Rema donates N105m to Christ Embassy Church
Afrobeats sensation, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, on Sunday, donated N105m to a Christ Embassy church in Benin, Edo State for its support and guidance.
The singer, while thanking the church, revealed that it supported his family during a difficult time after his father’s passing.
He said, “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 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.”
Furthermore, the singer distributed the money saying, “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, 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 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.”
