Peller Reveals Reason for Leaving University
Popular Nigerian TikTok streamer Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has disclosed why he abandoned his university education despite reportedly paying over N2 million in tuition fees. He made this known during a recent live session while addressing critics who frequently question his academic background.
Peller, who recently celebrated his traditional wedding, stated that returning to school remains one of his future aspirations. He expressed a desire to ensure that he, his fiancée Jarvis, and their future children all become university graduates.
Promise to Return to School
“My woman is a graduate, and my future child will also be a graduate. We are all going to be graduates. Time is not late for me to go back to school,” he said during the livestream.
Peller claimed that he had secured admission into a university after officials allegedly assured him he could combine his studies with content creation. According to him, the understanding was that he would be allowed to livestream his classes while attending lectures, enabling him to maintain his online audience.
Alleged Deception by University
However, he alleged that the institution changed its stance after he had already enrolled. “The university I wanted to attend whined me. They deceived me that I would be streaming my classes, but they didn’t allow me stream, so I stopped going,” he claimed.
The TikTok star further asserted that he paid more than other students at the institution. “I paid over ₦2 million. Even students attending that school today have never paid that amount, but I did,” he added. Peller did not disclose the name of the university during the session.
Reactions and Criticism
His comments have reignited debates about education, success, and the digital economy. Recently, rapper Ycee criticised what he called the “Olodo uprising” and “Peller culture,” arguing that society appears to reward ignorance over intellectual achievement.
Social media users also reacted to Peller’s confession. @BgKkys commented: “You and whoever demanded you to pay are both fools. Why will you stream in class? Why will they ask you to pay to excuse that nonsense in a place of learning?”
@Special21022 noted: “He is not ready to go to school. You can go to school and come back afternoon to do your streaming. Also not all days in the week you go to school, he has the finance and can sort himself out if he misses school or test for anything. Truly OLODO UPRISING.”
Jarvis Addresses Pregnancy Rumours
Earlier, Peller’s fiancée Jarvis reacted online after rumours claimed she was pregnant due to changes in her stomach appearance. The content creator explained in a video that her stomach resulted from her eating habits, late-night meals, and sleeping immediately after eating. She urged people to stop spreading rumours about her body.
