Former Big Brother Naija reality star, Kiddwaya, has stirred fresh conversations online after claiming that his father, Terry Waya, discovered Banana Island, the luxury residential hub in Lagos widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s most expensive pieces of real estate.
The reality star made the assertion during a recent episode of the Off The Record podcast while responding to a question about his father’s role in the development of the highbrow community.
During the interview, the host asked him directly, “I heard that your dad discovered Banana Island. Is that correct?” Kiddwaya responded, “Yeah, I didn’t even know until I heard it during one of my trips.”
His comment has since generated reactions across social media, with many Nigerians revisiting long-standing claims surrounding the origins of Banana Island and the personalities involved in its early development.
The island, now home to some of the most influential individuals in the country, is known for its ultra-luxury homes, strict planning structure, and exclusivity.
Terry Waya, Kiddwaya’s father, is a self-acclaimed billionaire with investments across multiple sectors including real estate, agriculture, and hospitality.
He gained national attention in the early 2000s for his flamboyant lifestyle and high-profile connections, but his public profile surged again in 2020 following his son’s appearance on the Big Brother Naija “Lockdown” edition. Kiddwaya’s participation in the show brought renewed media interest to the Waya family, giving rise to conversations about Terry Waya’s wealth, influence, and past business dealings.
Kiddwaya’s latest revelation adds to the long list of controversies and public conversations surrounding his father. While some social media users believe his claim reinforces stories they have heard over the years about Terry Waya’s early business breakthroughs, others have questioned the accuracy of the statement, insisting that the development history of Banana Island involves several private and government players.
The short clip from the podcast has already gone viral, with viewers dissecting the conversation and debating whether Kiddwaya’s comment reflects established facts or is simply a repetition of claims familiar to the Waya family.
Regardless of the debates, the reality star’s remark has once again placed him at the centre of online discussions, a space he has remained active in since leaving the Big Brother Naija house.
This is not the first time Kiddwaya will make public comments that trigger nationwide scrutiny. The former reality star has often trended for statements about wealth, lifestyle, public perception, and expectations placed on celebrity figures.
His father, Terry Waya, has also frequently appeared in the news for bold claims about his assets, net worth, and past influence.
While the podcast conversation continues to gain traction, many Nigerians are calling for a clearer historical account of Banana Island’s discovery and early development. Others argue that the revelation, whether accurate or not, highlights the need for proper documentation of major real estate milestones in Lagos.
The full podcast episode, which contains Kiddwaya’s remarks, continues to circulate on social media.
