Since we are not multi homed nor have our own AS TW did a static route from
their gateway router /IP to our router but they are saying we need to do a

router bgp YOURAS#
  neighbor TWIP next-hop-self

This tell your router to advertise your IP addresses with your
router's address as the next hop. BGP does not do this automatically
because in more complicated configurations it's often not the desired
result.
