Peller Reveals Why He Pretended To Be Ghanaian During Trip To Canada

Nigerian streamer and social media personality Peller has generated reactions online after claiming that he introduced himself as a Ghanaian while in Canada because of what he described as negative attitudes towards Nigerians.

The entertainer made the revelation while discussing his experiences and interactions with people during his visit to the North American country.

According to a report by Ghanaian Citizen TV on Thursday, November 5, 2026, Peller said he deliberately avoided identifying himself as a Nigerian because he believed some people in Canada had negative perceptions of Nigerians.

Explaining his decision, the streamer stated: “I told people in Canada I am from Ghana because they hate Nigerians.”

His comments have attracted attention from social media users, particularly in Nigeria and Ghana, with different reactions emerging over his explanation.

Some may view his alleged decision as an attempt to avoid possible discrimination or unfavourable treatment linked to stereotypes about Nigerians abroad. Others have questioned why he would choose to identify with another nationality rather than openly introduce himself as a Nigerian.

The statement has also revived conversations about the experiences of Nigerians travelling and living outside the country, especially concerns about how nationality and negative stereotypes can influence interactions with foreigners.

Additionally, Peller’s remarks have drawn attention to the relationship between Nigerians and Ghanaians, whose citizens share strong cultural, entertainment and social connections despite occasional disagreements on social media.

However, the streamer did not provide specific examples of the negative treatment he allegedly encountered in Canada or identify the individuals involved.

His revelation has continued to generate discussions about national identity, cultural pride and the experiences of Africans representing their countries abroad.
