Peller Gains Admission Into Lagos University, Knocks Critics

Popular Nigerian TikToker, Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, has been admitted to a university in Lagos to study law.

He announced the development in a video shared on social media on Saturday and responded to critics who had previously mocked his educational background.

The video showed him walking into a building with a statue of justice positioned at the entrance, as he suggested that his enrolment marked a turning point in how he should be perceived.

Peller stated that he has been admitted into a “private university in Lagos” but refused to disclose the name of the institution.

“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.

“I’m now studying law, you can see it, right? You can’t mess with me anymore. I know the law,” he added.

Naija News reports that the TikToker has, over the years, faced criticism online, with some describing him as “lousy and uneducated.”

Earlier this month, Peller disclosed plans to further his education, saying the move was partly aimed at improving his “bad” spoken English.

He has also been in the spotlight following controversy surrounding the visit of American streamer IShowSpeed to Nigeria.

Peller was prevented from meeting IShowSpeed by the streamer’s security team while attempting to approach him for a possible collaboration.
