Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has found an unlikely defender in popular comedian Dauda amidst her ongoing public dispute with clergyman Pastor Chris Okafor. The comedian, whose real name is Kingsley Ogbonna, paid a visit to Ogala at her home, an encounter captured in a video that has since gone viral across Nigerian social media platforms.
Dauda's Personal Testimony on Ogala's Character
In the widely circulated video, posted on December 18, 2025, Dauda is seen offering support to the actress during what appears to be a difficult period. He used the opportunity to speak publicly about Ogala's true nature, directly countering the negative public perception that has surrounded her since the controversy began.
"She's the type of virtuous woman who will never sell her body for money. You need to get close to know how pure she is," Dauda asserted in the clip. He insisted that the actress is a woman of strong morals and integrity, a characterization starkly different from the narrative playing out online.
The Core of the Controversy: Ogala's Allegations Against Pastor Chris
The comedian's visit and testimony come against the backdrop of serious allegations made by Doris Ogala against Pastor Chris Okafor. The clergyman recently married Pearl in a church ceremony after their engagement photos went viral.
However, in a previous video, Ogala made several explosive claims:
- She alleged that Pastor Chris Okafor did not marry Pearl willingly, but was forced into the union.
- She claimed the pastor had gotten her (Ogala) pregnant, and Pearl's family insisted he must marry her.
- Ogala stated that Pearl's family threatened to expose the pastor unless he went through with the marriage.
- She further contended that Pearl was not the woman Pastor Okafor had allegedly dated in 2024, suggesting another woman was originally intended to be his bride.
Ogala also addressed her critics, stating that she was no longer interested in marrying the clergyman and that it took significant courage for her to speak out publicly.
Mixed Public Reactions to Dauda's Defense
The public response to Dauda's defense of Ogala has been divided, with many Nigerians taking to social media to share their opinions. Legit.ng compiled some of the notable reactions, highlighting the skepticism and humor that often accompanies such celebrity dramas.
One user, @EAZYFOOL_, commented cynically, "Even dauda dey chop am," implying ulterior motives. Another, @AOchiawuto, took a more sympathetic view: "Comedian Dauda, I am grateful for your efforts to comfort Doris Ogala during her difficult times and prevent her from committing suicidde."
Other reactions ranged from questioning Dauda's own fame—"Who is comedian dauda again?"—to speculating about the nature of his support, with @callmeMEJE asking, "Her mood or something else he's lighting up?" User @justkency offered a psychological analysis, suggesting Ogala remains fixated on Pastor Chris because she is still in love with him, despite Dauda's genuine care.
The saga continues to unfold, blending elements of celebrity culture, personal relationships, and public scrutiny, keeping it a trending topic in Nigerian entertainment circles.
