The much-talked-about rift between the popular skit-making duo, Happie Boys, and Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere of Omega Power Ministry (OPM) took a dramatic turn on Sunday as the entertainers publicly apologized to the cleric, admitting they were deceived into making false allegations against him.
For months, the feud had generated heated debates across social media, with Nigerians divided over whether the boys were victims of abandonment or ingrates who betrayed the pastor who once sponsored their education abroad.
That tension was finally eased when the duo mounted the pulpit during a church service to tender their apology, confessing that they were manipulated into attacking the same man who once gave them a lifeline.
According to their statement, they had been misled by a U.S.-based nurse assistant, identified as Daniel Ochu, who allegedly presented himself as a doctor and promised to help them relocate to America.
The duo claimed Ochu used that promise to push them into speaking negatively about Apostle Chinyere, after the pastor reportedly declined to support Ochu’s NGO financially.

Apostle Chinyere, responding during the service, confirmed he had earlier sponsored the pair’s studies in Cyprus but explained that he could not take on every financial request placed before him.
He accepted their apology and called on Nigerians to be cautious about spreading unverified allegations.
The reconciliation has sparked fresh conversations about social media influence, misinformation, and the dangers of manipulation faced by young talents seeking greener pastures.
