Raheem Okoya, one of the sons of billionaire industrialist Razaq Okoya, has stirred conversation online after sharing surprising details about his large family.

In a recent interview, Raheem revealed that his father has 26 children with nine different women. According to him, he is the 23rd child in the family, while the firstborn is about 60 years old.

“My dad is a striker. He has 26 kids with 9 different baby mamas. I’m the 23rd among them. The firstborn is around 60 years old,” he said.

The statement quickly gained traction across social media, with many Nigerians reacting to the scale of the Okoya family tree.

A Look at the Okoya Family Legacy

Razaq Okoya is widely known as the founder of the Eleganza Group, a conglomerate with interests in manufacturing, real estate and luxury goods. Over the decades, he has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most prominent businessmen, with a lifestyle that has often drawn public attention.

Raheem, who has previously addressed misconceptions about his background, has maintained that he works and earns a salary despite being the son of a billionaire. He has also spoken about the challenges of growing up in a large, high-profile family where public scrutiny is constant.

His recent comments about his father’s children and different mothers have reignited discussions around polygamy, wealth and family dynamics in Nigeria. While some social media users expressed shock at the numbers, others noted that large families are not uncommon among wealthy and influential figures in certain cultural settings.

The Okoya family has often made headlines for milestone celebrations, luxury displays and public appearances. However, this latest revelation has shifted focus to the sheer size of the household and the generational gap between siblings.

Observers say the disclosure offers a rare glimpse into the private life of one of Nigeria’s wealthiest industrialists, even as the family continues to remain largely reserved about internal matters.

Raheem’s candid remark has since sparked mixed reactions, with some praising his openness and others debating the broader implications of such family structures in modern society.
