Nigerian billionaire industrialist Rasaq Okoya is trending again after his son, Raheem Okoya, jokingly described him as a “striker” for fathering 26 children with nine women.
In a viral remark, Raheem revealed he is the 23rd child, noting that the eldest sibling is about 60 years old.
“My dad is a striker. He has 26 kids with 9 different baby mamas. We are the last set. His first child is 60 years old,” he said
The playful comment quickly sparked humorous reactions online, with many comparing the family size to a full football squad and referencing prolific players like Zlatan Ibrahimović.
The revelation once again spotlights the expansive family of the Eleganza Group founder, whose personal life has long drawn public curiosity.
While some social media users praised the humor and celebrated Okoya’s legacy, others questioned the implications of such a large family.
