Popular TikTok creator Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has suggested that he may not continue his university education, just days after celebrating his admission to study law at a private university in Lagos State.
In a voice note shared on Tuesday, Peller expressed frustration that attending school was affecting his ability to earn money. “Guys, I swear to God, I remember I said I am going to school… I am not going again. I am not going again,” he said.
He explained that spending hours in class without generating income made the experience unacceptable to him. “I was inside class for four hours. I didn’t make any money. I will write, I will look, I will play, not making anything. God forbid. I am not doing that one again,” he added.
Peller also described feeling out of place among other students, noting that he appeared to be the youngest in his class. “When I enter the school, I notice that everyone is old, I am the only young blood there,” he said. He indicated that he might return to school later in life, suggesting he could resume studies around age 30 or 40.
The development comes shortly after Peller publicly celebrated his admission into the law programme. In a viral video last Saturday, he had announced his acceptance to study law, responding to critics who had mocked his educational background.
“Everyone has been criticising me for not being educated, as if I’m the first person who didn’t attend university. Now, all of you should leave social media, because I’m in school,” he said at the time.
The content creator has faced sustained criticism online over his grammar and educational history. Earlier this month, he had indicated plans to further his education, partly to improve his spoken English. Peller has also recently been in the public eye following a controversy surrounding the visit of American streamer IShowSpeed to Nigeria.
