Afrobeat star Divine Ikubor, known popularly as Rema, has donated a sum of N105 million to a Christ Embassy church in Benin, Edo state.
Following the success of his homecoming concert in Benin, a video of Rema at Christ Embassy campground, Sapele Road, where he and his family appreciated God, has emerged on social media on Sunday.
During his address to the church, Rema donated N105 million as a sign of his gratitude to God.
The singer recalled how the church supported his mother by opening a shop for her when she lost her husband— his father
“The church embraced me, I pledge N40 million to the infrastructure of the church, N20 million to Rhapsodies of Realities, N25 million to teen church. When I lost my dad, we felt alone, the church opened a shop for my mum, if there is any widow, I am pledging N20 million.”
Recall that the ‘Calm Down’ crooner received a heroic welcome last week when he arrived Edo, ahead of his concert.
The concert, scheduled for August 30 at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, was first announced by Rema in July.
The singer joined Governor Obaseki for the groundbreaking ceremony of Edo Arena and laid the first block. The arena, which will be called ‘Rema’s Dome,’ is located at the former Garrick Memorial School Ground on Ekehuan Road in Benin City,”
They were also joined by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Asue Ighodalo and the Commissioner for Tourism, Arts, Culture and Diaspora Affairs, Uyi Oduwa Malaka, among other top government functionaries.
The elated music sensation thanked the people of the State for their relentless love and support, commending Governor Obaseki for his bold reforms and projects that have improved the lives of the people and transformed the state in the last eight years.
During his concert on Friday, the head of Mavis record label Donjazzy and some of the crew members joined Rema on stage singing and supporting him.
