The son of billionaire industrialist Razaq Okoya has set social media buzzing after making a startling revelation about his father’s family life in a video that has now gone viral.
Speaking casually in the trending clip, Raheem Okoya openly described his father as a “striker,” revealing the scale of the businessman’s extended family.
“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.”
The statement quickly triggered massive reactions online, with many Nigerians expressing shock, curiosity, and admiration over the size of the billionaire’s family.
Raheem’s comment has also revived public attention on the Okoya family, which has frequently made headlines over the years for both business influence and high-profile social moments.
Recently, Okoya’s sons, Subomi Okoya and Wahab Okoya, were invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after a viral video showed them spraying naira notes, an act that violates the Central Bank of Nigeria Act.
The family also dominated headlines in 2024 when Shade Okoya stunned guests at an event by gifting a young boy a full bundle of cash. The moment went viral, with many Nigerians affectionately dubbing her the “Rich Aunty of Lagos.”
A year earlier, Shade had publicly celebrated her husband, describing him as her “backbone” and expressing deep admiration, respect, and gratitude for his role in her life and family.
Now, Raheem’s latest revelation has once again pushed the Okoya family into the spotlight — this time sparking widespread debate about wealth, legacy, and the realities of large polygamous family structures among Nigeria’s elite.
Online reactions continue to pour in, with many users stunned by the generational spread of the family, from a first child reportedly around 60 years old to much younger siblings still in their early years.
For now, the viral statement has added another dramatic chapter to the public story of one of Nigeria’s most prominent business dynasties.
