Former Big Brother Naija star Kiddwaya has stirred public curiosity after revealing that his father, Terry Waya, discovered the elite Banana Island in Lagos.

Kiddwaya made the disclosure during a recent episode of the Off The Record podcast. Responding to a question from the host about the long-circulated claim, he confirmed, “Yeah, I didn’t even know until I heard it during one of my trips.”

Terry Waya, a self-acclaimed billionaire, has built a reputation around his investments spanning real estate, agriculture and hospitality. His public profile rose sharply in 2020 following his son’s appearance on the Big Brother Naija reality show, where Kiddwaya became one of the season’s most talked-about housemates.

Kiddwaya’s latest revelation adds fresh buzz to ongoing conversations about the origins and development of Banana Island, one of Nigeria’s most expensive and exclusive residential zones.
