Following his recent comments on the nature of success and wealth, Siraheem Okoya, the son of Nigerian businessman and founder of Eleganza Group Chief Razaq Okoya, has sparked a flurry of discussion on social media.
The billionaire heir made the argument that one’s mental health comes before one’s financial situation in an open interview that has since gone viral.
Siraheem encouraged young Nigerians to change their own viewpoints in order to break free from the cycle of lack during a livestream conversation with well-known video creator Carter Efe.
By arguing that material reality is only a mirror of one’s cognitive habits, he positioned the human brain as the ultimate engine for prosperity.
“Poverty is a mindset. If you want to achieve, you must elevate your thinking to a higher frequency. God gave us the most powerful tool in the world—the brain—and it is up to you to use it. When you change the frequency of your thoughts, your reality follows,” Siraheem stated.
While the “higher frequency” philosophy resonated with some as a call to self-empowerment, it was met with swift pushback from critics who labeled the comments “out of touch.”
Many argued that fundamental economic constraints cannot be overcome by “mindset” alone, pointing out that Siraheem’s perspective is insulated by his father’s enormous industrial enterprise.
Siraheem responded to the criticism by stating that he loves independence and that he works for his own money rather than depending just on his family.
