Sammie Okposo “Why I Dumped Kate Henshaw & Stella Damasus For My Wife”
August 5, 2014 – Sammie Okposo “Why I Dumped Kate Henshaw & Stella Damasus For My Wife”
Gospel star Sammie Okposo has revisited his past romance with Nollywood actresses Kate Henshaw and Stella Damasus and why he had to dump them for his wife.
In a recent chat with Y! Mag, Sammie Okposo said he wasn’t under a good mentor when he became a serial womanizer despite his deep Christian root.
Read the interview excerpt in part below:
Interviewer: You moved effortlessly from one woman to another then. In fact, you were gliding and galloping (General laughter) – Kate Henshaw, Stella Damasus, Janet Fateye, Gloria Ibru and so on. How were you able to cope during those days?
Sammie Okposo: It was mad! It’s a crazy thing that I did then. The industry just swallowed me. That’s the only way I can describe it because I was an up and coming entertainment personality, I was involved in all the media events, all the awards. They were calling me to be part of the theme songs, to do this, do that and I said to myself, my God, this is the life! The kind of ladies that you will not dare say good morning to; you don’t even have to say good morning; as you are passing, they will just say hi and you begin to wonder: am i the one they are waving at? Because I was in the limelight and I didn’t know how to handle it; I entered it gbuaaaa! And I was like my God; is this what these celebrities are dealing with? Where you don’t even have to say hello to a lady.
She’s looking for you, she’s trying to hang out with you. So, I didn’t know what to do with it; I thought that was the life and the thing just swallowed me and like you said, before you knew it, I was gliding and galloping from relationship to relationship. It was crazy! I didn’t know better. I didn’t know better, but I will balance that. I didn’t know better, but somehow, I am grateful that I had to go through that. Because that is what I appreciate now; because of what I have been through.
You know they say experience is the best teacher. When you have gone through some things, that is when you look back and you say ah! That was not a good experience. You will do all you can not to go through that again.

You are so correct. Kate dumped this goat years before he met his wife. She dumped him before marrying her english husband. He was abusive towards her and she decided to let him go. He needs to keep his ugly big potty mouth shut. No one wants to know what is happening in your life Sammy.Are you sure that you are truly happy with your marriage?

Look at who is talking, you dumped them or they dumped you, you can dumped kate henshaw coz she very ugly like you do, but as for stella she step so low to even talk to you, damn! The day she even talk to you suppose to be your happiest day on earth, she’s just like an idol you suppose to be worshipping, I sue you didn’t even see her pant, coz she is not just ur type, maybe she just make you a friend and you turn it the other way round, I don’t know abt kate coz she is ur type

I guess you were happy and pleased you told the story of your dirty past just to please your wife, and make those ladies look dirty and erresponsible in their choice of you then, whatever was your intention coming to town with the news when its clear all those mentioned are in a sort of relation right now; equally tell how useless a man you are even now that you are in a secured relation with another woman, who without doubt was also girl friends to others before you met her. Sammy Okposo, Could you please ask your wife to do same as you frankly did, naming women ever in your life.? I expect your wife to be bold and tell the whole world, to demonstrate her unflitching love for you, how many boyfriends she had taken before you met her.
I am not surprised about you because the fame came as you yourself admitted when you least expected it, literally, you don’t belong where you find yourself now, consequently, with a hindsight of your journey through life; your wife I believe must have been spriritually blinded to have settled for your type for a husband. All those you mentioned don’t belong to your class anyway and I’m very certain ladies in my remote village in Kogi State will never take a second look at you on the street even in your best dress, because you bear a close semblance of freed slaves in the Haitian sugarcane farms.

Your type needs to be sent to sugarcane farms in Haiti where your physical body potentials can be maximised.

Sometimes people open mouth in a very immature manner to talk about their past relationship and if you dig deep, it was sammie that lick Kate Henshaw’s feet. My prayer is that before being boastful let him pray for God’s hand in his marriage because no man can predict tommorrow. Past relationships must be respected no matter how ugly it was to enable each party be able to say hi whenever they meet. life is not about being boastful and belittling others. The woman he adores now may also become one like Kate Henshaw tommorow.
