Billionaire industrialist Razaq Okoya’s son, Raheem Olasubomi Okoya, widely known by his stage name SirRaheem or Sirheem, has shared an inspiring story of a long-time Eleganza security officer who dedicated 49 years of his life to the family business before handing over the baton to his son.
On June 19, 2026, SirRaheem posted a video on Instagram where he was seen sitting with an elderly security man as he reflected on his decade of working at Eleganza Industrial City Limited during its founding years.
In an emotional interview, the veteran guard recounted how he first met Razaq Akanni Okoya as a young man and how he was entrusted with overseeing security at the ceramics factory, one of the company’s earliest major ventures.
Sharing the moment online, SirRaheem described the encounter as a touching reminder of loyalty and commitment, highlighting the important role of guards in the growth of the Eleganza brand.
“Today I had the pleasure of connecting with a man who has worked with Eleganza for 49 years as our head of internal security in various branches. He first met my dad as a young man when my dad was developing his factories, and my dad trusted him so much that he went on to lead our security unit at the ceramics factory, one of the first of its kind at the time. An incredible story of resilience and loyalty,” he wrote.
The singer also paid tribute to those who contributed to the building of the Eleganza empire, noting with pride that the man’s son, who grew up in a ceramics factory, has now taken over his father’s role as head of internal security at the same location.
“Eleganza is forever grateful to the key people who helped build this empire. His son, born and raised in our ceramics factory, has now come of age and taken over his father’s duties, leading internal security in the same area. A truly remarkable story.”

@ati_de_ade_kiniun_:”A person has served ELEGANCE for 49 years, see where he left it 😮😢😢”
@naijaparrot6:”A generation of security men. 😢. His son is now also security. People, take your destiny into your own hands or you will serve a man and also serve a child and die a pauper. This old man is a classic example”
@itsini.sp: “Man, this is not an extraordinary story, it’s a generational problem. Parents should pray against their children ending up in the same circumstances that they had to accept due to poverty. Whatever you do to break the cycle of poverty, take it seriously. This is crazy.🥹”
@iamaradrummer1: “This is very commendable. Well done Subomi.”
