Rema Donates N105 Million To Christ Embassy In Benin

Nigerian music star Divine Ikubor, known as Rema, has donated N105 million to Christ Embassy Church in Benin City, Edo State.

Rema was in Edo for the Edo@33 celebration, where he performed at the groundbreaking ceremony of the 6,000-capacity Edo Dome and at a concert at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.

He made the donation to the church’s Edo Regional Headquarters on Erediauwa Street as a gesture of gratitude for the support they provided his family during a difficult time in his childhood, particularly after the loss of his father when he was just eight years old.

Rema shared this during a thanksgiving service at the church.

In his words;

“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.”

He also added saying;

“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,”
