Fernando Torres is trending because of the El NiƱo weather situation making headlines worldwide. The Liverpool football legendās nickname is also El NiƱo, and fans believe his own El NiƱo is even more lethal.
Letās compare. Shall we?
El NiƱo
Age: 501 š“š½
Appearance: 72-250 avg. 161 āļø
Casualties: 50M+š
Damage Percentage: 0.62% š
El NiƱo
Age: 42šØ
Appearance: 877š¤
G/A: 386 šÆā½ļø
Damage Percentage: 43.52%ā ļø
Technically, Torres is more lethal.
Torres earned the nickname El NiƱo, which means the āThe Kidā in Spain, during his early playing days.
So, some fishermen around Peru and Ecuador noticed that periodically around December, ocean water becomes unusually warm, and fishes disappear. As the heat affects nutrients supply, so the fishes migrate, and their catch drops drastically.
Because this happens around December, the fishermen started aligning and referencing it with the birth of Jesus, calling it El NiƱo de Navidad., meaning ā The Christmas child.
The name had been in use for centuries until a Peruvian captain, Camilo Carrillo documented it in 1892. Also La NiƱa (the girl child), the opposite condition when cool.
Regardless, and quite courageous, some
football fans are arguing with certainty that the Spanish footballer is more lethal, dangerous and scarier than the Peruvian El NiƱo.
We did the numbers already, Torres actually caused 43.52% more damage.

Update: Rasaq Okoya replies estranged son Fatai Okoya.
āFatai is not the first child, heās the third. Itās regrettable he publicized family matter to gain sympathy and attention. 40yrs ago he demanded a shocking settlement, 4 respected family friends intervened, all surprised by his demand, yet we had an all night meeting, and gave him all he asked for accordingly.
We also gave him 4 flats in Ogunlana, Surulere where he currently lives, and we still pay his medical bills.
At the 86th birthday outreach, a family member told him (Fatai), that the occasion wasnāt the place to discuss family issues with his father, he agreed and left., not Mrs. Shade Okoya.
Other than exchange pleasantries, Chief Mrs. Shade Okoya didnāt say a word to him that day, and several guests witnessed the entire incident.
Fatai had fallen out with his father long before he married Shade. Rasaq Okoya has publicly stated that anyone whoās not willing to respect and abide by his wishes are on their own.
Aare Razaq Okoya and Chief Shade Okoya are easygoing, quiet and respected people, they do not intend to have private affairs turned into disputes to be aired or discussed on social
No misunderstanding can be settled online. Any family member who wishes to raise a matter with the Aare should do so privately, through the proper family channels.ā
For: Okoya Family.
Mr. Nathaniel Omeninwan, Senior Public Relations Manager Eleganza Industry Ltd.
Okoya is trending because Fatai Okoya 66, the first son of billionaire, Alahji Razaq Okoya 86, is begging his father for forgiveness, after 40yrs of disowning him., But alleges Shade Okoya, is in control.
Apparently, he moved some money back in the day and then married someone his father did not approve; it destroyed their relationship.
66yr old Fatai, said for years heās been trying to beg his father for forgiveness.
He had gone through his grandmother, his dadās friends, and many prominent figures, but Chief Razaq wonāt budge, instead he cuts off people who tried to mediate.
Meanwhile, he has forgiven others, but refused to forgive him. But Fatai said he now understands that someone is blocking his attempts, alleging perhaps, his wife, Shade Okoya.
The last time he saw his father, was in January 2026 at his 86th birthday, where he got a special invite, which he honored. Upon arrival, relatives tried to facilitate a meeting between himself and father, Razak Okoya.
Almost at the meeting point, Shade Okoya, Razaqās youngest wife, turned him away, saying he couldnāt see his father unless he was duly informed.
Meanwhile, Chief Razaq sighted him but remained quiet, as Shade already decided. This suggested to him that, she might be in total control of his father.
Yesterday, Fatai shared an open letter to his father saying he regrets their years apart and begged for another chance to rebuild their relationship.
He followed up this letter with a TikTok live interview on YeyeKudi Courtroom; where he made other revelations.
Stressing that, he misses his father, and all that happened in the past was due to youthful exuberant and influence from his time overseas.
While Nigerians have tagged Fatai the prodigal son, who perphaps got wind of his fatherās unfavorable will; his daughter from the controversial marriage, whoās now over 40yrs old, said they are not poor or lacking anything. Fatai also added that, his grandmother left him some inheritance.
His daughter extensively said her father, Fatai, is old and just wants closure.
They are not asking for money or anything. But the emotional stress is taking a toll on her dad and itās spilling to them, as he somehow blames them for the misfortune, even though the controversial wife is now late.
But many Nigerians argued that Fatai is being misled, as he should be going through Shade Okoya, instead of vilifying her.
In a recent 2026 interview, Razaq Okoya lamented how kids of these days donāt listen, or are willing to do things the old way, because they have their own ideas.
He added that, They must learn things the way we are doing it. They hold the future. 79 years old, I have to pass it on to them. I donāt want them to fail like their senior ones.ā
Perhaps the reason Sir Raheem Okoya quit music.

āBurna Boy and Davido were tricked and locked alone in the managers office, at Club Ox while everyone waited outside. Nobody knew what they discussed, but they came out smiling and chilled together. Hip Hip hurray.ā
ā Blogger Cutie Juls elaborates.
Davido is trending because himself and Burna Boy š¦ have reportedly settled their differences;
After an alleged meeting at a club in VI, Lagos, during Zlatanās bachelorās party, where both stars excused their entourage for a one-on-one meeting in a room.
Davidoās fans have begun deleting insults at Burna. But Burna Boyās tweets insulting the 30BG president are still up.
Casting further doubt on the alleged settlement reported by ace gossip blogger Cutie Juls. Because, there has been no photo or video evidence showing both stars.
This isnāt the first time reports of a settlement between them have surfaced. Last month, rumours suggested that Burna Boyās mum had met with Davido to facilitate a settlement.
In January 2022, Burna Boy himself confirmed they had settled, and would like peace and love, after his cryptic post suggesting Davidoās dadās bought him success in the industry, not talent.
ā2022 all of us must love ourselves by fire by force, if not make we just kill ourselves,ā Burna Boy said.
However, the following year, their beef reached new heights after Davido described him as āNew Catā and some speculated issues regarding frat settings.
Which has now also been allegedly settled.
As of now, neither team has confirmed the development or given any positive hints about it.
But fans are divided; debating who initiated the settlement, with many believing it was Burna Boy. His fans, however, argue otherwise.
Generally, many believe itās all just an agenda. But neutrals are asking one question; what happens to VeryDarkMan if it is true?
