In an interview with BBC Pidgin, Mr. Waya revealed that he was not born into wealth but however luck shone on him during the Military regime of Ibrahim Babandiga, when he (Mr. Waya) was given the contract to develop the luxury Banana Island.

Banana Island is a man-made Island which covers close to 1,630,000 square metres and is divided into 536 plots.

The Lebanese-Nigerian Chagoury Group in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing developed the space.
