“I won’t surprise him again,” Nollywood actress calls out dad over attitude towards Easter gift

Nollywood actress, Lizzy Gold has called out his dad for failing to properly appreciate her financial gift to him during the Easter celebrations. 

In a TikTok post, the film star revealed that she enjoys surprising her father with late-night money transfers so he wakes up to the alert and prays for her.

According to Lizzy, his blessings motivate her to do more.

The actress revealed that she became disappointed after he “failed to appreciate a generous Easter gift with his usual heartfelt prayers”.

The movie star shared that her father had messaged her earlier in the day, saying, “baby, how far na? Do Easter for your papa na”.

Lizzy said though she saw the message, she pretended not to and waited until 2 a.m. to send him a “huge amount” of money, far more than her usual gifts.

She said her father responded with “just thanks” instead of the usual prayers.

“Why do some family members have an entitlement mentality? Normally, I always send money to my father,” she said.

“I love surprises, so I usually transfer the money at night. That way, he wakes up in the morning to see the alert. He’d then pray for me, and trust me, I love those prayers. They motivate me to do 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.”

She said she called her father to express her displeasure, and he claimed he had already “prayed in my heart”.

She added that his “entitlement mentality” made her decide not to surprise him anymore.

“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?’” she said.

“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.”
