Nollywood actress Lizzy Gold could not hold back her tears at the burial ceremony of her beloved father, Mr. Johnson Mele Onuwaje, in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria today, It was a deeply emotional day for the Nollywood actress, who has been mourning since the heartbreaking news of his passing on Boxing Day. Today marked the final goodbye a moment filled with pain, memories, and love.
Family, friends, and colleagues gathered to honor the life of the 77-year-old patriarch, whose legacy clearly lives on through the strong woman Lizzy has become. The atmosphere was heavy with emotion as the actress struggled to stay strong, often breaking down in tears while receiving comfort from those around her.
The burial ceremony also turned into a powerful show of support from the Nollywood community. Stars such as Ekene Umenwa, Yul Edochie, Onny Michael, Uju Okoli, onyiyen okafor, Mary igwe and many others were present, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lizzy during one of the most difficult moments of her life. Their presence spoke volumes about the love and respect she has earned over the years.
And of course, her best friend Destiny Etiko showed up in a big way. The actress brought energy to the event and practically shut it down when she sprayed bundles of Naira on Lizzy gold a touching cultural gesture symbolizing love, honor, and celebration of a life well lived. Despite the sorrow, that moment reminded everyone that Lizzy was not alone.
Losing a parent is a pain words can hardly describe. A father is a protector, a guide, and often a daughter’s first hero. For Lizzy, this goodbye is not just the end of a chapter, but the beginning of a lifetime of memories she will forever hold in her heart.
As tributes continue to pour in, fans and well-wishers across the country are sending prayers for strength and healing to the grieving actress and her family.
So I want to use this moment to say May the soul of Mr. Johnson Mele Onuwaje rest in perfect peace. Guys watch
