Gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, has provoked mixed reactions from netizens after he publicly apologized to his wife, Ozioma, for cheating.

Okposo, in an Instagram post on Tuesday, announced to his fans and followers that he was involved in a relationship with another woman during one of his trips to the United States in 2021.

Interestingly, the American-based woman, identified as African Doll, had accused Okposo of impregnating her, barely 24 hours before his confession.

Reacting to his post, @VictorIsrael_ said, “Sammie Okposo apologised publicly for cheating on his wife. It’s easy for us to say he should have done it privately. Truth is, it’s either his wife demanded it, the lady he cheated with is blackmailing him or solely his own decision. Whichever way, it’s not in our place to Judge.

@Tee_Classiquem1 also said, “I just want to know why Sammie Okposo feel the need to apologize to people on social media. Did you cheat on us or you cheated on your wife? Is this an attempt for people to bully her into forgiving you or what? I just don’t understand all this social media apology thing to be very honest.

@hypemanoscar said; “It was absolutely unnecessary to bring it on social media; ask God for forgiveness, ask your wife for forgiveness then move on with your life, bringing it here will only blow it out of proportion.

@AmosAdeleke5 said; “What is this nonsense all about? Did you cheat on your wife via social media? This folks should know better for Christ sake. Apologise to your God, wife and close ones privately. This social media apology is disgraceful.. Sammie should know better

@iam_kcee_kelly said; “Why am I feeling that the side fowl has threatened to blackmail him , hence the smart move May God forgive our sins regardless

@Dorothywealth said; “A lot of people are saying he shouldn’t have brought it to social media, forgetting that the lady he got involved brought it to social media,also forgetting that he is a minister of the Gospel, might probably hold a post in the church,of which am very sure wife,and the body of Christ must have asked him to take the step,the man has gone astray,he is human and that makes him imperfect,it could happen to anyone,i just Pray that the Lord forgives him, Keep his family and his ministry together IJN!

@MartinsMartizoo said; “Are you apologising to her or the public? I would do this privately and mean it.

@TimzyforGod said; “It’s good he made it public. There are some secret sins that needs public confession, most especially adultery. Pastor Jimmy Swaggart also had an affair with his personal secretary in secret but his confession was done during the Church service where all his Congregation were.”
