Nigerian music sensation Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, recently made a generous donation of N105 million to Christ Embassy Church in Benin City, Edo State. The Edo-native musician was in the state to celebrate Edo@33 and took part in the groundbreaking ceremony for the 6,000-capacity Edo Dome.
He also performed a musical concert at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, at the invitation of the state government.
Rema, a renowned international musician, made a donation to the Edo Regional Headquarters of the church situated at Erediauwa Street off Ekenwa Road. He expressed his gratitude for the church’s support during a challenging time in his childhood.
During a thanksgiving service at the church, Rema shared how the church had helped his family cope with the loss of his father when he was only eight years old.
He stated that he is not here to seek any praise or recognition for himself, but to give all the glory to God. He also expressed the importance of giving back to the church that has supported him, prayed for him, and helped him stay connected to his faith.
At the age of eight, he experienced the loss of his father, leaving him and his family feeling lost and abandoned. They had lost everything and felt alone. He recalled how Pastor Joy and Pastor Thomas, the leaders of the church, had helped his mother by opening a shop for her.
In a generous gesture of gratitude for the support his family received from the church, he announced a donation of N150 million. “I am committing N40 million towards the church’s infrastructural development, N20 million for the Rhapsody of Realities publication, and N25 million specifically for the teen church where I started my journey.”
“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,” he added.
