling of giving your dad big money and you’re expecting to wake up to see some kind of prayers that will bubble you.
“After sending him the money around 2 am, I woke up only to check my phone and see ‘thanks’. No prayers. Nothing.”
“‘I sent you money. This is 10 times the amount I usually sent. And all you could say is thanks. No prayers’,” she said.
She added that her father responded, “I prayed for you in my heart.”
Unimpressed, Lizzy said she told him: “Daddy, I don’t pluck money from trees. I work tirelessly for my money. I enjoy the prayers. It gingers me to want to do more.”
