In a statement that quickly circulated across social media platforms, Kiddwaya claimed his father had a significant link to the development or early recognition of Banana Island, one of Lagos’ most exclusive residential areas.
“My father was the first man to discover Banana Island and I didn’t even know,” he said.
The comment immediately sparked debate among users online, with many questioning the context of the statement while others expressed curiosity about the claim and its historical accuracy.
Banana Island, located in Lagos, is widely known for its luxury residences and high-profile occupants, making any association with its origins a subject of public interest and scrutiny.
The remark has further amplified ongoing conversations about wealth, legacy and influence among prominent Nigerian families, particularly those connected to business and public life.
While Kiddwaya did not provide additional details to support the claim, the statement has continued to trend across social media platforms, drawing both humour and scepticism from users.
