A Nigerian man has stirred significant controversy on social media after publicly declaring his unwavering love and support for Pastor Chris Okafor, the founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry. This declaration comes amidst a wave of heavy public scrutiny facing the popular cleric.
Unshaken Loyalty Amidst Scandal
The incident, which occurred in late December 2025, saw a TikTok user identified as @mrsunday share a video with a caption that quickly drew widespread attention. In his post, the man boldly stated, "The love I have for Pst Chris Okafor is divine." This affirmation of loyalty was made despite the ongoing negative criticism surrounding Pastor Okafor.
The pastor has been at the center of a public relations crisis following allegations made by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala. Ogala publicly called out the preacher, claiming he ended a long-term alleged relationship with her. This accusation has led to intense online debate and criticism directed at Pastor Okafor's character and ministry.
Netizens React with Fury and Sarcasm
The man's post did not sit well with a large section of Nigerian social media users, who flooded the comments section with angry and sarcastic responses. Many questioned the rationale behind such a staunch declaration of support for a figure embroiled in controversy.
One user, @BARON..LORD.231, challenged the pastor directly, commenting, "Someone should tell Chris okafor to open his comments section." Another user, @lovelyonus, offered a sympathetic view of the supporter, suggesting, "You people should not blame his members they’re under captive is not their their clear eyes that’s what Doris said."
The criticism was often pointed and personal. User @kandikins reacted strongly, stating, "He is a big disgrace, the sooner people realise this, the better for them, because whoever follows this wicked so called Pastor will follow him straight to hell." Another comment from @Bosco made serious allegations, claiming, "This man don nac All the female members of that church. Person wey no even spare e daughters."
Other reactions included pointed questions and comparisons. User @alexobella6 asked, "Do you really know the meaning of Divine?" while @chimuanya miracle simply remarked, "Birds of the same feathers." The comment from @Jespy Harrison highlighted a perceived hypocrisy, noting, "Divorced wife with 4 kids. Promisory notes to four ladies and now a new beginning. If na your church member, what would be your counseling. Church is do what I say, not what I do."
A Pattern of Support and Controversy
This is not the first instance of public figures commenting on the Pastor Chris Okafor and Doris Ogala situation. The scandal has prompted various reactions, including calls for the pastor to step down from his pulpit. Previously, a rare clip surfaced showing Pastor Okafor discussing what his newlywed wife did, and another moment showed his wife hugging him after a public apology to Doris Ogala, both of which trended online.
The man's viral post underscores the deeply polarized opinions surrounding influential religious figures in Nigeria. It highlights the clash between personal loyalty, public perception, and accountability, especially when leaders face serious personal allegations. While the supporter, @mrsunday, presented his allegiance as spiritually motivated or 'divine', a significant portion of the online community interpreted it as blind faith in the face of damaging claims.
The episode continues to fuel discussions about celebrity pastors, the dynamics between clergy and their congregations, and the court of public opinion in the digital age.
