Rema, the singer, has promised to donate N105 million to
Christ Embassy, the church founded by Chris Oyakhilome, in Benin.
In a video making rounds on social media, Rema, who is in
Benin for his homecoming concert, visited the church on Sunday.
The singer expressed gratitude to the church for “embracing
me and praying for me”.
Rema also recalled how the pastors financially supported his family after the death of his father.
He pledged to donate the sum of N85 million to the church
and N20 million to a widow from the congregation.
“I feel like it is important to give back because the church
has embraced me, prayed for me and has kept me very consistent with my spirit,”
he said.
“Firstly I want to give a pledge of N40 million to the construction
of the church and I want to pledge N20 million to Rhapsody of Realities.
“For the fact that I
came from the teen’s church, I also want to pledge N25 million for their
infrastructure.
“When I was 8 years old and I lost my dad, we felt very lost
and abandoned and all that we had was taken from us.
“I remembered that the pastors of this church opened a shop
for my mum and that was what she used in taking care of us and feeding us. To
add to that, I’m pledging N20 million to any widow in church today.”
Born Divine Ikubor, Rema signed with D’Prince’s Jonzing
World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records, in 2019.
Since then, he has become one of the leading figures in the
music industry.
He won ‘Best Male Artiste’ and ‘Digital Artiste Of The Year’
at the 16th Headies.
In December 2023, Spotify recognised him as one of the most
exported artistes who dominated the year’s charts in sub-Saharan Africa.
Rema’s sophomore album ‘He Is‘ set the record for the
biggest first-week streams on Spotify Nigeria in 2024.
