Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has once again captured national attention with an emotional Instagram post in which she publicly named four pastors, accusing them of failing her in her most vulnerable moments. The post, shared on February 11, 2026, came against the backdrop of a long‑running and highly publicised conflict between Ogala and one of Nigeria’s most prominent clerics, Pastor Chris Okafor, but extended beyond him to include three other religious figures.

A Grief‑Stricken Post Goes Viral

In the Instagram caption that triggered widespread conversation online, Ogala wrote that she would “tell you the pastors I’ve encountered” and “their roles in my life.” She listed four, namely Suleman, Chris, Jeremiah, and Jerry, saying all had given her money “one way or other,” but insisted there was more to the story.

“All of them have given me money… But what was the reason for the money. Most times the money comes with a lot of plea and insults,” she wrote, asserting that the gestures were not born of genuine concern. Her post became emotional as she recounted her family’s darkest hour during her brother’s hospitalization and eventual death. She claimed the pastors ignored her pleas for help and only offered financial assistance after he had passed.

“When my brother was dying, I reached out. I begged and begged and begged. Because I spent everything I had trying to save my brother. These people ignored me and my brother died,” Ogala wrote in the post that spread quickly across social media.

She continued, “Immediately my brother died. That was when they decided to start sending money… They are not nice people.”

Background: Long‑Running Conflict With Pastor Chris Okafor

Chris Okafor

The name most prominently recognised among those Ogala listed is Chris, widely understood to be Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministries, a televangelist figure with a national following. Ogala and Okafor’s conflict stretches back several months and has dominated social media headlines since late 2025.

In December 2025, Ogala released a video in which she claimed to have been in an intimate relationship with Pastor Okafor since 2017 and asserted that he had broken promises he had made to her, including a promise of marriage. She alleged that the relationship had contributed to the breakdown of her earlier marriage. Okafor’s public apology to Ogala on December 28, 2025, in which he knelt before his congregation to seek forgiveness for “mistakes,” was widely shared online, although he also denied that “everything that was said is true.” Ogala responded by saying she forgave him but disputed his claim that her allegations were lies.

That dispute has since broadened. On February 10 and 11, 2026, Ogala took to Instagram again, this time alleging that police officers had arrived at her home and claiming they were sent by Pastor Okafor. She wrote simply, “Policemen in my house,” and later “Chris sent police to arrest me,” in posts that immediately trended online. These claims came shortly after she publicly challenged Okafor over remarks about his family, including the paternity of his children. She also accused him of sending inappropriate photos, which he has not publicly confirmed.

Allegations, Legal Tensions, and Public Debate

Beyond social media outbursts, there has been reported legal and law enforcement involvement in the saga. According to reports, Pastor Chris Okafor has faced police invitations and inquiries over various allegations, including serious criminal claims. The pastor was invited by the Lagos State Command on January 5, 2026 over multiple allegations, including rape and other offences, with investigations ongoing.

However, Okafor’s legal representatives have described some aspects of the campaign against him as a calculated attempt to harm his reputation. They noted that Ogala had previously been involved in legal disputes with him that resulted in an out‑of‑court settlement containing terms preventing public discussions, and that some claims were later revived on social media.

Ogala’s conflict with Okafor has also spilled over into exchanges with other members of the public and celebrities. In January 2026, comedian Akpororo and Ogala publicly traded words on Instagram after Akpororo advised resolving the dispute privately rather than on social media. Ogala rejected that suggestion, warning that the matter was too serious and saying she would reveal alleged misconduct if challenged.

Claims Beyond Okafor: The Other Pastors Named

While the dispute with Pastor Chris Okafor has received extensive coverage, Ogala’s latest Instagram post broadened her grievances to include Suleman, Jeremiah, and Jerry. Ogala characterised all four as having been unhelpful during her personal crisis and suggested that their support in the form of money came too late and under degrading conditions.

Her post ended on a somber note: “THIS DORIS YOU ARE SEEING HERE IS NOT OKAY. NOTHING IN THIS WORLD WILL MAKE ME HAPPY ANYMORE. THE DEATH OF MY BROTHER TOOK A PART OF ME.” She continued that she would speak out regardless of public reaction, saying, “If you think your insult will stop me, you are wasting your time,” and indicating that the details she plans to disclose will continue unfolding.

Conclusion

Doris Ogala’s latest post underscores the complex interplay between grief, personal betrayal, and public scrutiny. Her allegations against these four prominent pastors have sparked mixed reaction from netizens online. While much of her account remains unverified, the emotional weight of her statements is undeniable.
