Hardship: ‘It’s not about giving people rice’ – Rema tells Nigerian politicians

Afrobeats singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has called on Nigerian politicians to implement more effective measures to address hardship and poor governance in the country, rather than just providing temporary relief.

He encouraged them to establish sustainable platforms to consistently provide for the masses.

The singer also revealed that he had been advising the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on some of his policies whenever they met.

Appearing on ‘The Breakfast Club’ recently, Rema said, “It’s not about giving rice. Do you know if some kids have an allergy to rice? What about tomorrow? What are they going to eat tomorrow?

“It’s better to create a platform that would consistently provide. Create a platform that would consistently educate. Create a platform that would consistently clothe. Create a platform that would consistently shelter the hungry people.”
