Lizzy Gold, an actress from Nollywood, has voiced her dissatisfaction regarding her father’s sense of entitlement following a monetary present she gave him.
According to Naija News, the actress stated in a social media post that she enjoys surprising her dad with late-night money transfers, as he wakes up to the notification and prays for her, encouraging her to continue this practice.
Lizzy said her father had messaged her earlier in the day, saying, “baby, how far na? Do Easter for your papa na”, but she pretended not to respond and waited until 2 a.m. to send him a “huge amount” of money, far more than her usual gifts.
The thespian said her father responded with just “thanks” instead of the usual prayers, and she was displeased with the action.
Lizzy stated that due to his father’s entitlement mentality, she made the decision not to surprise him any longer.
She asked, “What makes some family members feel entitled?” Usually, I send money to my dad.
„Über Überraschungen freue ich mich, weshalb ich das Geld meist nachts überweise. That way, he wakes up in the morning to see the alert. Then he would pray for me, and believe me, I cherish those prayers. They inspire me to accomplish more.
So, on Easter day, he sent me a message in the morning saying, ‘Baby how far na? Do Easter for your papa na’.
“I saw the message but pretended not to. At 2 am, I sent him a huge amount of money.
“You know that feeling when you give your dad something big and you’re looking forward to waking up to prayers?
“When I woke up and saw his message saying “Thanks”—no prayer, just thanks prayer, nothing else.
“I called him and told him I wasn’t happy. I said, ‘This money is ten times more than what I usually send, and all I got was just thanks?
He replied that he had already prayed for me in his heart. But I told him, ‘I don’t pluck money from trees. I work really hard for it. And those prayers? They encourage me to do more.’
“But in his mind, I guess he feels, ‘After all, she’s my daughter. She’s supposed to give me money.’ So there’s no need to pray and I said I won’t surprise him again.”
