Sammie Okposo: Pastor Adefarasin Helped Me Stop Womanizing!

Award winning Gospel singer/Glo ambassador
Sammie Okposo, has revealed in a recent
interview how he struggled with and overcame
his womanizing ways.
Despite being a Gospel singer, Sammie Okposo
struggled with the ladies as he was linked with
numerous women in the entertainment
industry. From having a child with Gloria Ibru
to being engaged to Kate Henshaw and being
rumoured to be involved with Stella Damasus
shortly after she lost her husband, Jaiye
Aboderin, it was a long list of ladies.
Speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast
show, Sunrise, over the weekend, Sammie
Okposo disclosed that he made so many
mistakes in his early music career and spoke
about how Paul Adefarasin of House on the
Rock helped him. On his uprbringing, Sammie
said:“I grew up in a Christian family, with my
father as a notable figure in the Church,
however, despite my religious upbringing, I
lived a certain kind of wild life which was
devoid of drinking but filled with so many
other ungodly acts and “a lot” of womanizing.
It got bad when I shared an apartment with
other musicians and a lot of crazy things
happened in the building that negatively
influenced me. If I had known so many things I
know now, I wouldn’t have made so many
mistakes”
He acknowledged Pastor Paul Adefarasin, for
re-orientating him about Christianity, youth
and fun.Before things went sour between
them, Sammie Okposo was the lead singer in
the House on the Rock choir and enjoyed a
great relationship with Pastor Paul until news
started filtering in about Sammie’s relationship
with other female choir members. Sammie was
excommunicated in 2005.
Sammie Okposo said “A heavy burden has been
lifted off my shoulders and I am so happy now
cos my spiritual father, Pastor Paul Adefarasin
sent for me on Sunday Sept 20th 2009, after
being away from House on the Rock for over
four years. He welcomed me back with a
loving hug, reconciled with me, blessed me and
anointed me with me. It was a service filled
with tears of joy and forgiveness. I thank you
lord for your love, mercy and faithfulness”
