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.
Although Rema acknowledged that what his teacher did was technically illegal, he credited him for contributing to his development as an artist and shaping him into the successful musician he is today. The video of Rema’s reunion with his teachers resonated deeply with fans, showcasing the impact of educators on their students’ lives beyond the classroom.
