A new video from the wedding of popular Nigerian pastor, Chris Okafor, has ignited a fresh wave of conversations online, arriving amidst a cloud of controversy stirred by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala.
Another Angle of the Celebratory Wedding
The video, shared on TikTok by a user with the handle @adagoodlife on December 18, 2025, offers a different perspective of the clergyman's marriage ceremony to his wife, Pearl. It captures a moment where Pastor Chris Okafor is visibly elated, laughing, reaching out to guests, and even moving his head and legs in celebration.
The individual who posted the clip noted the event appeared meticulously planned, a fact she suggested Doris Ogala was unaware of. She wrote in the post: "They really take time plan this wedding but Doris no know."
Drama Preceding the Nuptials
This joyful footage surfaced shortly after reports confirmed the pastor's marriage and in the direct wake of serious allegations made by actress Doris Ogala. Ogala had publicly called out the pastor, claiming he had made marriage promises to her and vowed he would not wed anyone else.
Her claims, which were not substantiated with any presented evidence, generated significant online attention. Despite her declarations that the wedding would not proceed, the ceremony went ahead as planned at the Monarch Event Centre in Ikate, Lagos.
Nigerians React to the Viral Wedding Clip
The video prompted a flood of comments from social media users, with opinions sharply divided.
One user, Ifeyinwa, who claimed to have attended, provided insider details: "Omo I was at the wedding o! If you see how secretive the wedding was. Everyone locked their phones. Phones were not allowed at all!... The man was even scared sef, he entered from the back but the hall was so beautiful! The bride is so beautiful herself."
Other reactions were more critical or speculative. User Wealthedu commented: "Pastor Chris Okafor pretends to be happy by showing a smiling face but psychologically in tension and restlessness."
D-Charlotte 10/7 questioned the timing: "Is the wedding supposed to take place they are supposed to investigate on the issue at hand first, the bride self na so marriage Dey hungry you."
Another user, Mis, offered a tempered view: "So this lady heard everything that woman said I still go ahead with the wedding nah them go divorce come out to Dey shout marriage is not good, any ways may god bless their home and give peace to that woman."
Pastor's Previous Comments on Marriage Resurface
In a related development, a past video of Pastor Chris Okafor listing traits he considered unsuitable in a wife has recirculated online. In the clip, he suggested that women who speak harshly, disrespect elders, have numerous past partners, or refuse to submit in marriage might find it difficult to get a husband.
The wedding of Pastor Chris Okafor, set against a backdrop of public drama, continues to be a major talking point, highlighting the intense scrutiny public figures face in their personal lives within the Nigerian social media space.
