Nigerian actress Doris Ogala has reacted angrily after the founder of Grace Nation International Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor, allegedly referred to her as “Jezebel.”
The controversy began shortly after the clergyman withdrew an earlier apology he had made to the actress regarding claims that he ended their long-term sexual relationship to marry another woman.
While addressing the issue, Okafor explained that his earlier act of kneeling to seek forgiveness was not directed at Ogala. Instead, he said the gesture was meant to show respect to church leaders and senior ministers.
According to him, he had never personally met the actress or wronged her in any way.
He said, “let it be known, I knelt down because of those fathers of faith and the church. Not because of any Jezebel anywhere. No, God forbid.”

Ogala, however, quickly responded on Instagram, expressing anger over the remark and warning the pastor that she would respond to being called “Jezebel.”
She wrote, “Na me u Call jezzibel Abi. U don’t know who jazibel be. Because I was pitying u. I will show you what jazibel Dey do.”
In a separate video posted on her social media page, the actress insisted that the earlier apology offered by the cleric was not sufficient and maintained that he would still have to publicly beg her again.
She said, “Chris, maybe you think this thing is a joke, do you think I care about your apology? I said you will crawl and apologize to me, you think I’m joking. That one you kneel down to do at your church is not enough. I said you will crawl, you will lay down and crawl on the floor and beg me.
“You call me Jezebel, I will teach you what Jezebel do. You earlier admitted in a court paper that we actually dated. I’m glad that God is actually exposing you. I want you guys to see the pastor who preach in the church. A pastor who came out and apologized. Pride got into him again and he came back to say he’s not sorry, he’s not apologetic. Shebi you boy Kaci said he did not know where that video came out but yet you’re pushing it to go viral. Do you think this person cares about anything anymore? In case you guys don’t know, nothing makes sense to me anymore.”
