Oh, my people! Grab your zobo, settle in and let’s dive into the latest saga involving none other than Raheem Okoya, the son of Nigeria’s billionaire industrialist, Chief Rasaq Okoya. If you haven’t heard already, brace yourself because Raheem is out here making bold declarations that have got everyone talking!
Raheem, the offspring of the man behind Eleganza Group, recently caused quite a stir on the internet. In a candid chat on Wazobia Max Television, he set the record straight about his wealth, letting everyone know that he is his own man, building his empire with nothing but his grit. Yes, you heard me right! He claims none of his bank alerts come from “Papa’s money.” Talk about being independent!
In the now-viral clip swirling around on X, formerly known as Twitter, Raheem appeared all calm and collected, stating firmly that every note in his account is a trophy of his own hustle and not a slice of his father’s fortune. Bold, right? The young Okoya is clearly on a mission to carve his own path, and he sure wants the world to know it!
And you know, the internet never sleeps! Reactions have been pouring in faster than amala disappears at a Yoruba party. While some folks are giving Raheem his props for standing on his own two feet, others are side-eyeing this claim with a healthy dose of skepticism. After all, it’s not every day you hear a billionaire’s child staking such a claim, right?
In the conversation, Raheem didn’t mince words, declaring his financial independence with a nugget of wisdom, saying, “Every penny in my account today is based on what I do, my sweat.” Now, that’s some serious level of self-reliance. For many, it’s hard to imagine turning away from a family fortune that size, but hey, the man seems determined to make his own mark!

As Raheem further elaborated, it seems that despite his privileged background, he wants to prove that he is more than just his father’s son. It’s all about self-made vibes for this young mogul in the making. Who knows, maybe in a few years, we’ll be seeing Raheem running his own conglomerate, fully detached from his father’s legacy.
