Raheem Okoya, son of Nigerian billionaire industrialist and Eleganza Group founder, Chief Rasaq Okoya, has stated that his wealth is the result of his own hard work and not his father’s riches.
Speaking during an interview on Wazobia Max Television, which has since gone viral on X, Raheem Okoya clarified that his financial achievements are self-earned. He emphasised that his journey has been shaped by dedication, effort, and consistency rather than inheritance.

When asked whether his current lifestyle was supported by his father, he replied, “Yes, of course. Every penny in my bank today is based off of what I do — my sweat, my hard-earned money, not my father’s.”
The young Okoya noted that while he is still pursuing greater success, he is content with how far he has come.
“I’m comfortable, you know. Obviously I’m not where I want to be, but at least if I want chop, I fit chop now,” he said with a smile.
