He is not a true Muslim — Nigerians slam Razak Okoya for bringing ring light to prayer ground during Eid al-Adha

Raheem Okoya, son of Nigerian billionaire businessman Rasak Okoya, has come under heavy criticism on social media platform X after sharing a video recorded while observing Eid al-Adha prayers.

The video, which quickly went viral online, showed Raheem filming himself during the prayer session, a move many Nigerians described as disrespectful and inappropriate.

Several users on X reacted strongly to the clip, criticizing both his conduct and the manner in which the prayer was performed.

One user wrote:

“Billionaire’s son, Raheem Okoya, thinks he can do whatever he likes and call it prayer. This is my problem with some self-proclaimed Muslims. Nobody is forcing anyone to practice Islam. If you choose to pray, then you should do it the right way.”

Another user simply commented:

“The boy is not a Muslim.”

A different reaction read:

“This is totally unacceptable and his sallah is not complete. He is not praying to God but praying to himself. Whatever wealth or influence he has, Allah can take it away within the blink of an eye. He should humble himself. Dangote, BUA and other big names bow down to Allah; he is nothing in front of Allah.”

Others also questioned certain aspects of his prayer posture shown in the video.

One critic stated:

“His prayer is invalid because he skipped very important aspects of the prayer. His forehead is not on the ground, he is laying all his hands flat on the ground instead of just the palms, and he is not sitting straight for the tahiyyat. Wasted his time.”

The video has since generated widespread debate online, with some defending Raheem Okoya while others insisted that religious practices should be approached with seriousness and respect.
