Pastor Chris Okafor of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, popularly known as Liberation City, has ushered in the year 2026 with vibrant celebrations, sharing moments from his church's crossover service held on Tuesday, December 31. This comes despite the cleric facing a wave of online controversies, primarily linked to actress Doris Ogala, who has repeatedly called him out over alleged past dealings.
Crossover Celebration Amidst Online Storm
On New Year's Eve, Pastor Okafor took to social media to post pictures and a live video from the event at his church. One of the standout moments was when his new wife, Pearl, joined him on the altar for a joyful dance to celebrate the arrival of 2026. In a caption accompanying the post, the pastor described the visuals as a "Pictorial excerpt from today’s live service. CROSS OVER SERVICE WITH DR. CHRIS OKAFOR."
The celebration proceeded even as the cloud of controversy persists. Actress Doris Ogala has been vocal on social media, making allegations about the pastor's past. In a related development, Ogala recently shared a video addressing alleged threats she claims to have received after speaking publicly about the cleric, including matters involving his alleged baby mama and son. She maintained that these intimidation attempts would not silence her.
Social Media Erupts with Mixed Reactions
The video of Pastor Okafor and his wife's dance moves quickly circulated online, drawing a flood of comments from netizens with varying perspectives.
Some users defended the pastor's right to celebrate. A user named Chris Akhimien commented, "Dance and enjoy yourself jare. Nor bi man call you and even if you commit sin nor bi man go judge you. Correct guy." Another, Evang Wisdom Ede, wrote, "Wherever this is oil, Ant must gather. No matter what, the anointed will always continue to Soar."
Others directly referenced the ongoing drama with Doris Ogala. A comment from Donald Adamu read, "Doris go cry ah swear," while Momoh Felix predicted, "Once Doris see this dance now, she go start another round of who are you leaving me for." User Apoti offered a more cryptic take: "As he dey sweat us he dey pain them. Nobesay I dey craze nah my God I dey praise oooo."
A Broader Context of Personal Disputes
The current online spat is not the only personal controversy surrounding the pastor. Legit.ng had previously reported that Pastor Okafor's ex-wife also reacted to allegations he made against her, specifically concerning infidelity. The ex-wife defended herself in a video that also garnered significant attention online.
Despite the series of allegations and personal disputes playing out on social media, Pastor Chris Okafor's church activities, including the well-attended crossover service, appear to continue unabated. The shared moments of celebration highlight a deliberate display of moving forward into the new year, even as past and present conflicts generate heated discussions among the Nigerian public.
