Nollywood actress, Lizzy Gold, has blasted her own father for a perceived entitlement mentality.
Lizzy revealed that she recently got an underwhelming reaction from her dad after she sent him a monetary gift for the Easter celebrations.
Speaking via a now-deleted Instagram clip, the movie star broke down how she transferred a big amount of money to her father’s account in the early hours of Easter Monday, expecting a heartfelt gratitude in return as soon as he received the alert, only for him to drop a mere “Thanks” as response.
According to her, the response was very underwhelming because her dad is always quick to pray for her anytime she sends him money; therefore, not praying as usual was all the clue she needed to know that he did not appreciate the amount sent.
“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.
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,” she said.
Lizzy said that when she called her father to tell him about how unappreciative his response sounded, he immediately told her that he prayed for her in his heart.
The actress revealed that she later rang him up to break down how difficult it is for her to make the money she sends, and how his prayer is the reason she has always been inspired to send more.
“I told him ‘I sent you money. This is 10 times the amount I usually sent. And all you could say is thanks. No prayers’
My father responded, ‘I prayed for you in my heart.’
I immediately 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,” she added.
