In the now-trending remark, Raheem stated he is the 23rd child in the family hierarchy, adding that the eldest sibling is “around 60.” The comment quickly gained traction across social media platforms, prompting mixed reactions from Nigerians.

Observers say the viral moment reflects the continued public fascination with the private lives of prominent business families in Nigeria.

Razaq Okoya is widely known as the founder of Eleganza Group, a major Nigerian conglomerate with interests spanning manufacturing and consumer goods. Over the decades, he has built a reputation as one of the country’s most prominent industrialists and philanthropists.

Members of the Okoya family, including Raheem, have maintained an active public presence, particularly on social media, where aspects of their lifestyle frequently draw public interest.
