Doris Ogala Sues Pastor Chris Okafor For N1 Billion Over Broken Marriage Promise
Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has slapped Pastor Chris Okafor with a ₦1 billion lawsuit, accusing him of breaking a long-standing promise to marry her and instead marrying another woman. Ogala’s lawyers said their client’s relationship with Okafor began in 2017, during a period of marital difficulty. They claim the pastor repeatedly promised marriage, introduced her to his family, and even involved her in family events, creating a clear expectation of wedlock. The legal team said Ogala relied on the promise, leaving her troubled marriage and entrusting Okafor with ₦45 million in a single transaction. The lawsuit alleges that his public engagement to another woman caused emotional trauma, reputational harm, cyberbullying, and unauthorized circulation of private photographs, resulting in severe psychological and health consequences. While the letter acknowledges that marriage cannot be enforced by law, Ogala’s team is demanding ₦1 billion in damages for the emotional, physical, and reputational harm she suffered. They have given Okafor 21 days to settle the claim before pursuing court action. The case has drawn widespread attention online, with many following the drama and awaiting a response from Pastor Okafor.
CAN Condemns Ini Edo’s Nollywood Film A Very Dirty Christmas, Calls Title Offensive to Christian Faith
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has criticised the title of the newly released Nollywood film, A Very Dirty Christmas, describing it as offensive to the Christian faith and calling for a review by relevant regulatory authorities. In a statement released on Tuesday, CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh said Christmas is a sacred period that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and should not be presented in a way that undermines its spiritual significance. He argued that associating the word “dirty” with Christmas diminishes the essence of a celebration that represents purity, peace, love, and redemption. The statement read in part: “The Christian Association of Nigeria is deeply troubled by the title of the movie: ‘A Very Dirty Christmas,’ which it considers offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith. “Christmas is a sacred season that marks the birth of Jesus Christ and represents purity, peace, love, and redemption. “Linking such a holy celebration with the word ‘dirty’ diminishes its spiritual meaning and reduces a solemn religious observance to something crude and sensational.” While acknowledging the importance of creative freedom in filmmaking, CAN emphasised that such freedom must be exercised with restraint and sensitivity, particularly in a religiously diverse country like Nigeria. The statement continued: “CAN therefore calls on the National Film and Video Censors Board to explain how the title was approved for public exhibition, particularly during the Christmas season. “CAN also urges industry bodies such as the Actors Guild of Nigeria and other stakeholders in Nollywood to take a clear stand on the use of religious themes and symbols in ways that may offend faith communities.” CAN also appealed to the film’s producer, Ini Edo, to be sensitive to public concerns and take steps to address them. The association warned that trivialising sacred values at a time when the country faces moral and social challenges could deepen divisions and erode mutual respect. Produced by Ini Edo and directed by Akay Mason, A Very Dirty Christmas premiered in cinemas nationwide on December 16, 2025. The film tells the story of a Christmas family reunion thrown into chaos by unresolved secrets and past trauma, turning the festive season into a period of emotional turmoil.

Juma Jux Reveals He Fell In Love With Wife Priscilla Before Knowing She Was A Celebrity
Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has revealed how he fell in love with his wife, Priscilla, without realizing she was a celebrity at the time. Recalling their first encounter in Rwanda, Jux described it as “love at first sight,” saying their connection was instant. He was immediately drawn to her beauty, and they began talking, completely unaware of her fame. “I’m so happy. I’m in love. I love my wife so much. I love my family. When I first met her in Rwanda, I didn’t know she was a celebrity. I just saw her with Chioma… and I thought, wow, this girl, she’s beautiful. We started talking, and it was just amazing. Even after the basketball game, she never revealed she was famous. I saw her followers and thought, okay, she’s popular, but I didn’t know she was this big,” he said. Juma Jux added that their bond only grew stronger after a trip to Zanzibar, where they took pictures and spent time together. He credited their matchmaker, Chioma, for witnessing their love story from the very beginning. “Meeting Priscilla was love at first sight. I just knew she was the one,” he said. “I didn’t know Priscilla was a celebrity when I met her.” – Juma Jux pic.twitter.com/kJuUiG5gkq — Metro Naija (@metronaija) December 16, 2025
Toyosi Etim Effiong Explains Why Cheating Would Not End Her Marriage
Toyosi Etim Effiong, the wife of Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong, has shared that infidelity alone would not make her walk away from her marriage. She expressed this view during a recent episode of the Toke Moments podcast, where she spoke candidly about marriage, commitment and the role of faith. Toyosi explained that while cheating is serious, it is not something she considers grounds for ending her union, as her focus is more on prayer and spiritual backing. “Cheating is not a dealbreaker for me. I even created a prayer group, Wives of Entertainers Prayer Group, to pray for our husbands so that Jezebels will not carry them,” she said. According to her, rather than abandoning her marriage in the face of infidelity, she chooses to lean on faith and prayer as a way of safeguarding her home and strengthening her relationship. She also emphasized that enduring marriages are built on love, patience and effective communication, noting that both partners must be intentional about understanding each other and working together through challenges.
