Rema Gifts Christ Embassy The Sum Of N105m For Supporting His Family While Growing Up 

Popular Nigerian singer and MAVIN signee, Divine Ikubor, best known as Rema, has gifted the sum of N105 million to Christ Embassy Church, Benin City, Edo State.

Rema was recently in his state, Edo State to perform at the celebration ceremony of Edo@33; he was invited by the Edo State government to perform at the groundbreaking ceremony of the 6,000-capacity Edo Dome and a musical concert at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.

Rema was also in attendance at the thanksgiving service of Christ Embassy in Edo State on Sunday; he donated the sum of N105 million to the church while acknowledging the role played by the church after the death of his father at age 8.

Addressing the church, Rema said that he is present at the church not to give accolades to himself but to give glory to God. He appreciated the church for raising him and praying for him while growing up before his fame.

Rema said, “I am not here to give myself any form of accolades or glory but to give to God the glory. And, I felt it was important to give back to the church that has embraced me, prayed for me and kept me very consistent with my spirit.

“When I was eight years old when I lost my dad, we felt very lost and abandoned."

"All that we had were taken from us and we felt 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 and feed us.”

"Firstly, I want to give a pledge of N40 million to the infrastructural development of the church, N20 million to the Rhapsody of Realities publication, and, being a fact that I came from the teen church, I also like to pledge N25 million to the church.

“And just to add to that, if there is any widow in church today, I am pledging N20 million to assist all the widows in attendance."
