Nollywood star Lizzy Gold has taken to social media to express disappointment with her father’s reaction to what she described as a “huge” Easter gift, accusing him of displaying an entitlement mentality that left her feeling unappreciated. The actress recounted the episode in a now-deleted video that quickly made rounds online before being taken down.
According to Lizzy, she had sent her father an unusually large sum—ten times more than her usual transfers—as an Easter surprise. Hoping to be met with heartfelt prayers and gratitude, she said she woke up to a cold, one-word reply: “Thanks.” The lack of appreciation, she admitted, broke her emotionally.
“For someone like me who works tirelessly for every naira I earn, I don’t think it’s too much to expect some prayers when I give out money to family, especially to my father,” she said in the video. “Those prayers push me. They make me want to do more. But this time, I got nothing.”
The actress narrated that after confronting her father over the disappointing response, he simply replied, “I prayed for you in my heart.” The vague answer, according to Lizzy, was not only unexpected but also emotionally unsatisfying. “Daddy, I don’t pluck money from trees,” she reportedly replied. “Those words of blessing mean everything to me.”
Her emotional outburst resonated with many online users, sparking conversations around parental entitlement and the often-unspoken pressures celebrities face in supporting extended families. Several fans flooded her comment section (before the post was taken down), sharing similar stories and urging her to prioritize her emotional health.
This isn’t the first time Lizzy Gold has used her platform to speak candidly about family dynamics and boundaries. The actress, known for her straightforward personality and raw social media presence, has continued to advocate for emotional reciprocity in relationships—whether romantic, platonic, or familial.
As her post continues to trend with screenshots and quotes going viral, conversations about entitlement, gratitude, and generational expectations are gaining traction. For Lizzy, this Easter wasn’t just about giving—it became a mirror reflecting the silent burdens many givers carry.
