Rema Donates ₦105M To Church, Recounts How Church Opened Shop For His Mum After He Lost His Dad (Video)

Popular Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, aka Rema, has donated a total of 105 million naira to a Christ Embassy church in Benin, the Edo State capital.

The ''Ozeba'' crooner recounted how the church showed kindness to his family when he lost his father.

The singer made the donation on Sunday, September 1, 2024, after he was called up on stage.

Expressing gratitude to the church for its guidance and support, he said;

“I’m not here to give myself any accolades or glory. I’m here to give God the glory. I feel like it is important to give back because the church has embraced, and prayed for me, and has kept me very consistent with my spirit.''

“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 teen's church, I also want to pledge N25m to the infrastructure of the teen's church.

“I’m pledging N20 million to widows in church today.

“When I was eight years 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 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 how she managed to take care of us,” he added.

Rema is currently on a homecoming tour of Edo state, where he performed at a highly anticipated concert.

He arrived in Benin last Tuesday and attended the groundbreaking ceremony of a 6,000-capacity Edo Arena named after him by Governor Godwin Obaseki.

He also paid homage to the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, at his palace, where he is said to have entertained the monarch.
