BREAKING: Gospel singer, Sammie Okposo is dead

Sammie Okposo’s project manager, Hillary Vincent, has refuted rumors that the well-known late gospel singer slumped at his home in Lekki, Lagos, on Friday morning, November 25, 2022.

Numerous media outlets claimed that when he supposedly slumped, he was taken to the hospital where he was given the prognosis of death.

However, in an exclusive interview with Sunday Scoop, Vincent said, “It is not true that Sammie slumped and died. That report is false. At the right time, the family will set the records straight. But, I can tell you authoritatively that he did not slump. Rather, he just did not wake up from his sleep.

“As regards the funeral arrangements, the details will be made known by the family. But right now, they are still in grief and mourning the departed singer.

The singer was best known for songs such as Welu Welu, which was on his first album, Unconditional Love.

‘Na only You’ was another popular song which was contained in the album No More Drama. The album featured other gospel singers such as Kefee, Essence, Ige Samsong and Soji Isreal.

Another of his songs, Sing Hallelujah, was released in 2019, but it has continued to make waves, especially in gospel circles.

In 2020, he released Chukwu Ebube, a contemporary afrocentric worship that featured Micheal Stuckey.

On November 4, 2022, in Lagos, he had hosted the Sammie Okposo Praise Party just before he passed away. He had shared a throwback video of the show on his Instagram page the day before he passed away. He was seen leading the assembly in fervent praise and worship in the video.

In the meantime, the artist continues to receive numerous tributes. Richard Mofe-Damijo, a seasoned actor, shared a video of the two of them together with caption, “This was exactly a month ago in the US. We spent two weeks together and fellowshipped as men. Ate, drank and, as I’m known to do, teased you. Toks or Jedi, would drive you to me and we would spend the entire day together.’’

Mike Bamiloye Backs Adeboye’s Apology On Tithing Misinterpretation

Published

on

Mike Bamiloye, founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, has expressed support for Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God following his public apology regarding teachings on tithing.

Bamiloye acknowledged that it was no small feat for Pastor Adeboye to openly apologize for his earlier statements about tithe payment.

Pastor Adeboye recently admitted that he had made a mistake in his previous teachings, where he had said that those who don’t pay tithe would not make it to heaven. He clarified that the Bible does not support this claim and instead emphasizes that living a peaceful and holy life is essential for entering heaven.

In response, Bamiloye noted,“Daddy E.A. Adeboye made a statement and the Lord corrected him before he came out in the open to correct himself at the Lord’s instruction.

“You think it is easy for a man of such global status to come out in the open to apologise if God had not corrected him in the secret?

“It is only a person who has heaven in focus and eternity in heaven in view that would count it important to do that.

“If you like, make jest of him. If you like, drag him on the ground for doing what the Lord had instructed him to do. Baba has heaven in his focus, and that is why he doesn’t care about earthly honour or human ego.

“It takes humility for a man of global status as this to come out and apologise. Only God could have spoken to such a man.

“Because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).”
