Rema donates N105m to home church for supporting family after dad’s death
Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, an Afrobeats phenomenon, gave N105 million to a Christ Embassy church in Benin, Edo State on Sunday.
Rema made the contribution at a Sunday service, when she praised the church for their support and counsel.
In a now-viral video, he stated, “I’m not here to give myself any accolades or glory. I’m here to give God glory. I believe it is necessary to give back since the church has welcomed me, prayed for me, and kept me on track with my spiritual beliefs.
“Firstly, I want to give a pledge of N40m to the infrastructure of the church. I want to pledge N20m to Rhapsody of Realities, and being the fact that I came from the teens church, I also want to pledge N25m to the infrastructure of the teens church.
“I’m pledging N20 million to widows in church today.”
Rema further revealed how the church supported his family during a difficult time after his father’s passing.
He said, “When I was eight year old, when I lost my dad, we felt very lost and abandoned. All that we had was taken from us and we felt very alone and I remember at the time Pastor Joy and Pastor Thomas, the pastors of this church, they opened a shop for my mum and that was what she managed to take care of us.”
It was reported that Rema arrived his hometown in Benin on Tuesday ahead of his highly anticipated homecoming concert.
Music producer Collins Michael, aka Don Jazzy, and Mavin crew also arrived in Benin to show support for Rema’s homecoming concert
Rema was said to have entertained the Oba of Benin at his palace who presented a royal plaque to him ahead of the concert.
