Nigerian Streamer Peller Announces Major Live Streaming Tour Across Multiple States
Nigerian social media personality and TikTok sensation Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has officially announced his inaugural live streaming tour across Nigeria. This significant development marks a pivotal moment in his digital entertainment career, as he plans to connect with fans in person through live content creation.
Tour Details and State List Revealed
Peller made the exciting announcement through his Instagram page on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, revealing that his tour will span more than ten states throughout the country. While specific commencement dates remain undisclosed, the streamer shared a comprehensive image listing sixteen destinations he intends to visit during this ambitious nationwide journey.
The confirmed states include:
- Ibadan
- Ekiti
- Ogun
- Akwa Ibom
- Port Harcourt
- Imo
- Abia
- Abuja
- Kaduna
- Edo
- Ondo
- Calabar
- Borno
- Osun
- Enugu
- Ebonyi
Peller hinted at the possibility of additional states being included in a potential second phase of the tour, stating clearly: "These are the states I will be touring. If your state is not here u will have to wait for part 2."
Inspiration from International Streaming Events
The announcement appears to draw inspiration from American streamer IShowSpeed's recent African tour, which included a notable stop in Lagos, Nigeria. Interestingly, Peller had previously attempted to meet IShowSpeed during his Lagos visit but was prevented from doing so by the international star's security team.
A viral video captured the dramatic moment when Peller approached IShowSpeed during a livestream, only to be intercepted and escorted away by bodyguards. In another memorable incident, Peller famously chased after IShowSpeed's convoy on horseback in a desperate attempt to gain attention, pleading: "Please I'm a streamer. I'm big. Please let's do something. I have suffered because of you."
Mixed Reactions from Nigerian Netizens
The tour announcement has generated diverse reactions across social media platforms, with many users playfully referring to Peller as "IShowPeller" in reference to his apparent emulation of IShowSpeed's touring model.
Some comments expressed enthusiastic support for the initiative, with user mommyasa stating: "This is such a great move, Peller, I honestly love this for you. Go out there and show the world what they couldn't show Speed. We're rooting for you all the way."
Other reactions included humorous observations about the state list presentation and location-specific advice. User bayanoscomedy cautioned: "Peller make i first advice you, when you come portharcourt no go there go dey talk or sound disrespectful or abuse any senior man way from ph, cus ur bouncers no go save u oh."
Broader Context of Digital Entertainment in Nigeria
This tour announcement comes amid growing recognition of digital content creation as a viable career path in Nigeria. Media personality Daddy Freeze recently sparked conversation by suggesting that natural entertainment talents like Peller might achieve faster success through their creative skills rather than traditional university education.
Freeze cited global examples including Khaby Lame, the Italian-Senegalese creator who rose from factory work to become the world's most followed TikToker during the pandemic. This perspective highlights the evolving landscape of entertainment careers in Nigeria's digital age.
Peller's nationwide tour represents a significant step in localizing the global live streaming phenomenon, bringing international-style content tours to Nigerian audiences while creating opportunities for direct fan engagement across multiple states.
