THE UNSTOPABLE SAMMIE OKPOSO

THE UNSTOPABLE SAMMIE OKPOSO
Like him or hate him, his success as a gospel artiste has so far surpassed that of any other gospel act(s) in Nigeria. He is now a shining light to the younger generation. No wonder, he held fans in London and Dublin on their feet in a wild ovation recently.
He left the country with his pastor, Pastor Paul Adefarasin for a special function in London on October 18th. It was the dedication of the House On The Rock’s new auditorium in Central London. We heard it was a wonderful experience as his ministration refreshed the souls of the guests. Two days after, precisely on October 20th, he thrilled another set of guests with his enlivening performance. He was meant to fly from London to Dublin for his performance but Pastor Taiwo Odukoya of Fountain of Life Church had to fly him to Nigeria to perform in his Discovery For Men Rally on October 25th. He was the only guest artiste. He used the opportunity of his presence in the country to finally seal his next release with Soforte, the new most credible alternative to music distribution in Nigeria.
He left the country on October 28th for Dublin as one of the artistes that performed in the Megafest show that had other acts like Midnight Crew, Mike Aremu and other Dublin based acts. On October 29th, he left a message on his facebook profile urging fans to pray for him. “I’m excited and expectant cos i,m going to be at the megafest concert tomorrow October 30th in dublin ireland. Pls pray with me that as i minister, God will give credibility to my voice and use me as he pleases to touch and transform the lives of every one who attends. Its my heart’s desire that God will grant me the aunction to function and show himself strong at the Megafest Concert 6”. Being the star artiste of the night, information reaching us revealed that he wowed the guests with his electrifying performance.
Meanwhile, the same Sammie Okposo is one of the artistes expected to headline tonight’s performances at the third edition of Nigeria’s premier Music Video Awards; NMVA. Glitz Stage spoke with him on phone from Dublin and he said he would do all that is humanly possible to honour the performance at the awards because its pivotal role in the forefront of music video revolution in Nigeria.
