During the service, it was announced that the church would sponsor some people to a higher institution, and luckily for her, she got selected.

Before then, she had applied to various tertiary institutions, despite her family not being financially buoyant enough to sponsor her. She was hopeful, and RCCG came through for her, despite not being a full member.

She got a scholarship to study at Redeemer's College of Technology and Management-Rectem. Apart from sponsoring her first tertiary education, Rosemary credited her Christian development to the training she received as president of her Redeemed Christian Fellowship (RCF) chapter.

Her Facebook post partly read:

"RCCG sponsored my first tertiary education 🥺.
"RCCG is one church I know just a little but great things about. Talking about Daddy EA Adeboye wrongly is the most silly act anyone can get involved in.
"You criticize a level, you have not attained, quite alarming.
