Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has refused a $10,000 settlement offered by Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of Grace Nation Bible Ministry, insisting she will not retract her earlier statements about him.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Saturday, Ogala detailed that the clergyman had brought the money during discussions and pleaded with her to publicly deny her claims. She alleged that Pastor Okafor wanted her to claim she had been sent by other pastors to make false accusations against him, a request she firmly rejected.
“Chris, you’ve seen me finish ooo, honestly, you have seen me finish. This is $10,000, he gave me this $5,000 last night after we talked and he was pleading and all that. Then he gave me this $5,000 this afternoon,” she said.
Ogala accused the pastor of attempting to manipulate her into lying, adding, “This man is just mad. You can imagine this man wanted me to come and say that all the pastors or a few pastors were the ones who sent me to come and fight him. I should put it on the pastors’ head, then I will come out and debunk everything that I have said. Come on, you want me to take a fool? After all that I have said?”

She further clarified her stance, asserting that the money held no sway over her integrity. “Chris, you see this money that you gave me, it will never be a transaction of anything in my life or transaction of any part of my body. I cancelled every evil altar that you are coming from. He that is in me and protecting me is greater. I deliberately collected this money to tell you that everything I have said is the truth. I’m not lying and I will never lie. Chris, I’m not as cheap as you are, ten thousand dollars is nothing to me, and I’m not blackmailing you but I wanted the world to see that you actually gave me money. Chris, I will not lie on any pastor or put it on any pastor’s head,” she stated.
The video, recorded on December 23, 2025, at 5:39 pm, comes days after Ogala revealed that ongoing discussions were underway to resolve the dispute. The controversy stems from allegations that Pastor Okafor ended his relationship with her for another woman despite promising marriage.
This latest development has reignited public debate over the dispute, with many social media users following Ogala’s disclosures closely.
