Popular digital storyteller Lucky Udu publicly criticizes Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere. In a series of recent viral reactions, Udu expressed deep dissatisfaction with the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) following the controversial marriage of the Apostle’s autistic adopted son, Aboy Chibuzor.
Udu, who has a long-standing relationship with the Apostle and has often documented OM’s philanthropic works, stated unequivocally, “I am not happy with OPM Pastor,” signaling a significant rift between the media personality and the cleric over what many describe as a “transactional” approach to marriage for the vulnerable.
The controversy began in late March 2026, when Apostle Chibuzor posted a viral appeal seeking a wife for Aboy, an autistic young man abandoned at the OPM gates years ago.
The offer—which included a ₦10 million wedding gift, a free house, and an overseas vacation—was met with immediate backlash from human rights groups and feminists who labeled it a “degradation of womanhood.”
While the wedding eventually took place on Sunday, March 29, 2026, in Port Harcourt, Lucky Udu’s recent intervention suggests that the ethical concerns surrounding the union have not been resolved.
Udu argues that using financial incentives to secure a “caregiver in the guise of a wife” for a person with special needs undermines the sanctity of marriage and the dignity of the parties involved.
Apostle Chibuzor has earlier defended his actions as an act of “compassion and survival” for a child with no known family, but the move to promise an additional ₦20 million bonus if the couple remains together for 10 years has only fueled Udu’s criticism.
The media personality, known for his “human-centric” storytelling, suggested that the Apostle should have focused on professional medical care and institutional support rather than a publicized marriage “incentivized by millions.”
This rift is particularly notable given Udu’s previous defense of the cleric during the “Happie Boys” scholarship scandal in 2023, where he acted as a mediator between the Apostle and his disgruntled beneficiaries.
