Sammie Okposo Disrupts Normalcy With Forthcoming Single “Omeriwo” Featuring Mercy Chinwo & Henrisoul
Award winning international Gospel music minister Sammie Okposo is on a mission to disrupt the normal order in the ‘Gospeldom’ with the release of the unusual single titled “Omeriwo.”
Sammie Okposo announced the release date of the forthcoming single as October 1st 2020. The song which features 2 sensational Gospel singers Mercy Chinwo and Henrisoul is a very groovy Afro Gospel tune.
Speaking about the release Sammie Okposo said judging from all that Nigeria has been through in 2020, and by extension, the world at large, there is a need for celebration seeing that God has seen us through it all.
“God has indeed done it, Nigeria and the world has overcome the pandemic and it is time to celebrate!” He said.
The tone and mood of the song is quite festive. The anticipation artwork as released by Sammie Okposo earlier today also depict the tone and mood of the song perfectly.
At the release of “Omeriwo,” it will be Sammie Okposo’s 6th release for the year 2020. It follows the release of the very successful “I Thirst For You.” which was at the number 2 trend all day on Twitter upon release. It was also at the top of many-a-chart and was complemented with a video. Other amazing singles released this year include “I Have Never Seen God Change,” “Skaataa Dance,” “Nigerian Worship Medley” and “Nobody Can.”
The forthcoming new single “Omeriwo,” just like the last release, was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Sammie Okposo at Zamar Entertainment studio. It was also written by Sammie Okposo.

UK-based Gospel Musician Joseph Matthew speaks out “The church is causing trauma for people”
The basic function of the church is to be involved in every facet of the life of the believer. This is evidently because the church is where God’s people are taught God’s Word so they can grow spiritually.
But to UK-based Ghanaian Afro-Gospel musician Joseph Matthew, also known as JM, the church today is not living up to its true billing. According to the award-winning musician, the Church has rather become one of the major places causing bountiful traumas for people.
“The Church is one of the places that cause a lot of trauma for people. One of the environments that causes trauma is the church but we are in the church, in the choir, and you are singing and your pastor or senior pastor is constantly talking down on his members .this is actually the dangerous type of trauma people experience in the church. It starts off with acute, then becomes persistent so over the years do you know how many people go through mental health issues in the church,” Matthew said.
He continued, “because your senior pastors talking down on pastors, your church leaders talking down on the youth – constantly, these kids go home and they feel the pressure to perform or to attend to do things …it’s one of the places where you have clicks, you have gangs in the church and then they gang up on people and secretly crashing and breaking them …people don’t even know about all these things all in the name of God.”
Joseph Matthew who is well noted for hit songs such as “Hallelujah”, “Nyame Ye” and “My Story” which has currently earned him a nomination at the 2021 Ghana National Gospel Music Awards made these comments while speaking as a special guest at the ‘I unravel event’- a youth worship night and seminar which was hosted by Anna Efah in London.
