Billionaire son and singer, Raheem Okoya, popularly known as Siraheem, has set social media buzzing after unveiling his exclusive bowling centre in Lagos.

The upscale facility, which recently caught public attention through a viral video featuring Chioma Goodhair, revealed a jaw-dropping membership fee that quickly became a hot topic online. According to Siraheem, anyone interested in joining the club must pay $5,000 (approximately ₦7.5 million) annually.

While giving a tour of the centre, the music star confidently described the fee as “cheap,” explaining that the space was designed as a premium entertainment hub for families and game lovers. He also disclosed that the official opening would take place on Sunday.

However, things took a dramatic turn when Chioma asked if people with limited finances could still access the facility. Siraheem bluntly replied that the club was strictly for wealthy individuals, adding that those who couldn’t afford the membership should not bother coming.

His comment immediately divided opinions online. Many fans expressed shock at the pricing, with some arguing that bowling, even abroad, is meant to be affordable and accessible to everyone. Others predicted the business might struggle due to the high entry barrier.

On the flip side, supporters believe the centre will thrive, pointing out that it could become a high-end networking spot for the elite rather than just a place to play games.
