Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has strongly reacted after Chris Okafor, the founder of Grace Nation International Ministry, referred to her as a “Jezebel” while addressing the ongoing controversy between them.
The latest exchange marks another escalation in the public dispute between the actress and the controversial cleric, which has been unfolding for months. The tension heightened shortly after Okafor announced that he was withdrawing the apology he had previously offered to Ogala.
The pastor had earlier apologised following allegations from the actress that he abandoned her to marry another woman after what she described as a lengthy intimate relationship. However, during a recent address, Okafor clarified that his earlier gesture of kneeling was not meant for Ogala.
According to him, the act was carried out to protect senior religious figures from being dragged into the controversy. While speaking, he firmly rejected the suggestion that he was apologising to the actress.
“Let it be known, I knelt down because of those fathers of faith and the church. Not because of any Jezebel anywhere. No, God forbid,” he said.
His remark quickly triggered a sharp response from Ogala, who took to Instagram to address the statement and warn the pastor about the consequences of calling her by that name.
In a post on her page, the actress suggested that the cleric did not fully understand the meaning of the label he used against her and hinted that she was prepared to respond more forcefully.
“Na me u Call jezzibel Abi. U don’t know who jazibel be. Because I was pitying u. I will show you what jazibel Dey do,” she wrote.
Ogala did not stop there. In a follow-up video shared on the same platform, the actress intensified her criticism and questioned the sincerity of the pastor’s earlier apology.
Addressing Okafor directly in the video, she said the public apology he made in church did not meet her expectations. According to her, the pastor would have to go much further if he truly wanted to seek forgiveness.
“Chris, maybe you think this thing is a joke, do you think I care about your apology? I said you will crawl and apologize to me, you think I’m joking. That one you kneel down to do at your church is not enough. I said you will crawl, you will lay down and crawl on the floor and beg me,” she stated.
Continuing her remarks, Ogala accused the cleric of contradicting himself. She claimed that despite his current denials, he had previously acknowledged their relationship in legal documents.
“You call me Jezebel, I will teach you what Jezebel do. You earlier admitted in a court paper that we actually dated. I’m glad that God is actually exposing you. I want you guys to see the pastor who preach in the church. A pastor who came out and apologized. Pride got into him again and he came back to say he’s not sorry, he’s not apologetic,” she said.
The actress also raised concerns about how the apology video had resurfaced online. She alleged that a man identified as Kaci had earlier denied knowledge of how the clip surfaced but was now actively promoting it.
“Shebi you boy Kaci said he did not know where that video came out but yet you’re pushing it to go viral. Do you think this person cares about anything anymore? In case you guys don’t know, nothing makes sense to me anymore,” she added.
The public disagreement between the actress and the pastor continues to attract significant attention online, with many observers closely following each new development in the unfolding dispute.
