“Put Some Respect On My Name!” Kiddwaya Boasts, Says His Dad Is The Reason Nigeria Enjoys Democracy Today.
Nigerian reality TV star and billionaire heir, Kiddwaya, has dropped a historical bombshell that is sparking heavy debate online. The former Big Brother Naija housemate boldly claimed that his billionaire father, Terry Waya, is one of the foundational pillars of modern Nigerian democracy, having personally convinced a military Head of State to hand over power to a civilian government.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Kiddwaya revealed that his father is notoriously private about his massive political achievements, only sharing historic details when specifically questioned.
The Secret Transition Meeting That Changed Nigeria’s History
According to Kiddwaya, the pivotal moment happened immediately after the sudden death of military dictator General Sani Abacha in 1998. He disclosed that his father’s close associate, who was second-in-command, ascended to the presidency and immediately sought the billionaire’s counsel:
-
The Presidential Visit: The newly sworn-in military leader allegedly visited Terry Waya’s residence, expressing uncertainty about how to steer the nation forward.
-
The Billionaire’s Advice: Terry Waya explicitly advised the military ruler to step aside and transition Nigeria into a democratic state, allowing citizens the right to vote.
-
The Hidden Truth: Kiddwaya expressed shock that his father had kept such an monumental piece of Nigerian history a secret from the general public.
Kiddwaya Statement: “When Sani Abacha died, my dad’s close friend was the second in command, so his friend became president. He came to the house and said look, Terry, I’m president now, I don’t really know what to do, what should we do. And my dad said, give it to democracy. Like, make it a democracy so the people can vote. When he told me that, I was like, ‘dad you should tell people this.’ He is one of the reasons Nigeria has a democracy…”
Terry Waya’s Unspoken Legacy: Discovering Banana Island
The reality star also noted that his father never “blows his own trumpet,” citing another massive revelation he only recently discovered through an international media broadcast.
Kiddwaya confessed he had no idea his father was deeply involved in the development and recognition of Banana Island—widely regarded as the most expensive and luxurious piece of real estate across the African continent—until Terry Waya casually mentioned it during an interview with the BBC.
“Put Some Respect on Our Name”
| Asset / Legacy | Terry Waya’s Hidden Footprint (According to Kiddwaya) |
| Banana Island, Lagos | Discovered and championed its recognition as Africa’s premier luxury real estate. |
| Nigerian Fourth Republic | Personally counselled post-Abacha military leadership to adopt a democratic system. |
| Political Influence | Maintained deep, influential ties with top-ranking military top brass to steer national policy. |
Kiddwaya concluded by stating that learning about these hidden chapters of his father’s life completely changed how he views his family’s legacy, urging Nigerians to recognize the quiet but massive impact Terry Waya has had on the nation’s history.
Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has opened up about her romantic life, disclosing that she has never experienced a situation where the affection she gives to a partner is not reciprocated.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
News reports that the actress made the revelation during an interview with GoldMyneTV.
During the conversation, Lawal admitted that she might not be the best person to offer relationship advice because of her intense approach to love and romantic relationships.
According to the actress, whenever she develops feelings for someone, she commits wholeheartedly and gives the relationship her full affection.
She also suggested that married people might be better suited to offering relationship advice because of their experiences and understanding of marriage.
Lawal said:
“I feel like I can’t give relationship advice because I love deep. I love too much. I love with all my heart.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had that. The love always comes back really strong. It’s just that human beings will be who they are.”
In a related development, the actress disclosed in a 2022 interview why she had yet to get married.
She explained that financial stability and the ability to provide for a family were among the factors influencing her decision to remain unmarried.
Lawal also noted that her acting career did not provide a consistent income that would enable her to comfortably plan for marriage and raise children.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused the African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, of denying the founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, approval to construct the ‘Hand of God’ Cathedral in Rivers State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
News reports that Wike made the allegation while addressing a town hall meeting, in a video that has since circulated online.
According to the minister, Ibiyeomie had sought approval to build the cathedral when Amaechi was governor of Rivers State but was allegedly denied permission.
Wike questioned Amaechi’s decision to attend services at the same church, suggesting that his recent visit was politically motivated.
The FCT minister also accused the former governor of refusing to grant the founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, approval to construct a church. He claimed that he granted the approval after taking over as governor, enabling the cleric to proceed with the project.
Wike said:
“There is this leading pastor, one of our respected pastors in this country, who is from my place and doing very well.
“When he was to build that church (Hand of God Cathedral), the ADC vice-presidential candidate was the Rivers State Governor. He refused to give approval to the pastor.
“Somebody else gave approval, and now the church is going on. Yesterday, I saw the vice-presidential candidate going to that same church to worship.
“Because he wants power now, he forgets what he did. There is another one, the OPM Ministry. He refused to give the OPM pastor approval, but when I came, I gave the man approval, and the man built the church. I heard the vice-presidential candidate wants to go and worship there too.
“Why do you like to fake things, telling people lies? I will not do so.”
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has defended the ₦10 million reward promised by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to councillors who deliver their respective wards for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Yilwatda dismissed criticism of the pledge, insisting that it did not amount to vote buying.
Naija News reports that the APC chairman made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.
Wike had made the promise at a political gathering in Kwali Area Council, where he pledged to give each councillor ₦10 million if they secured victory for Tinubu and other APC candidates in their wards in 2027.
According to Yilwatda, the offer was directed at approximately 60 councillors in the FCT and was intended to encourage them to intensify their political mobilisation efforts.
When asked whether the promise amounted to electoral inducement, the APC chairman argued that political parties routinely provide funds for mobilisation.
“Which political party doesn’t release money for mobilisation? Which political party? So, tell me one. No, it’s not for votes,” he said.
Yilwatda compared the proposed payment to a reward given to students who perform exceptionally well in examinations.
He further argued that the money would only be paid after the election results had been announced and all legal processes concluded, insisting that it could not influence voters or determine the outcome of the election.
“It matters because if the money is given after the election has been concluded and the winner has been declared and there’s nothing at stake again… that you legally deliver your ward by giving you ₦10 million,” he said.
When pressed further on whether the pledge constituted vote buying, Yilwatda responded, “Never.”
On the possibility of Senate President Godswill Akpabio retaining his position if re-elected in 2027, the APC chairman said it was too early to make such a determination.
“Let’s wait for the election first. I don’t have anybody in mind. The Senate will determine who they want to make the Senate President,” he stated.
Yilwatda also expressed sympathy for victims of pre-election violence, warning party supporters against engaging in attacks.
“Our party stands for free and fair elections,” he added.
