Nigerian TikTok star Peller has revealed that he came close to selling the Abuja property gifted to him by businessman Ochacho, but a timely intervention from a close associate changed his mind.
Peller's Preference for Lagos Nearly Cost Him a Gift
During a recent livestream, Peller admitted that he had considered offloading the house shortly after receiving it. His primary reason was his strong attachment to Lagos, where he currently resides and prefers to stay. The content creator confessed that he had no immediate plans to settle in Abuja, making the property seem less valuable to him personally.
However, before any sale could proceed, someone close to him stepped in with advice that made him pause and reconsider. According to Peller, this person emphasized that the house was a gift, not a purchase, and therefore held sentimental and symbolic value that should not be discarded lightly.
The Advice That Changed His Mind
In his own words during the livestream, Peller said: "I almost sold the house Ochacho gave me in Abuja because I prefer to stay in Lagos, but someone advised me not to sell it because it is a gift."
This counsel resonated with him, and he ultimately decided against selling the property. The Abuja house was reportedly a wedding gift from Ochacho, a socialite and businessman, following Peller's marriage to Jarvis.
Social Media Reactions Mixed
Legit.ng compiled reactions from social media users who weighed in on Peller's confession. Some questioned the legal status of the property, while others doubted whether it was truly a gift.
- @MikeAgom commented: "You can’t sell that house, the land title R of O wasn’t given, only gave you some bunch of papers, no knowledge buyers will be ready to buy that house and having that property in Ochacho estate another disadvantage, na who get strength to fight go wan buy am cos your money fit go…like otilor"
- @gudoh5 noted: "I don't think Peller has a lawyer who really sat him down to explain in details using his local dialect that the house rented to him for free. Can be collected back at any time, but man wants to sell it"
Peller Defends Early Marriage
In a separate development, Peller also sparked debate online by defending his decision to marry young. He argued that advice to delay marriage until one's 30s or 40s stems from poverty, not wisdom. In a viral video, he urged young people in love to act without fear of societal expectations.
Peller's statements have generated significant discussion among fans and critics alike, with many weighing in on both his property decision and his views on marriage.
