This contribution took place during a Sunday service, where
Rema expressed his gratitude to the church for its unwavering support and
guidance.
In a widely shared video, he stated, “I’m not here to seek
accolades or recognition.
My purpose is to give glory to God. It is essential to give
back, as the church has embraced me, prayed for me, and helped maintain my
spiritual consistency.
“To begin with, I am pledging N40 million for the church's infrastructure. Additionally, I will contribute N20 million to Rhapsody of Realities, and since I have roots in the teens church, I am also committing N25 million for its infrastructure.
Furthermore, I am dedicating N20 million to support widows
within the church today.”
Rema also shared how the church played a crucial role in
supporting his family during a challenging period following his father's death.
He recalled, “At the age of eight, after losing my father,
we felt lost and abandoned. Everything we had was taken from us, and we felt
isolated.
I remember Pastor Joy and Pastor Thomas, the church's
pastors, who opened a shop for my mother, which helped sustain us.”
Rema returned to his hometown in Benin on Tuesday in
anticipation of his much-awaited homecoming concert.
Music producer Collins Michael, known as Don Jazzy, along
with the Mavin crew, also arrived in Benin to support Rema's concert.
Additionally, Rema was honored by the Oba of Benin at his
palace, where he received a royal plaque prior to the concert.
