Nigerian-American actress and comedienne, Yvonne Orji has gifted her father a new car ahead of his 80th birthday next year.

The Hollywood actress who noted that the pandemic has taught her to live for the now, also recounted some of the challenges her father overcame to give and her siblings a good life.

According to Yvonne, her father lost his mother at the age of 12, survived the Biafra war, buried his brother and sister as a young man, started his own business and preserved Nigerian culture for all of his children.

She Wrote;

“My pops, the Chief, turns 80 next year, and if the pandemic taught me anything, it’s to live for the NOW and give folks their flowers while they can still smell them.

So to the man who lost his mother by age 12, survived the Biafra war, buried his brother and sister as a young man, started his own business and preserved Nigerian culture for all of his children, this was the least we could do to celebrate his 8 decades on Earth. Lord willing, next year, we keep the party going.
