Nollywood actress, Lizzy Gold Onuwaje has called out entitlement mentality among family members following a mild confrontation with her father.

In a video shared on Instagram, Lizzy Gold narrated how she sent a “huge” monetary gift to her father for Easter celebration but got an expected response.

The Wasted Beauty star said the experience made her feel underappreciated.

Lizzy Gold said, “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 money, 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 money 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.”

She added, “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.”

Lizzy Gold said she called her father to express her disappointment.

“‘I sent you money. This is 10 times the amount I usually sent. And all you could say is thanks. No prayers’,” she recalled telling her father.

The actress stated that her father told her, “I prayed for you in my heart” to which she replied, “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.”
