‘It’s not about giving people rice’ – Rema tells Nigerian laments state of the Nation, warns politicians

Afrobeats artist Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has urged Nigerian politicians to adopt more effective and lasting solutions to tackle the hardship and poor governance in the country, rather than offering short-term relief.

Speaking during an interview on The Breakfast Club, He encouraged the creation of sustainable platforms to continually support the population. Rema also mentioned that he has been offering advice to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on various policies during their meetings.

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.”
