Former Big Brother Naija star, Kiddwaya, has set social media abuzz after claiming that his father, Terry Waya, “discovered” the iconic Banana Island one of Nigeria’s most luxurious and expensive residential areas.
The revelation came during his appearance on the Off The Record podcast, where the host directly questioned him about long-circulating rumours surrounding his family’s connection to the high-end Lagos enclave.
“I heard that your dad discovered Banana Island. Is that correct?” the host asked.
In response, Kiddwaya confirmed the claim without hesitation.
“Yeah, I didn’t even know until I heard it during one of my trips,” he said, suggesting that even he learned of the alleged feat indirectly.
Terry Waya, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and self-acclaimed billionaire status, has business interests spanning real estate, agriculture and hospitality. His public prominence surged dramatically in 2020 following Kiddwaya’s stint on Big Brother Naija, where the younger Waya became one of the season’s most talked-about contestants.
Kiddwaya’s statement has reignited public curiosity about the origins of Banana Island, a man-made marvel renowned for housing some of Nigeria’s wealthiest elites. His comment is already generating conversations online, with many seeking clarity on the extent of Terry Waya’s involvement in the development of the prestigious island.
A clip of the interview has continued to circulate widely as reactions pour in from fans and critics alike.
