Nigerian Streamer Peller Abruptly Withdraws from Caleb University
Nigerian social media personality and TikTok sensation, Habeeb "Peller" Hamzat, has made a sudden decision to withdraw from Caleb University just days after resuming his academic activities. The young entertainer's unexpected move was revealed through a viral voice note that has been circulating widely across various online platforms, sparking intense discussions among his followers and critics alike.
Financial Frustrations Behind Academic Departure
In the candid audio recording that has captured public attention, Peller expressed deep frustration with the traditional educational system, particularly highlighting the financial aspect of his academic pursuits. The streamer lamented the experience of sitting through lengthy lectures without seeing any immediate monetary return on his time investment.
"I will now sit inside class for like seven hours and be writing and looking? And play play not making anything? God forbid," Peller declared in the viral recording, clearly articulating his dissatisfaction with the perceived lack of financial productivity during classroom hours.
Age Disparity and Classroom Discomfort
Beyond financial concerns, Peller revealed another surprising reason for his abrupt departure from the university. The young content creator claimed he felt distinctly out of place among his fellow students, whom he described as appearing "too old" compared to himself.
"When I entered the school I see that everybody is old, so me too I need to get old like 30 or 40 years before I go," he humorously remarked in the voice note, suggesting that he might only consider returning to formal education when he reaches a more advanced age.
Complete Academic Break and Mental Exhaustion
The entertainer made it clear that his decision represents more than just a temporary pause in his studies. Peller emphasized that he is experiencing extreme mental fatigue and requires a complete break from academic pressures.
In his concluding statements within the recording, the streamer vowed never to return to the institution, citing overwhelming exhaustion and a fundamental disinterest in conventional classroom structures. While he did not specify whether he would complete formal withdrawal procedures or simply cease attendance, his message conveyed a definitive departure from his brief academic journey.
Social Media Reactions to Peller's Decision
The viral voice note has generated diverse reactions across social media platforms, with users expressing varying perspectives on Peller's unconventional educational choice:
- @zoeymetax commented: "Peller really out here speaking facts! Seven hours in class with zero cash? That's a mood. Hope he finds a way to balance learning and earning before 40."
- @DaSTReet5 offered a critical perspective: "If he believes he can exploit us to generate content and profit, thanks to Elon Musk's platform, then our pushback is already proving worthwhile and effective. If he wants, let him wait a hundred years to get a proper education; that's his choice and his life to waste."
- @kori_babatorpe suggested an alternative approach: "Just get a private tutor, all u need is English lessons, your ability to express yourself will improve and thereby your confidence also."
- @GeoTechEazy added context: "For how much.. Even the likes of Lami Yama still dey go school.. May nigeria never happen to us."
Background and Previous Educational Developments
This development follows earlier reports that Peller had announced his intention to study law at Caleb University, generating excitement among his fanbase. Prior to this, the streamer's WAEC results had surfaced online, showing that he passed most subjects with Literature in English listed as cancelled.
Peller had previously mentioned that he would be paying millions in tuition fees, contrasting this with what he perceived as lower fees paid by those who had mocked his educational aspirations. His initial decision to pursue higher education had been met with widespread support from followers who praised his determination to further his academic qualifications despite his established success in digital content creation.
The young entertainer's abrupt reversal highlights the ongoing tension between traditional educational paths and the rapidly evolving digital economy, particularly for young Nigerians navigating both worlds. His candid expression of financial priorities versus academic commitments reflects broader conversations about value, time investment, and career development in contemporary Nigerian society.
