Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has publicly outlined the specific condition under which she would forgive her alleged former lover, Pastor Chris Okafor. In a new video shared online, Ogala stated that her lawyer is currently formalizing her demands, which she insists are legally justified.
Legal Demands and a Promise of Marriage
The actress has been vocal on social media about her past relationship with the cleric, claiming it led to the collapse of her marriage. She alleges that Pastor Chris Okafor promised to marry her but later left her for another woman who he has since wedded.
Ogala's primary demand for forgiveness is clear: the pastor must provide her with a house. She argues this is compensation for the broken promise of marriage and the subsequent personal losses she endured. "My lawyer is already working on the matter and will soon reveal what I want from the cleric," Ogala declared in her video.
Seven-Year Relationship and Alleged Betrayal
Doris Ogala made further startling claims about the nature of their past involvement. She alleged that their relationship, which included seven years of intimate involvement, ended with her receiving no financial support from the pastor since 2017.
The actress lamented the comprehensive toll the situation has taken on her life. She claims to have lost not only her marriage but also her acting career, leaving her emotionally and professionally devastated by the actions of the spiritual leader.
Mental Health Struggles Revealed
In a deeply personal revelation, Ogala opened up about the severe impact on her mental wellbeing. She confessed to having thoughts of self-harm during the lowest points following the relationship's dissolution and the pastor's new marriage.
Her ultimatum to Pastor Chris Okafor was stark: he must either leave his current wife to marry her or fulfill her demand for a house. She emphasized that this is non-negotiable, regardless of his feelings on the matter.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Public
The video has sparked a wave of reactions from fans and followers online, with many expressing shock at her demands and others criticizing her stance.
One user, @diamond_foray1, questioned her logic, commenting: "He told you an adult to leave your marriage and you left... and you want to ask for right of marriage." Another, @amexpensive, rebuked her: "When you left your husband, did you buy him a house? ... Be ashamed of yourself."
Others expressed concern for her mental state, with @theodociousmason simply asking, "Are you even okay madam?" and @_a.d.a.e.z.e stating she should "be responsible and accountable for your own actions."
Previous Backlash from Content Creator
This is not the first time Ogala has faced criticism for her public statements about the pastor. Legit.ng had previously reported that content creator Izzy Ogbeide blasted the actress, claiming she was exhibiting signs of mental health issues and that her family should intervene.
The ongoing saga continues to unfold as Doris Ogala awaits the formal presentation of her demands through her legal representative. The public and Nollywood community are watching closely for Pastor Chris Okafor's response, if any, to these serious allegations and conditions.
