23-year-old Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, recently touched the hearts of his teachers and fans during a visit to his former school in Edo state.
Rema, known for hits like “Calm Down,” made a memorable return to his hometown of Benin City, Edo state, after six years away in pursuit of his music career. During this visit, he took a moment to visit his old secondary school and reconnect with some of his former teachers.
In a heartwarming video that went viral, Rema acknowledged one of his teachers, referred to as ‘Uncle Esosa,’ for his significant role in his musical journey while he was a student. He revealed that Uncle Esosa would help him skip school so he could go to the studio and work on his music.
