Rema made ₦1 million at 17.

Divine Ikubor, also known as Rema, a Nigerian musician, shared in a recent interview with Z100 New York that he earned his first ₦1 million (about $2,500) at the age of 17 and gave it all to his mother because he believed she needed it more. Instead of buying a car for himself, Rema decided to prioritize providing for his family. 

Rema emphasized the importance of family and expressed his happiness in being able to provide for his family. Rema has become one of Nigeria's biggest young musicians, known for hits like "Dumebi" and "Woman."

“The person who I knew needed it more was my mum. So, I handed everything I made to her. I know it was cool to drive around the city as a 17-year-old in a cool whip. But I can’t drive a cool whip when my mum didn’t have a car or my mum has to borrow my keys. You know, I had to put her on first.

“Passing all of that to her, whatever investment she makes… I made my first 1 million naira at 17 but I made more than a million. But it’s cool to be in that stage to be able to provide for your family”
