He suggested that while marriage can lead to feelings of neglect, the bond between a father and child remains unbroken.Socrate Safo, in an interview with Okay FM, echoed Brother Sammy's views, stating that having children outside of marriage is not a negative thing.

He referenced biblical instances where prophets fathered children with concubines, emphasizing that such children were not treated as outcasts."I agree with what Brother Sammy said. It’s not a bad thing to have a child with a lady you aren’t married to. All this happened in the Bible; back then it was a norm. We had prophets who had children with their concubines. Children of concubines were not bastards that they got rid of."Safo also expressed his belief that, given the changing societal norms, having children outside of marriage might become more widely accepted in the future."Looking at the world we find ourselves in now, I believe it will be a norm that you have a child with a lady you are not married to," he added.
