Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has once again found herself at the centre of public debate after photos of her with her ex-husband surfaced online.
The viral images were taken at a recent event in Umuahia, Abia State, where Doris and her former husband were seen together for the first time in years. In a video that made the rounds earlier, the actress was also seen kneeling down to apologise to him, suggesting that the two had reached some form of reconciliation.
Fresh photos from the event show Doris smiling warmly as she hugged her ex, a moment that immediately caught the attention of social media users.
However, the reunion did not sit well with many Nigerians. While a few praised the man for being calm and forgiving, others criticised both parties — especially Doris — accusing her of returning only because her recent relationship had ended badly.
Several online users suggested that the actress was acting affectionate because she had been “dumped” and now had nowhere else to turn. Others said the situation made both of them look desperate, while some claimed that her recent issues with Pastor Chris Okafor may have pushed her back to her former marriage.
The reunion comes just months after Doris was involved in a messy public fallout with Pastor Okafor. The actress had accused the clergyman of promising to marry her and later abandoning her. She also alleged emotional trauma, financial exploitation, and the leaking of private materials without her consent.
Despite her accusations, the pastor went on to get married, which further escalated the drama. Doris later claimed that money was offered to her to keep quiet, and she demanded compensation, monthly payments, and business shares as settlement for what she said she went through.
Pastor Okafor later admitted during a church service that he made mistakes and publicly apologised, even kneeling before his congregation. Doris accepted his apology but maintained that he was still lying about the nature of their relationship.
Now, with her sudden reunion with her ex-husband, many observers believe Doris is trying to find stability after a turbulent period in her personal life — though the public remains sharply divided over her actions.
